Warnings
To minimise 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 with vegetable or
cooking oils, this constitutes a fire hazard.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously,
especially when exposed to heat sources
such as a tumble dryer. The items become
warm, causing an oxidisation reaction with
the oil, Oxidisation creates heat. If the heat
cannot escape, items can become hot
enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or
storing oil-effected items can prevent heat
from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics containing
vegetable or cooking oil or those that have
been contaminated with hair care products
be placed in a tumble dryer they should
first be washed with extra detergent - this
will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.
They should not be removed from the dryer
and 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,
dry cleaning solvents or other flammable
! 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.
or explosive substances. Highly flammable
substances commonly used in domestic
environments including cooking oil,
acetone, denatured alcohol, kerosene,
spot removers, turpentine, waxes and
wax removers. Ensure these items have
been washed in hot water with an extra
amount of detergent before being dried
in the tumble dryer.
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 softener or similar products
●
should not be used in a tumble dryer to
eliminate the effects of static electricity
unless the practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of
the fabric softener product.
Do not tumble dry undergarments that
●
contain metal reinforcements eg. 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 water
proof covers, polythene or paper.
Do not tumble dry rubber backed
●
articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber
pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber
coated tennis shoes.
Remove all objects from pockets, such
●
as lighters and matches.
