WARNING!
• Risk of fire! To prevent from
the risk of self combustion
do not stop a tumble dryer
before the end of the drying
cycle unless all items are
quickly removed and spread
out so that the heat is dissi-
pated.
• Lint must not be allowed to
accumulate around the tum-
ble dryer.
• Risk of electric shock! Do not spray
down the appliance with jets of water.
• The final part of a tumble dryer cycle
occurs without heat ( cool down cycle )
to ensure that the items are left at a
temperature that ensures that items
will not be damaged.
• The tumble dryer is not to be used if
industrial chemicals have been used
for cleaning.
• Ensure you have good ventilation in
the installation room to avoid the back
flow of gases into the room from ap-
pliances burning other fuels, including
open fires.
• 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 es-
cape, the items can become hot
enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking
or storing oil-affected items can pre-
vent heat from escaping and so create
a fire hazard.
• 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 wa-
ter with extra detergent - this will re-
duce, but not eliminate, the hazard.
