To minimize the risk of re in a tumble dryer, the following should b
observed
CAUTION
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a
re hazard and should not be placed in a tumble dryer. Oil-affected items can ignit
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 heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch re. Piling, stackin
or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a re 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 rst b
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 dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other ammable or explosive substances should no
be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly ammable substances commonly used in domesti
environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, 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 tumble dryer on a heat setting. Foam rubber materials
can, when heated, produce re by spontaneous combustion
Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used in a tumble dryer to eliminate
the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specically recommended by th
manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
When available a drying rack could be used for such items.
Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof napkin covers should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.
Rubber-backed articles, clothes tted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes an rubber-
coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer(or washing machine drying mode,etc).
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, petrol,
Kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers should be washed in hot
water with an extra amount of detergent before being dried in the tumble dryer.
