• Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources

such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil.

Oxidation creates heat. If the

item s heat cannot escape, the can become hot enough to catch fire. Pilling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so 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.

• For appliances with ventilation openings in the base, carpet must not obstruct the openings.
