Damage due to solvent-based cleaning agents. Cleaning agents
containing benzine, stain remover, etc., can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make sure that any plastic parts (e.g.
buttons) do not come into contact with cleaning agent.

solvent-based cleaning agents are used, an explosive mixture can
form. Never use solvent-based cleaning agents in the washing
machine.
