Prepare the laundry
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper-clips,
needles, nails) may damage the laundry
or components in the washing machine.
Therefore, note the following tips when
preparing your laundry:

(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.

■ Soiling
Wash laundry with the same level of
soiling together.
Some examples of levels of soiling:
– light: Do not prewash; if
necessary, select the additional
