Always close the door after use.
This way you will avoid the danger
of:
–
anyone sitting or leaning on the door,
which can cause the machine to tip
up,
–
children climbing onto or into the
dryer or hiding things in it.
There is danger of fire with fabrics
which:
–
contain a large proportion of rubber,
foam rubber or rubber like materials.
– have been treated with inflammable
cleaning agents.
– have been splashed with hair lac-
quer, hair spray, nail varnish remover
or similar substances.
– which contain padding or fillings
(e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were
damaged the filling could leak with
the risk of igniting in the dryer.
–
are soiled with oil or grease.
In areas which may be subject to
infestation by cockroaches or other
vermin, pay particular attention to keep
-
ing the appliance and its surroundings
in a clean condition at all times. Any
damage which may be caused by
cockroaches or other vermin will not be
covered by the appliance guarantee.
To minimize the risk of fire in a
tumble dryer, the following
should be observed:
–
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 ignite sponta
-
neously, 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 be
-
come hot enough to catch fire.
Pilling, stacking or storing oil-af-
fected items can prevent heat from
escaping and so create a fire haz-
ard.
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.
The "cool down" cycle of tumble dry
-
ers should be used to reduce the
temperature of the items. They
should not be removed from the tum
-
ble dryer or piled or stacked while
hot.
