Usage Precautions - Hitachi BD-S5500 Operating Instructions Manual

Usage Precautions

Do not disconnect the power plug during
operation.
Doing so may result in malfunction. Pause
the operation or turn the power off before
disconnecting the power plug.
Do not use the machine near televisions or
radios.
Doing so may result in interference in the
television screen and television and radio
noise.
Do not overload the machine with laundry.
Overflowing laundry may result in damage to
the laundry, door bellows, and plastic parts.
Doing so may prolong washing time or
produce uneven washing and drying results.
When washing larger loads, separate
underwear, handkerchiefs, and smaller
items into a mesh laundry bag.
Smaller items may collect near the door
bellows during operation, resulting in
insufficient washing and drying.
We recommend using the optional washing
cap (MO-F103). (P. 104)
Do not use the washing cap in the
[SOFT] and [TUB CLEAN] programs and
the <<WASH DRY>>, <<DRY>>, and
<STEAM IRON> operations.
Mesh laundry
bag
Do not overfill mesh laundry bags.
Full bags may cause increased noise and
vibration.
Full bags may not dry sufficiently in the spin
cycle.
Put only lightweight items in the bag (e.g.,
lingerie and small items).
Washing cap
Do not use washing accessories.
Accessories such as washing balls and filters
may warp and be damaged by heat, which
may result in damage to the laundry and
malfunction of the machine.
Ensure sufficient ventilation during drying
operations.
Doing so ensures efficient drying of the
laundry.
Insufficient ventilation during winter or low
room temperatures may result in condensation
on windows and walls.
