Usage conditions and restrictionsThis appliance is intended for indoor household use only. It is not intended for industrial. commercial or trade use. Do not use it outdoors. Do not use it for anything other than its intended purpose (drying domestic quantities of washing) and only use it as described in this manual.
Unsuitable Items:The items listed below are unsuitable for tumble drying. They can cause fire in the clothes dryer or extensive damage. Do not place the following items into the clothes dryer.
- Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly textured rubber-like materials – when heated, these materials can spontaneously combust and cause a fire.
- Items that have been spotted or soaked with cooking oil or with highly flammable substances – these substances constitute a fire hazard. Highly flammable substances used in domestic environments include acetone, alcohol, petrol, kerosene, some stain removers, dry-cleaning solvents, turpentine, waxes, wax removers, and some hair care products. (This also includes items that have previously been cleaned or spotted with dry-cleaning solvents or other flammable or explosive substances.)
- Washing these items thoroughly beforehand in hot water with an extra amount of detergent will reduce, but not necessarily eliminate the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of o clothes dryer should be used to reduce the temperature of the items. They should not be removed from the clothes dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
- Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements (such as underwire bras) – these parts can come loose during drying and damage the clothes dryer.
- Plastic articles such as shower caps or waterproof baby bibs.
- Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam rubber pads, pillows, galoshes, and rubber-coated tennis shoes.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, 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 become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking, or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard. - Do not dry unwashed items in the tumble dryer.
- This dryer is not to be used if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning.
