Sorting the Laundry
Sort laundry according to type of

allowed washing temperature. Do
not wash white laundry together with
colored ones. Remove hard parts like
belt, wrist button, curtain buttons, etc.
or place laundry in a cloth bag. Empty
pockets. Zip up and button up. Very
tiny laundry like baby clothes may get
into inside of drum, midst of bellow,
pump filter, hose, etc. in order to pre-
vent this it is advised to place such
laundry in a special laundry string bag
or large laundry. See practical and
useful information section for soiled
laundry. Your machine can wash “Ma-
chine Wash” or “No-matting” labeled
woolen with special woolen program.
Delicate laundry with “Do not wash”
or “hand wash” label (silk, cashmere,
pure wool, etc.) can be washed in the
special hand-wash program.

Selection of detergent and
softener

depends on hardness of water and
how soiled laundry is. Recommended

tergent as indicated on the package.

machines. Avoid using bleach product
containing sulfur or chlorine. Place
