Preparing the laundry
Notice: Damage to the appliance/fabric
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper-clips, needles, nails)
may damage the laundry or components in the
appliance.
Therefore, note the following tips when preparing
your laundry:
Remove any loose
items or metal objects,
such as safety pins,
paper clips, etc. from
the laundry.
Brush sand, coins, etc. out of pocket and cuffs.
Close zips and button
up cushion covers,
duvet covers, etc.
Remove curtain runners, or secure them in a net
bag.
Particularly delicate items; such as tights or lace
curtains, or smaller
items, such as tiny
socks or
handkerchiefs, should
only be washed in a
net bag or pillow case.
Some items are best
turned inside out.
These included
knitwear, trousers, T-
shirts and sweatshirts.
Make sure that the wire-cup bras are machine
washable.
Make sure that wire-cup bras in a pillow case
which can be securely closed with a zip or button.
If the wire works itself out of the cup it may fall
through the holes of the drum and cause
extensive damage.
Preparing the laundry for drying
Only tumble-dry textiles which have been washed,
rinsed and spun.
Remove as much water as possible from the
laundry. Do not press the SPEED button for
reducing the spin speed.
In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items
according to fabric type and degree of drying
required.
Items which require ironing do not have to be
ironed immediately after being tumble-dried. It is
a good idea to fold or roll them together for a
while, so that any remaining moisture is evenly
distributed.
When washing laundry to be tumble-dried, use
the correct amount of detergent and textile care
products as specified in the manufacturer’s
instructions.
The following textiles should not be tumble-dried:
Laundry marked with the care symbol:
= Do not tumble-dry
Woolens or items containing wool. Risk of
shrinking!
Delicate fabric (silk, synthetic net curtains). Risk of
creasing!
Items containing foam rubber or similar material.
Items which have been treated with inflammable
solvents, such as stain removes, petrol, paint
thinners. Explosion hazard!
Items still containing hair lacquer or similar
substances. Dangerous vapors!
Dripping-wet laundry. Waste of energy!
