Safety introductions for use
• 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. Warning to avoid a
re. Do not wash clothes or items that have any contaminants of ammable solvents
or substances. Do not clean the product or expose it to ammable substances.
Oil-affected 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 re. Piling, stacking 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
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 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 not be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly ammable substances
commonly used in domestic 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
rubberlike 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 during a drying
cycle, to eliminate the effects of static electricity unless this practice is specically
recommended by the 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, rubber
boots and rubber-coated tennis shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
To minimize the risk of re within the inner bowl, the following should be observed:
