Important Safety Instructions
■
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable oil, cooking oil or have been contaminated
by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer, wash them first in hot water with extra
detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate the fire hazard. Use the Air Dry cycle of the dryer
to reduce the temperature of these items. Do not remove them from the tumble dryer or pile or
stack them while they are still hot. Indeed all clothes should go through the cool down/airing
phase of the cycle. If for any reason the dryer is stopped before the cycle has finished, remove
dry clothes immediately. Do not leave them in the dryer. Spread them out to cool. Do not leave
them bunched up, e.g. in a clothes basket.
■
Do not use fabric softeners or similar products in a tumble dryer to eliminate the effects of static
electricity, unless this practice is specifically recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
■
Never dry in the dryer any plastic items such as shower caps, or plastic lined tablecloths or
babies’ bibs or waterproof nappy covers. If these items must be dried, use only the Air Dry cycle.
■
Never use heat to dry in the dryer rubber items (also known as latex foam) such as rubber-
backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, or shoes containing rubber.
Only dry using the Air Dry cycle. Foam rubber material can when heated produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire from lint build-up:
■
Empty the lint bucket before the lint reaches the top of the transparent section, (usually once a
week if the dryer is used every day).
■
Keep the area around and underneath your dryer free from the accumulation of combustible
materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals etc.
■
Do not store any items that may burn or melt (such as paper, materials, plastics or plastic
containers etc.) next to the dryer.
■
At regular intervals have the interior of the dryer and exhaust duct cleaned of any accumulated
lint. This must be done by a qualified person for electrical safety.
Note:
Besides being a fire hazard, accumulated lint in the dryer also reduces the efficiency of the dryer
by causing longer drying times and increased power consumption. Ensure the Lint bucket is not
overflowing.
