■Colour
■Soiling
–light

–normal
Select programme with prewash. If required, pretreat stains.
–heavy
Load less laundry. Select programme with prewash. If required, pretreat stains.
–Stains: Remove/pretreat stains while they are fresh. Firstly, dab with a soap water; do not rub.
Then select the appropriate programme and wash the items. Stubborn or dried-in stains can sometimes only be removed by washing several times.

OAn especially gentle washing process is required; e.g. Delicates/Silk programme
WSuitable for washing by hand; e.g. WWool program
ŽDo not machine wash.
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper clips, needles, nails) may damage the laundry or components of the washer dryer.
The following instructions must be observed when preparing your laundry:
■Always follow the manufacturer's instructions when dosing
all detergents, cleaning aids, care products and cleaning agents.
■Do not exceed maximum load. Overfilling will impair the washing result.
■Keep detergents and agents for the pretreatment of laundry (e.g. stain remover, prewash sprays, etc.) away from the surfaces of the washer dryer. Using a damp cloth, immediately remove any fine spray residue and other residue or droplets.
■Empty any pockets. Remove any foreign objects.
■Remove metal parts (paper clips, etc.).
■Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts, should be turned inside out.
12
■Ensure that underwired bras are machine-washable.
■Wash delicates in a net or bag (tights, underwired bras, etc).
■Close zips, button up covers.
■Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
■Remove curtain fittings or include in the net/bag.
■Type of fabric
■Drying programme
■Care symbols which are indicated on the care labels.
Only dry laundry which is labelled “dryer-proof” or which has the following care symbols:
■a = Dry at normal temperature (Intensive Dry 5 )
■` = Dry at low temperature
(Gentle Dry ‰ )
The following textiles must not be dried:
■b = care symbol “Do not dry”
■Wool or textiles containing wool.
■Delicates (silk, synthetic curtains).
■Textiles which contain foam rubber or similar materials.
■Textiles which were treated with flammable liquids, e.g. with stain remover, petroleum ether, thinners. Risk of explosion!
■Textiles which still contain hairspray or similar substances.
Laundry en
■Before drying, hand-washed textiles must be spun at the appropriate spin speed.
■Before drying, spin at the optimum speed. A spin speed of more than 1000 rpm is recommended for cotton, more than 800 rpm for easycare textiles.
■Do not iron laundry immediately after drying. It is recommended to roll the laundry up first to distribute residual moisture evenly.
■To ensure a good drying performance, quilts, terry cloths and other large textiles should be dried separately. Do not dry more than 5 terry cloths (or 4 kg).
■Do not exceed the maximum load.
13
