Fire or explosion hazard! Wash materials containing such substances first by hand with water or allow the solvent to evaporate completely. • Fabrics with traces of hair spray, hair gel, nail varnish remover or other similar substances.
1 Safety precautions • 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.
1 Safety precautions 1.4 Children in the home • Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Danger of suffocation!
