Only tumble dry items which have
been washed in water or require air-
ing.
●Plastic detergent dispensers should
not remain in the drum during the

If you wish to wash-through-to-dry
you should use the conventional
detergent dispenser drawer.

products should not be machine
washed. If volatile cleaning fluids are
used, care should be taken to
ensure that the fluid is removed from
