– Fasten zips, do up any buttons.
– Brush sand out of pockets an d collars.
– Remove curtain fittings or place in the laundry bag.
Load laundry
– For optimum spin behaviour, load larg e and small items of laundry together.
– Individual items may lead to con siderable imbalances.
– Take care not to trap items of laundr y between the washing machine door and the rubber seal.
Soaking Load laundry of the same colour.

Down Laundry must not be treated with fabric softener .
Only wash down-filled clothing, not feather cushions or bedding. Wash large items separately. Be sparing with washing
detergent. Dry laundry in the tumble dryer afterwards to prevent the down from clumping.
Load display
The load sensor detects how heavily the washing ma chine is loaded. The laundry is not weighed.
Recommended dosage
Based on the selected programme and the detec ted load, the recommended dosage function provides a recommen-
dation for the detergent dosage in %. The % figure refers to the recommendation of the detergent manufacturer.
Load adjust
Independently of the load display, the automatic load sensin g function uses additional sensors to adapt the water and
power consumption ideally to each programme, depending on the type of fabric and the load.
