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 may discolour. 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.
Some examples of soiling levels can
be found on
