Preparing the laundry
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper clips,
needles, nails) may damage the laundry
or components in the washing machine.
Therefore, note the following tips when
preparing your laundry:
■ Empty any pockets.
■ Check for metal items (paper clips,
etc.) and remove them.
■ Wash delicates in a laundry bag
(tights, underwired bras, etc.).
■ Remove curtain fittings or place
curtains in a laundry bag.
■ Close any zips, button up any cover
buttons.
■ Brush sand out of pockets and
collars.
Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care
instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
depending on:
■ Type of fabric/fibre
■ Colour
Note: Laundry can discolour or not
be cleaned correctly. Wash white
and coloured items separately.
Wash new coloured items separately
the first time you wash them.
■ Soiling
Wash laundry with the same level of
soiling together.
Some examples of soiling levels:
~ "Saving energy and detergent"
on page 24
– Light: Do not prewash; select the
Speed setting if necessary
– Normal
– Heavy: Load less laundry; select
a programme with prewash
– Stains: Remove/pretreat stains
while they are fresh. Firstly, dab
with soapy water; do not rub.
Then wash the items of laundry
with the appropriate programme.
Stubborn or dried-in stains can
sometimes only be removed by
washing several times.
