• The dryer can be operated by children from the age of 8 years up, as well as

experience and knowledge, provided they are supervised or instructed

Safe operation/minimizing the risk of a fire
• Do not tumble dry laundry containing oil, to prevent a fire. Oil-bearing items
can ignite spontaneously, especially when they are exposed to heat sources
as in a tumble dryer. The items would become warm, causing an oxidation
reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat; if the heat cannot escape, the item
can become hot enough to catch fire.
• Do not tumble dry unwashed laundry in the tumble dryer.
• Laundry items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, alcohol, benzene, petroleum, kerosene, stain removers, turpentine,
wax or wax removers must be washed in hot water, with an extra amount of
detergent, before being dried in the tumble dryer.
• Items such as foam rubber (latex foam), shower caps, waterproof textiles,
rubber backed articles and clothes or pillows fitted with foam rubber pads
must not be dried in the tumble dryer.
• Remove all objects from pockets such as lighters and matches.
