Preparing the Laundry
Sort the laundry before washing according to the
type, quality, and color and soil degree of the
laundry.
Type of Fabrics
Most clothes nowadays have labels describing
the type of fabric they are made of, the kind of
recommended wash, and the recommended
washing temperature.
These labels will help you choose the most
suitable washing program for your clothes.
Put delicate laundry (stockings, fine underwear...)
into a sack or into a pillow case if washed
together with other laundry.
Color Fastness
Pay special attention to color fastness, and
always choose the correct washing temperature.
When washing new clothes, always check color
fastness first - wash separately the first time.
Degree of Soil
Stained and heavily soiled laundry should be
washed in small loads or with a larger amount of
washing powder.
Heavily stained or soiled areas on the fabric can
be treated before washing using special agents.
Use the energy-saving program for lightly soiled
laundry (no pre-wash, economic program, lower
washing temperature).
Loading
The maximum load of dry laundry is stated in the
Table of Washing Programs (Page 14).
Overloading the machine will cause clothing to
crease and minimize washing efficiency.
Always check the pockets before loading the
laundry. Remove keys, coins, hair-pins and
similar objects that may clog the water outlet
hose.
Zip the zippers and remove metal pins that may
damage the laundry or even the drum (fig. 11).
Folded clothes should be loosened before
loading.
The best washing effect is obtained by mixing
larger and smaller items of laundry in one
load.
