## Summary

Singapore’s Consumer Product Safety Office has advised owners of Elba EBD 602S tumble dryers to stop using them if possible, after six fires involving the model were reported in five months. The warning matters because the appliance may carry a higher fire risk, although investigators have not yet established what caused the incidents.

The model is no longer sold in Singapore shops, but the advisory covers every EBD 602S unit still in use. The safety office recommends close monitoring whenever the dryer is running and says it should not be left unattended; owners should check the product label to confirm the model and follow the user manual. Further updates are expected after the investigation concludes.
