GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
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.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles, rubber
backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads should not be dried
in the tumble dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar products, should be used as specified by the fabric
softener instructions.
• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down cycle) to ensure
that the items are left at a temperature that ensures that the items will not be damaged.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
• Oil-aected 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 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 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.
WARNING: Never stop a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all
items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
