The Right Load Capacity - Blomberg WAF 1500 Operating Instructions Manual

• Empty pockets, remove all foreign ob-
jects (e.g. coins, pens, paper clips). If
possible: Turn pockets inside out and
brush.
• Place small items of laundry (e.g.
tights) in a cloth bag, pillow case or
something similar. This can also help
you to avoid searching for lost socks.
• Handle curtains with special care. Re-
move non-stainless curtain runners
and lead tape. Place runners that can't
be removed in a cloth bag, pillow case
or something similar.
• Close zippers, sew on loose buttons,
mend unstiched seams and tears.
• Only wash woolens that are labelled
"machine washable" or "handwasha-
ble" – and only with the appropriate
programme.
• Wash new coloured items of laundry
separately – they may "bleed".
• 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. Make sure to follow the instruc-
tions on the package.
• Wash jeans and delicates inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora-
wool in the freezer compartment for a
few hours before washing – this reduc-
es number of fluff balls formed.
