IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
11
Only use dyes, dye removers, and descaling agents suitable for
use in a washing machine. The manufacturer’s instructions on the
packaging must be observed.
Color run and dye removers contain sulphur compounds which
can cause damage such as corrosion. Use these products only if the
manufacturer expressly states that they are suitable for use in a
washing machine.
Check the wash result of laundry soiled with biological oils or
greases. Inadequately washed laundry can cause spontaneous com-
bustion during the drying process. Use special detergents or wash
programs for this kind of laundry.
Do not use a power washer or hose to clean the machine.
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
hypochlorite 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 load may suffer persistent and irreparable
damage.
Anti-chlorine treatment must be carried out immediately after chlo-
rine 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.
Treatments with thiosulphates can result in gypsum-like deposits par-
ticularly when used in combination with hard water. This gypsum can
build up in the washing machine or cause incrustations on the laun-
dry. Treatment with hydrogen peroxide is recommended over treat-
ment with thiosulphates because hydrogen peroxide neutralizes chlo-
rine.
The exact dispensing quantities and the treatment temperatures re-
quired must be set and tested on site in accordance with the dis-
pensing recommendations of the detergent and cleaning agent man-
ufacturers. The laundry must also be tested to check whether it con-
tains any active chlorine residues.
Accessories
Accessory parts may only be fitted when expressly approved by
