Preparing to wash
Sorting the laundry
• Sort the laundry by type of fabric, col-
our, degree of soiling and permissible
water temperature.
A
Always follow the recommendations
on the garment label.
• Don't wash coloureds and whites to-
gether. New, dark coloured cottons
will stain very much.
Preparing clothes for washing
A
Items of laundry with metal parts
(e.g.underwire bras, belt buckles, met-
al buttons) will damage the machine.
Remove metal parts or place the items
in a cloth bag, pillow case, or some-
thing similar.
• Empty pockets, remove all foreign ob-
jects (e.g. coins, pens, paper clips). If
possible: Turn pockets inside out and
brush.
• Place small items of laundry (e.g.
tights) in a cloth bag, pillow case or
something similar. This can also help
you to avoid searching for lost socks.
• Handle curtains with special care. Re-
move non-stainless curtain runners
and lead tape. Place runners that can't
be removed in a cloth bag, pillow case
or something similar.
• Close zippers, sew on loose buttons,
mend unstiched seams and tears.
• Only wash woolens that are labelled
"machine washable" or "handwasha-
ble" – and only with the appropriate
programme.
• Wash new coloured items of laundry
separately – they may "bleed".
• Heavy stains should be treated appro-
priately before washing. If in doubt,
check with a chemist or dry-cleaner.
