To minimize the risk of fire in a tumble dryer, the following should b observed
CAUTION
Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fire 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 fire. Piling,
stackin or storing oil-affected 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 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 flammable or explosive substances should no be placed in a tumble dryer. Highly
flammable 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 fire 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 specifically 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.
