GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
CAUTION
ITEMS BELOW ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR DRYING. IT CAN CAUSE FIRE IN
THE APPLIANCE OR EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. DO NOT PLACE FOLLOWING
IN THE APPLIANCE
• Items containing rubber or foam like rubber or any other similar
textured materials.
• Items that are spotted or soaked with cooking oil or any other flammable items.
These other items include kerosene, stain removers, dry-cleaning solvents,
alcohol, petrol, turpentine, waxes, hair care products, wax removers.
• Washing the items vigoursly beforehand in hot water with extra detergent will
reduce, but not completely eliminate the hazard.
• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements (such as underwire bras).
Plastic articles such shower caps and waterproof bibs.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and
rubber coated tennis shoes.
• Fabric softeners or similar products unless recommended by product
manufacturer for use in a clothes dryer.
• WARNING: Never stop a dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items
are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
CAUTION
• Do not use the tumble dryer if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
• Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
• Do not allow lint to accumulate around the tumble dryer. Clean the Lint Trap and
Filter after every use.
• Enough ventilation has to be provided to avoid the backflow of gases into the
room from appliances burning other fuels including open fires.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
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.
This symbol alerts you to take care as oil-aected items can ignite,
especially when exposed to heat, such as in a clothes dryer. The items
become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation causes
heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to
catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-aected items can prevent heat
from escaping and so it will create a fire hazard.
