Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.

DO NOT dry unwashed items in the laundry dryer.

WARNING: Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the laundry dryer.

Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried in the laundry dryer.

The final part of a laundry dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.

WARNING: Never stop a laundry dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that heat is dissipate.

Set the drying timer knob between 30-60 minutes depending on the amount of items in the dryer. Once the timer stops (including the cool program) the items will still contain moisture, making the ironing process easier.
