 Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause damage
to garments and to components in
the machine.
Check the laundry before washing
and remove any foreign objects.
Sort the laundry
 Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Tip: Dark textiles often contain excess
dye and should be washed separately
several times before being included in a
mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
Pre-treat stains
 Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub.

1. Prepare the laundry

Tip: Badly soiled areas can be pre-
treated with liquid detergent, stain
removers etc. first, following the

cleaning agents can cause severe
damage to the washing machine.
