The headings numbered (
show the operating sequence and can
be used as a brief guide.
Before washing
1
Prepare the wash load
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips etc) can cause damage
to textiles and components in the
machine.
Sort the washing
Most garments have a textile care label
in the collar or side seam. Sort the
washing by care label symbols. The
symbols are explained on page 20.
Only wash items in this machine which

mixed load.
Delicate textiles should be washed sep-
arately in a delicates programme.
Only wash textiles made from wool or
wool mixtures if the textile care label
states that they are suitable for ma-
chine washing.
Pre-treating the washing
Badly soiled areas, e.g. collars and
cuffs, and water soluble stains can be
pre-treated with bar soap, liquid deter-
gent or detergent mixed into a solution
or paste.
With particularly stubborn stains ask
your Dry Cleaner for advice.
Do not use solvent based cleaning
agents in this machine.

Open the door and load the drum
Unfold washing and load loosely in the
drum. To achieve best results it is advis-
able to make up mixed loads consist-
ing of both large and small items.
This improves the washing effect and
helps distribute the load evenly to keep
the machine stable and reduce the
noise level during spinning.
Overloading reduces the wash result
and causes more creasing.
