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 create a fire hazard.
— If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent- this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
— Ensure all objects are removed from clothing pockets such as lighters and matches.
— Before first use, clean the inside of the drum with a soft fabric cloth and run the “Refresh” program with some clean rags inside. After finishing the cycle, please clean the lint filter as per the instructions within this user manual.
