To minimize the risk of fire in
a tumble dryer, the following
should be observed:
• Items that have been spotted
or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil
constitute a fire hazard and should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.
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.
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
water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but
not eliminate, the hazard.
The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should
be used to reduce the temperature of
the items. They should not be removed from the
tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.
Warning : Never stop tumble dryer before the
end of the drying cycle unless all items are
quickly removed and spread out so that the heat
dissipated.
• Items that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/
gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substances should not
be placed in a tumble dryer.
Highly flammable substances commonly used
in domestic environments include acetone,
denatured alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosene,
spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes
and wax removers.
• 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 in a tumble dryer 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.
