If you have fabrics containing vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair
care products, and you cannot avoid putting them in a tumble dryer, make sure you wash
them with extra detergent. This will help reduce potential hazards, although it will not
completely eliminate them.
When using this tumble dryer, use the ‘cool down’ cycle to lower the temperature of items
inside. Do not remove the items from the dryer or pile them up while they are still hot.
If items have been exposed to petrol, gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances, do not put them in this tumble dryer.
Be aware that certain highly flammable substances are commonly used in domestic
environments. These include acetone, denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene, some
brands of spot removers, turpentine, waxes and wax removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) and other rubber-like materials
should not be dried in a tumble dryer in a heat setting.
When heated, foam rubber materials can spontaneously combust, which is a fire risk.
• Avoid using fabric softeners or similar products in a tumble dryer to eliminate static
electricity, unless the fabric softener manufacturer specifically recommends it for this
purpose.
• Do not put undergarments that have metal reinforcements in a tumble dryer.
Items with metal reinforcements can cause damage if the metal comes loose during the
drying process. If possible, use a drying rack for such items to avoid damage.
• Avoid putting shower caps, baby waterproof napkin covers or other plastic articles in this
tumble dryer.
• Do not place rubber-backed articles, clothes with foam rubber pads, pillows, goloshes or
rubber-coated tennis shoes in the tumble dryer.
