1. Preparing the laundry
Empty all pockets.
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on
can cause damage to garments and
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. Stains
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft, colourfast cloth. Do not rub!

coffee, tea) can be pre-treated using
some handy tricks which can be found

view a copy of this manual.
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents.
Cleaning agents containing benzine,
stain remover, etc., can damage
plastic parts.
When pre-treating a stain, make sure
that plastic parts do not come into
contact with cleaning agents.
Risk of explosion due to solvent-
based cleaning agents.
When using solvent-based cleaning
agents, an explosive mixture may
develop.
Never use solvent-based cleaning
agents in the washing machine.
