1.1.2 Product safety
Points to be taken into consideration for fire hazard:
Below specified laundry or items must not be dried
in the dryer considering fire hazard.
• Unwashed laundry items
• Items soiled with oil, acetone, alcohol, fuel oil, kerosene, stain
removers, turpentine, paraffin or paraffin removers must be
washed in hot water with plenty of detergent before being dried
in the dryer.
For this reason especially the items containing the above specified
stains must be washed very well, to do this use adequate
detergent and choose a high washing temperature.
Below specified laundry or items must not be dried in the
dryer due to the fire hazard:
• Garments or pillows bolstered with rubber foam (latex foam),
shower bonnets, water resistant textiles, materials with rubber
reinforcement and rubber foam pads.
• Clothing cleaned with industrial chemicals.
Items such as lighter, match, coins, metal parts, needle etc.
may damage the drum set or may lead to functional problems.
Therefore check all the laundry that you will load into your dryer.
Never stop your dryer before the programme completes. If you
must do this, remove all laundry quickly and lay them out to
dissipate the heat.
Clothes that are washed inadequately may ignite on their own and
even may ignite after drying ends.
• You must provide enough ventilation in order to prevent gases exiting
from devices operating with other types of fuels including the naked flame
from accumulating in the room due to the back fire effect.
