Warning and Safety instructions

Only use dyes specified by the manufacturer as being suitable for
use in a domestic 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.
Always make sure the drum is stationary before reaching in to
remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous.
There is a danger of fire during drying with fabrics which:
–contain rubber, foam rubber or rubber like materials
–have been treated with inflammable cleaning agents
–have been splashed with hair lacquer, hair spray, nail varnish remover or similar substances
–which contain padding or fillings (e.g. pillows, jackets). If these were damaged, the filling could get out with the risk of igniting in the dryer.
Make sure that any dispensing balls etc. are removed from laundry
before the drying programme. These dispensers can melt during the drying programme and cause damage to the machine and the laundry. Do not use liquid dispenser balls or similar if you are planning to wash and then dry in one continuous sequence.

If other parts are used, guarantee, performance and product liability claims will be invalidated.
