SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL
• Keep the operating instructions in a
safe place.
• The machine should only be used for
washing items as described in these
instructions. It is not intended for dry
cleaning.
• Use only detergent intended for
machine washing!
• Do not use detergents that contain
solvents as this could lead to release
of poisonous gases, damage to
the machine, and risk of fi re and
explosion.
• Do not use colourants (dyes) or
bleaching substances (substances
for discolouration or removal of
colourants) as they contain sulphuric
compounds that could cause
corrosion.
• Excessive use of products containing
chlorine compounds increases the
risk or premature failure of appliance
components. This depends on the
concentration of chlorine, exposure
time, and temperature.
• Bleaches that contain chlorine can
be replaced with oxygen-based
bleaches. Otherwise, a neutralization
cycle should be performed by running
the Cotton program at the highest
temperature. For best results, use
hydrogen peroxide or oxygen-based
detergents.
