Checking the Clothes before
Loading
• Combine large and small items in a load. Load
large items first. Large items should not be
more than half of total load.
• Do not wash single small items. Add 1-2 similar
items to the load to prevent an out-of-balance
load.
• Make sure to empty all pockets. Items such as
nails, hair clips, matches, pens, coins and keys
can damage both your appliance and clothes.

• Wash delicates (stockings, underwired bras) in
a wash net.
• Close zippers, hooks and strings to make sure
that these items do not snag other clothes.
• Pre-treat dirt and stains by saturating the
dirt and stains with dissolved detergent and
brushing them in order to remove dirt.
• Check the folds of the flexible gasket (gray) and
remove any small items.
CAUTION
• Check if the laundry gets stuck between the
door and the seal, otherwise the laundry may
get damaged while washing.
• Remove items from the flexible gasket to
prevent clothing and door seal damage.
