Preparing laundry for washing
Protecting your laundry and appliance
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/textiles
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper clips,
needles, nails) may damage the
washing or components of the
appliance.
The following instructions must be
observed when preparing your laundry:
■ Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions when dosing
all detergents, cleaning aids, care
products and cleaning agents.
■ Do not exceed maximum load.
Overfilling will impair the washing
result.
■ Keep detergents and agents for the
pretreatment of laundry (e.g. stain
remover, prewash sprays, etc.) away
from the surfaces of the appliance.
Using a damp cloth, immediately
remove any fine spray residue and
other residue or droplets.
■ Empty any pockets. Remove any
foreign objects.
■ Remove metal parts (paper clips,
etc.).
■ Trousers, knitwear and knitted
textiles, e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts
or sweatshirts, should be turned
inside out.
■ Ensure that underwired bras are
appliance-washable.
■ Wash delicates in a net or bag
(tights, underwired bras, etc).
■ Close zips, button up covers.
■ Brush sand out of pockets and
collars.
■ Remove curtain fittings or place in a
net/bag.
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 may discolour. 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 can
be found in the chapter
– Light: Do not need to pretreat,
adjust the Speed setting if
necessary.
– Normal
– Heavy: Load less laundry, need
to pretreat or soak laundry firstly.
– Stains: Remove/pretreat stains
while they are fresh. First 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.
