Preparing The Laundry - Miele WWF 060 Operating Instructions Manual

1. Preparing the laundry

 Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips) can cause damage to
fabrics and to components in the
machine.
Check the laundry before washing
and remove any such foreign
objects.
Sorting the laundry
 Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
fabric care label in the collar or side
seam.
Useful tip: Dark fabrics often contain
excess dye and should be washed
separately several times before being
included in a mixed load. Wash light
and dark coloured items separately.
Pre-treating stains
 Badly soiled areas and stains 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!

Useful tip: Stains (e.g. blood, egg,
coffee, tea) can be pre-treated using
some handy tricks which can be found
in the Miele guide to laundry care.
Please contact Miele to obtain a copy
of this booklet.

Solvent-based cleaners (e.g. one
containing benzine) can damage
plastic parts.
When pre-treating garments, make
sure that any plastic parts (e.g.
buttons) do not come into contact
with cleaning agents.

Chemical (solvent-based)
cleaning agents can cause severe
damage to the washing machine.
Do not use solvent-based cleaning
agents in this machine!
