Preparing and sorting washing
Preparing washing
• Empty pockets. Remove foreign bodies (e. g.
coins, paper clips, nails, etc.).
• Do up zips, button up covers to prevent damage to
washing.
• Remove the runners from net curtains or cover
them with a net or a bag.
• Wash sensitive and small items in a net or a pillow
case, e.g. net curtains, tights, socks, handker-
chiefs, bras.
Important! Bras and other items containing wires
should only be washed in a net bag. The wires can
work loose and damage the appliance.
Sorting washing
• By colour: Wash white and coloured washing sep-
arately. Washing can run.
• By temperature, type of washing and care symbol.
Important! Do not wash fabrics with care symbol
G (= do not wash!) in the washing machine.
