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 laundry separately. Wash new bright fabrics separately the first time you wash them.
■Soiling
Wash laundry with the same level of soiling together.
You can find examples of levels of soiling on ~ Page 11
–Light: Do not pre-wash, select the Speed setting if necessary
–Normal
–Heavy: Load less laundry, select a programme with pre-wash
–Stains: Remove/pretreat stains while they are fresh. First, dab the stain with soapy water/do not rub. Then wash the items of laundry with the appropriate programme. Stubborn/dried-in stains can sometimes only be removed with several washes.
■Symbols on the care labels
The numbers in the symbols indicate the maximum washing temperature which may be used.
–M: Suitable for a normal washing process; e.g. Cottons programme
–U : A gentle washing process is required; e.g. Easy-Care programme
–V : An especially gentle washing process is required; e.g.
Delicate/Silk programme
–W : Suitable for washing by hand; e.g. W/ Wool programme
–Ž : Do not wash the laundry in the machine.
