SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
• Read the operating instructions and keep them in a
safe place.

technicians.
• The machine should only be used for washing items
as described in these instructions. It is not intended for
dry cleaning.

• Do not use colourants (dyes) or bleaching substances
(substances for discolouration or removal of
