To minimize the risk of fire in your tumble dryer, the following should be observed
•Tumble dry items only if they have been washed with detergent and water, rinsed, and been through the spin cycle. It is a fire hazard to dry items that HAVE NOT been washed with water.
•Do not dry garments that have been treated with chemical products
•Do not tumble dry items that have been spotted or soaked vegetable or cooking oil this constitute a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or co oil or have been contaminated by hair care products be pl in a tumble dryer they should first be washed with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate, the hazard. cool tumble phase should be used to reduce to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed fro dryer or piled or stacked while hot
•Do not tumble dry items that have previously been cleaned in or washed in, soaked in or soiled with petrol/gasoline,
•Do not tumble dry items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber like materials. 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 the practice is specifically recommend by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
•Do not tumble dry undergarments that contain metal reinforcements e.g. bras with metal reinforcing wires. Damage to the tumble dryer can result if the metal reinforcements come loose during drying.
•Do not tumble dry rubber, plastic articles such as shower caps or babies’ waterproof covers, polythene, or paper
•Do not tumble dry
•Remove all objects from pockets, especially lighters (risk of explosion)
!WARNING: Never stop the dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
Save energy and respect the environment
•Wring out all items to eliminate excess water before tumble drying (if you use a washing machine first, select a high spin cycle). Doing this will save time and energy during drying.
•Always dry full loads - you save energy: single items or small loads take longer to dry
•Clean the filter after each use to contain energy consumption costs (see Maintenance).
