14.2 Avoiding damage
▪ Follow the fabric care symbols on garment labels.
▪ The wash temperature selected should agree with the recommended temperature
range of the washing detergent to ensure the washing detergent is at its most effect-
ive.
▪ Wash white and coloured textiles separately.
▪ Empty pockets and turn inside out. Remove any foreign objects (coins, nails, paper
clips, etc.).
▪ Empty and brush out pockets of work overalls worn in the metal industry. Metal shav-
ings can damage the washing and cause rust stains.
▪ Fasten hook and eye fasteners and zips. These can damage the laundry and the
drum.
▪ Fasten cloth belts, apron ties and duvet and pillow cases to avoid them getting
tangled up.
▪ Wash smaller items (e.g. nylon tights, belts) and items with zips and hooks in a wash-
ing net or cushion cover.
▪ Remove stains before washing using a suitable stain remover.
▪ Pre-treat heavily soiled areas (collars, cuffs, etc.) with soap, special detergent or
paste.
▪ Textiles, such as dog or horse blankets, that are covered in animal hair should be
brushed out before washing.

15.1 Packaging
Never allow children to play with packaging material due to the danger of injury or
suffocation. Store the packaging material in a safe location or dispose of it in an
environmentally-friendly way.
15.2 Safety
Render the appliance unusable to prevent accidents caused by improper use (e.g.
through children playing):
▸ Disconnect the appliance from the mains. With a fixed appliance, this is to be carried
out by a qualified electrician. Then cut the mains cable off flush with the appliance.
▸ Remove or disable the lock on the appliance door.
15.3 Disposal
▪ The «crossed‐out wheeled bin» symbol requires the separate collection of waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Such equipment can contain hazardous,
environmentally harmful materials.
▪ These appliances are to be handed over to a designated collection point for the recyc-
ling of electrical and electronic equipment and must not be disposed of with unsorted
household waste. And in this way, you will be helping to protect resources and the en-
vironment.
▪ For more information, please contact the local authorities.
