Run a washing programme without laundry (selecting COTTONS/LINEN,
EASY-CARES 95, with half the normal amount of detergent).
This removes any residues from the drum which may have been left
during manufacturing.
Preparing for a wash cycle
Sorting and preparing the washing
•
Sort the washing according to care symbols (see Section "Types of
washing and care symbols").
•
Empty out the pockets.
•
Remove metal objects (such as paper clips, safety pins, etc.).
•
To avoid damage and tangling: close zips, button pillow-cases and
duvet covers, tie together loose tapes and strings (for example on
aprons).
•
Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (sleeping bags, ano-
raks, etc.).
•
Knitted coloured fabrics such as woollens and other materials with
decorations or jewellry should also be turned inside out.
•
Wash small, delicate items (such as baby's socks, tights, bras, etc.) in a
washing net, cushion cover with a zip or in large socks.
•
Special care must be taken with net curtains. Remove metal or plastic
rollers liable to snag or tie the curtains up in a net or bag. We cannot
accept liability for any damage.
•
Coloured and white washing should not be washed together in the
same cycle. Otherwise, whites can discolour or turn grey.
•
New coloured garments often have excess dye. It is better to wash
these items separately for the first time.
•
Mix large items with smaller ones. This gives more effective washing
and distributes items better during the spin cycle.
•
Shake out the washing before loading it into the washing machine.
•
Separate items from one another before placing in the drum.
•
Pay attention to care advice such as "Wash separately" or "Wash sep-
arately several times"!
