1. Prepare the laundry
27
Empty all pock
ets.
F
oreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause damage
to garments and to components in
the machine.
Sort the laundry
Sor
t the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a tex‐
tile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Tip: Dark t
extiles often contain excess
dye and should be washed separately
several times before being included in a
mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
Pre-treat stains
Badly soil
ed areas, stains etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible, pref‐
erably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.
Tip: Badly soil
ed areas can be pre-trea‐
ted with liquid detergent, stain remov‐
ers etc. first, following the manufactur‐
er's instructions. With particularly stub‐
born stains ask your dry cleaner for ad‐
vice.
If you use a solvent-based
cleaning agent (e.g. one containing
benzi
ne) to pre-treat a stain, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g. but‐
tons) are protected, and that the
cleaning agent is rinsed off before
washing the garment in the machine.
Do not use solvent-based clean‐
ing agents in or on this machine.
General tips
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in
a laundry bag.
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any
loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiff‐
eners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
– Close any zips, attach velcro fasten‐
ers, fast
en hooks and eyes etc. be‐
fore washing.
– Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases
etc. t
o prevent small items from being
rolled up inside them.
Do not wash any items in this washing
machi
ne which are specified by the
manufacturer as not washable on the
care label ( symbol).
