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

Some examples of soiling levels can be found on ~ Page 13.

–Light: Do not prewash, select the Speed setting if necessary

–Normal

–Heavy: Load less laundry, select a program 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 program. Stubborn or dried-in stains can sometimes only be removed by washing several times.

■Symbols on the care labels

Note: The numbers in the symbols indicate the maximum washing temperature that may be used.

M Suitable for normal washing process;

e.g. Cottons program

N A gentle washing process is required;

e.g. Easy-Care program

O An especially gentle washing process is required; e.g. Delicate/Silk program

W Suitable for washing by hand; e.g. WWool program

Ž Do not machine wash.
