Prepare the laundry
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paperclips, needles, nails) may damage the laundry or components in the washing machine.
You should therefore note the following tips when preparing your laundry:
■Empty any pockets.
■Look out for metal items (paperclips, etc.) and remove them.
■Wash delicates in a laundry bag (tights, underwired bras, etc.).
■Close any zips; button up any cover buttons.
■Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
■Remove curtain fittings or place curtains in a laundry 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 can discolour or not be cleaned correctly. 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.
Laundry en
Examples of levels of soiling:
–Light: Do not prewash; if necessary, select the additional programme setting (
SpeedPerfect
–Normal
–Heavy: Load less laundry, select a programme with prewash
–Stains: Remove/pretreat stains while they are fresh. Firstly, 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.
■Symbols on the care labels:
The numbers in the symbols indicate the maximum washing temperature that may be used.
–M: Suitable for a normal washing process; e.g. the Cottons programme.
–U : A gentle washing process is required; e.g. the Easy-Care programme.
–V : An especially gentle washing process is required; e.g. the Delicates/Silk programme
–W : Suitable for washing by hand; e.g. the W / Wool programme.
–Ž: Do not wash the laundry in the machine.
Starching
Note: Laundry should not be treated with fabric softener.
Starching is possible in all wash programmes if liquid starch is used. Measure starch into compartment M in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions (clean first if necessary).
