Placing laundry into the drum

:Warning

Danger of death!

Items of laundry pretreated with cleaning agents that contain solvents, e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent, may cause an explosion after being loaded into the washing machine. Hand-rinse items of laundry thoroughly beforehand.

Notes

■ Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.

Laundry items of different sizes distribute themselves better during the spin cycle. Individual items of laundry may lead to imbalances.

■ Observe the specified maximum

load. Overfilling has a negative impact on the washing result and promotes creasing.

1. Place presorted items of laundry

unfolded in the washing drum.

2. Make sure that no items of laundry

are trapped between the washing machine door and the rubber seal, and close the door.

The Start button indicator lamp flashes and the programme settings continue to be displayed on the display panel one after another. It is possible to change the settings.
