To minimize the risk of fire in a washer-dryer, the following should be observed:

●Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire hazard and should not placed in a washer-dryer. Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in washer-dryer. The items become warm, causing an 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.

7

●If it is unavoidable that fabrics contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in washer-dryer, it should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard. The “cool down” cycle of washer-dryer is used to reduce the temperature of the items. It should not be removed from the washer-dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

●Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, drycleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances should not be placed in washer-dryer.

●Highly flammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosine, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

●Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber, like materials should not be dried in a washer-dryer on a heat setting.

●Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fire by spontaneous combustion.

●Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a washer-dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

●Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a washer-dryer.

●Damage to the washer-dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. When available a drying rack could be used for such itmes.
