OPERATION
Preparation of the garments
Fig. 6
Caution!
• Do not wash fabrics that are not suitable for machine wash. Observe the instructions on the care label
of the laundry.
• Hard or pointed foreign objects (eg. nails, coins) can damage laundry and components.
• Never wash laundry soaked with gasoline, thinner, alcohol or solvents.
• Check the pockets of all laundry and empty them.
• Before washing, remove dirt, stains and hair from the laundry, eg. by pre-soaking and pre-
washing by hand.
• Sort the laundry according to colors and the washing procedures and washing
temperatures indicated on the care labels. Do not wash white laundry together with
coloured laundry but separately. Newly bought coloured laundry must be washed
separately.
• Turn applications such as buttons and embroideries inwards. If necessary, close zippers,
buttons or hooks before washing, and tie loose straps or loops together.
• Wash brassiere in a laundry bag to prevent the steel hangers from loosening. In particular,
fine textiles such as curtains, crochet work or small articles (socks, handkerchiefs, neckties,
etc.) should be washed in a closed laundry bag.
• Always remove removable parts such as hooks, eyelets, e.g. from curtains.
• During the washing of large and heavy single items such as bedclothes, covers, bath
towels, jeans, lined winter jackets, etc., the drum can become imbalanced especially during
spinning. To minimize imbalances always wash several clothes together as one load.
• Linting clothes should be washed separately, otherwise there will be visible lint on all
clothes, especially on black clothes.

Fill the laundry
• Untangle the garments and place them neatly into the washing drum.
• If possible use the max. loading capacity. Do not overload the washing machine. Do not
cram the laundry in the washing drum but load it in a way that the laundry is still being
circulated during the washing process. Different sizes and thicknesses of the laundry
influence the loading capacity.
• Close the door, making sure that no laundry is trapped between the door and the seal.
SELECT AND FILLING IN DETERGENT
Caution!
• Keep detergents out of the reach of children!
• Observe the instructions of the detergent regarding dosage and storage.
• Only use detergents suitable for washing machines and make the right selection, taking
into account the kinds of laundry to be washed (cotton, colored, white etc.).
• Do not use bleach, as it can damage the washing machine and the laundry.
