Never use solvent based cleaning agents, e.g. those containing
benzine in this machine. Doing so may result in damage to compon-
ent parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion!
Benzine, petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not be
stored or used near the machine. Do not use the machine lid as stor-
age space.
Risk of fire and explosion!
Do not store chemicals (liquid detergents, additives) on the ma-
chine lid. They may cause discolouration or lacquer damage. Acci-
dently spilled chemicals should be removed immediately with a wet
cloth from the surface.
There is a fan outlet on the back of the machine. Under no circum-
stances must this be blocked. Please observe the minimum distance
on the installation diagram.
Only use dyes, dye removers and descalers suitable for use in a
washing machine. The manufacturer's instructions on the packaging
must be observed.
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 with liquid cleaning and
disinfecting agents which contain chlorine or sodium hypochlorite.
These agents can have a corrosive effect on stainless steel. Aggress-
ive vapours containing chlorine bleach can also be corrosive. Do not
store open containers of these agents near the machine.
Do not use a pressure washer or hose to clean the washing ma-
chine.
Chlorine and component damage
Frequent use of chlorine products increases the risk of damage to
components.
The use of substances containing chlorine, such as sodium hypo-
chlorite and chlorine bleach in powder form, can however result in
damage of the protective layer of stainless steel and corrosion on
components. Therefore, refrain from using substances containing
chlorine. Use oxygen-based bleaching agents instead.
If, however, chlorine bleaching agents are used, an anti-chlorine treat-
ment must always be carried out. Otherwise, both the washing ma-
chine components and the laundry may suffer persistent and irrepar-
able damage.
Anti-chlorine treatment must be carried out immediately after
chlorine bleaching agents have been used. Hydrogen peroxide as
well as oxygen-based detergents and bleaching agents are suitable
for anti-chlorine treatment. The suds must not be drained in between.
