Miele PW 5105 Vario Operating And Installation Instructions page 9

~
Textiles which have been
pre-treated in solvent based cleaning
agents must be thoroughly rinsed in
clean water before being washed in this
machine.
~
Never use solvent based cleaning
agents in this machine, as this may
result in damage to component parts
and create toxic fumes. Such agents
also pose a fire and explosion hazard.
~
Benzine, petrol, paraffin or any
easily flammable liquid must not be
stored or used near this machine. Fire
and explosion risk!
~
Only use dyes specified by the
manufacturer as being suitable for use
in a washing machine. Always observe
the manufacturer's instructions
carefully.
~
Colour run and dye removers
contain sulphur compounds which can
cause damage such as corrosion. Do
not use these products in this machine.
~
Avoid contact of stainless steel
surfaces (front, lid, casing) with liquid
cleaning and disinfecting agents which
contain chlorine or sodium
hypochlorite. These agents can have a
corrosive effect on stainless steel.
Aggressive vapours containing chlorine
bleach can also be corrosive. Do not
store open containers of these agents
near the machine.
Warning and Safety instructions
~
Do not use a pressure washer or
hose to clean the machine.
~
It is particularly important to observe
manafucturer's instructions when using
a combination of cleaning agents and
special application products. Products
must only be used for applications
approved by the manufacturer to avoid
any material damage or the occurrence
of strong chemical reactions.
Chlorine and component
damage
Notes on using chlorine bleach and
perchlorethylene
~
Frequent use of chlorine increases
the risk of component damage.
The use of agents containing chlorine,
such as sodium hypochlorite and
chlorine bleach in powder form, can
damage the protective upper surface of
stainless steel and cause corrosion to
components. Factors affecting this are
chlorine concentration levels, contact
time and temperature. It is therefore
advisable to avoid the use of such
agents. Oxygen based bleaching
agents should be used instead.
If, however, chlorine based bleaching
agents have to be used for particular
types of soiling, then anti-chlorine
measures must also be carried out. If
this is not done irreparable damage
can occur to components in the
machine and to laundry.
