How to wash correctly
Brief guide
The headings numbered (1,2,3,...)
show the operating sequence and can
be used as a brief guide.
Before washing
1 Prepare the wash load.
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause dam-
age to textiles and components in
the machine.
Sort the laundry
Most garments have a textile care label
in the collar or side seam. Sort the
washing by care label symbols. (See
“Programmes - Care symbols” for their
explanation).
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately sev-
eral times before being included in a
mixed load.
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-
arately in a delicates programme (use
a washing bag where appropriate).
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the manufac-
turer as non-machine washable on
the care label. (h symbol)
Pre-treat the laundry
Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and
cuffs, and water soluble stains can be
pre-treated with bar soap, liquid deter-
gent or detergent mixed into a solution
or paste.
With particularly stubborn stains ask
your dry cleaner for advice. Do not
used solvent-based cleaning agents in
this machine.
– Curtains:
Remove lead weights and strips or
place in a laundry bag.
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners:
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
– Knitted garments, trousers and
jeans, T-shirts and sweat shirts:
Turn inside out, if recommended by
the manufacturer.
