Only commonsense really.What it really means is
Hand wash only so you can see if any cracks have appeared
Drip dry--No violent bouncing up and down as this will delaminate the C F.
No chemicals to be used in washing as this will wash off the paint finish
No falling off the bike at speed in the rain
The use of an iron or other heat source will melt the plastic the frame is made off
And although it may look as good as a slice of PIE on a ride- do not be tempted as strength will deteriorate with holes in the down tube.
At long last someone has highlighted the Downfalls of these "Cheap" Chinese frames
