Important safety instructions
• Items containing foam rubber (also
known as latex foam) or similarly
textured rubber like materials should
not be dried in a tumble dryer on a
heat setting. Foam rubber materials can,
when heated, produce fire by spontaneous
combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar products
should not be used during a drying
cycle, to eliminate the effects of static
electricity unless this practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of the
fabric softener or product.
• Undergarments that contain metal
reinforcements should not be placed
in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if
metal reinforcements come loose during
drying. When available a drying rack could
be used for such items.

or babies waterproof napkin covers
should not be placed in a tumble
dryer.

with foam rubber pads, pillows,
rubber boots and rubber-coated
tennis shoes should not be placed in
a tumble dryer.

used if industrial chemicals have
been used for cleaning.

the tumble dryer.
• Items that have been soiled with
substances such as cooking oil,
acetone, alcohol, petrol,
kerosene, spot removers,
turpentine, waxes and wax
removers should 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 should not be
dried in the tumble dryer.
• Fabric softeners, or similar
products, should be used as
specified by the fabric softener
instructions.
• Remove all objects from pockets
such as lighters and matches.
• WARNING: Never 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 dissipated.
