•Empty the pockets and unfold the items.

•Turn inside out multilayered fabrics, wool and items with painted illustrations.

•Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks or put the curtains in a washing bag or pillowcase.

•Do not wash in the appliance :

–Laundry without hems or with cuts

–Underwired bras.

–Use a washing bag to wash small items.

•A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust manually the items in the tub and start the spin phase again.

10.2 Stubborn stains

For some stains, water and detergent is not sufficient.

We recommend that you remove these stains before you put the items in the appliance.

Special stain removers are available. Use the special stain remover that is applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
