Preparation

Sorting the laundry
• Sort the laundry by type, colour, degree of dirtiness and permitted water temperature.
• Always follow the instructions on the labels of your clothes.
Preparing the laundry for washing
• Clothing with metal elements such as underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons can
damage the machine. Remove these metal elements if you can or wash these clothes in a
string bag or a pillowcase.
• Empty any objects such as coins, ballpoint pens and paper clips from the pockets. Turn
them inside out. These types of objects can damage your machine or cause noise.
• Place small items of clothing such as children's socks or nylon stockings in a string bag
or a pillowcase.
• Place curtains in the drum without compressing them down. Remove any fastening
elements from the curtains.
• Close zips, sew up loose buttons, and mend holes and tears before washing.
• Products labelled «machine washable» or «hand washable» should be washed only on a
suitable programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark-coloured cotton laundry can bleed its
colour. Wash them separately.
• Difficult stains must be treated properly before washing. If you have any questions, consult
a cleaning professional.
• Only use dyes/colour enhancers and descalers that are suitable for use in a washing
machine. Always follow the advice on the packaging.
• Wash trousers and delicates inside out.
• Put angora wool clothes in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This precautionary
measure reduces pilling.
• Clothes with heavy stains such as flour, chalk dust, milk powder, etc. must be shaken out
before being put into the machine. Over time, these dusts and powders can build up on the
internal surfaces of the machine and cause damage.
