1. Sort laundry as follows...
• Fabric type / Care label
Cotton, cotton/synthetic mix, synthetics,
wool.
• Colour
Separate white from coloured items. Wash
new coloured items separately.
• Size
Washing articles of different size together
improves wash efficiency and distributes the
load better in the drum.
• Fabric delicacy

appropriate special programme for machine-
washable wool , curtains and other
delicate items.
Either remove curtain hooks or tie into a cloth
bag.
Only wash machine-washable items! Wash
small items (e.g. Nylon stockings, belts etc.)
and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a special
wash bag or in a zipped-up pillow case.
2. Empty pockets

laundry, the drum and the detergent
container.

together.

by the automatic enzyme phase of the
programme.
• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and
fruit stains. add a stain remover into the
detergent dispenser.
• Heavily soiled parts can be treated with a
stain remover if necessary.
LOADING THE WASH
1. Open the door.
2. Load the articles one at a time loosely into
the drum, without overfilling.
3. Close the door.
LOAD CAPACITY
See programme chart.
Note: Overloading the machine reduces the
wash efficiency and encourages creasing.
Note for continuous washing/drying:
If drying is to be carried out straight after the
washing cycle without interruption, the maximum
permissible load must be observed.
