Preparing The Wash Load - Miele WS 5073 SLUICE Operating Instructions Manual

Preparing the wash load

Empty all pockets
Foreign objects, (eg nails, coins, paper
clips etc) can cause damage to textiles
and components in the machine.
Sort the laundry
Most garments have a textile care label in the
collar or side seam. Sort the laundry by care
label symbols.
Only wash items in this machine which are
stated by the manufacturer to be machine
washable on the textile care label.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye, and
should be washed separately several times
before being included in a mixed load.
Delicate textiles should be washed separately
in a delicates programme.
Woollens and textiles containing wool must
only be washed in this machine if the care
label states that they are machine washable.
Loading the drum
Unfold laundry and load loosely in the drum.
For best results make up mixed loads of large
and small items. This improves the washing
effect and distributes the load better for spin-
ning.
Overloading reduces the wash result and
causes more creasing.
Maximum load (weight of dry washing):
A
Cottons
B
Minimum iron
C
Delicates/Synthetics
D
Woollens
E
Short programme
F
Sluice
Shut the drum door
Grasp the door in the open position and
slam it shut, (mind your fingers).
At first the door may shut with difficulty.
This eases in due course.
Make sure no items of washing are caught
when the door is closed, or they could be
damaged.
