may damage laundry. Check the drum
for foreign objects before putting in the
laundry.

• Unfold pre-sorted laundry items and
loosely load into the washing drum. Mix
large and small items.
Laundry items of different sizes distribute
themselves better during the spin cycle.
Do not exceed suggested loads (see also
PROGRAMME CHART). Overfilling reduces
washing efficiency and promotes creasing.
Water and energy consumption by the
washing machine is automatically reduced
for smaller loads.
• Close drum lid.
Do not wedge laundry items between the
drum and the drum lid.
Ensure that the drum lid is properly
closed.
