Preparing the laundry
A
Laundry with hard or metal parts (bras
with underwires, belts with metal
buckles etc.) will damage the appli-
ance. Remove those parts or put laun-
dry in a laundry bag or similar.
• Empty pockets, remove all foreign ob-
jects (coins, pens, paper clips). Put
small pieces of laundry (baby socks,
tights) in a laundry bag or similar.
• Handle curtains with extra care! Re-
move non-stainless runners and lead
tape not sewn in. Put runners which
can not be removed in a laundry bag
or similar.
• Close zippers, sew on loose buttons,
mend unstitched seams and tears.
• Wash only woollens marked "machine
wash" or "hand wash" – and only with
the appropriate wash programme.
• Wash new, coloured cottons separate-
ly – they could dye.
• Heavy stains should be treated appro-
priately before washing. If in doubt
check with a chemist or dry cleaner.
• Use only dyes/discolouring and an-
tiliming agents suitable for machine
wash. Observe the information given
on the packing!
The right amount
• The max. load depends on the laundry
type, the grade of soil, and the wash
programme.

Please note the information given in
the "Programme Table"!
Overloading the drum adversely af-
fects the washing result.

Always try to utilize the max. load.
