FIRE HAZARDS
Some fabrics are not suitable for tumble drying. The following

spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources
such as in a tumble dryer. The items become warm,
causing an oxidation reaction in theoil. Oxidation creates
heat. If heat cannot escape, the items can become hot
enough to ignite. 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. The ‘cool
down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce
the temperature of the items. They should not be
removed from the tumble dryeror piled while hot.

LINT BUILD-UP IS A FIRE HAZARD
A clean lint filter reduces drying times, saves energy and
avoids overheating. Overheating may also damage your
clothes.

Overloading can increase lint build-up because the
airflow is reduced.
To avoid potential fire hazards, we recommend that you
pay a qualified service technician to periodically clean
your dryer. You must do this also when you change your
mounting from upright toinverted, or vice versa.

Fibre or leather materials
- always check the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Baby clothes and night gowns
- acrylic clothing or
sleepwear use only onthe ‘warm’ setting.

Rubber and plastics
- Do not dry any items made from
or containing rubber or plastics, such as aprons, bibs,
babies’ waterproof napkins, curtains, tablecloths,
shower caps, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads,
pillows, galoshes, or rubbercoated tennis shoes.

turn down the timer to ‘Airing’ for at least one minute before
opening the door. This is to prevent scorching or possible self
combustion of the fabric.
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a
tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static electricity
unless this practice is specifically recommended by the
manufacturer of the fabric softeneror product.
Note: We strongly advise against the use of fabric
conditioners of the sheet type that are added to the
clothes in the drum. These products may lead to rapid
blockage of the lint filter and inefficient operation of your
dryer.
