Preparation of clothes
CAUTION

Do not wash any items that are declared as non-
washable. Always follow the instructions on the
care label of your laundry.

Do not wash clothes soaked in petrol, thinners,
alcohol, or solvents.

Foreign objects (e. g. nails, coins) can cause
damage to garments and components.

Check the pockets of all garments on content and
empty them completely.

Sort your fabrics by color and the symbols con-
tained on the care label. Separate white and col-
ored laundry. All new colored clothes should be
washed separately.

Turn buttons and embroidery inside.

Close zippers, buttons and hooks before washing.
Tie any loose straps and loops.

Wash bras e. g. in a pillowcase to prevent leak-
age of the steel bracket.

Particularly delicate fabrics such as curtains, cro-
chet or small items (socks, handkerchiefs, neck-
ties, etc.) should be washed in a closed bag.

Remove always all the hooks from curtains.

Washing large and heavy parts such as bath tow-
els, jeans, lined jackets and the like can cause the
drum to run unbalanced. We recommend adding
one or two smaller parts; this especially helps with
the spinning cycle.

The clothes which easily get fuzzed shall be
washed separately; otherwise the other articles
can be stained with dust and thrum etc. Prefera-
bly, black clothes and cotton clothes shall be
washed separately because they can easily get
stained with the thrums of other colors when be-
ing washed together.

Clean away dusts, stains and pet hairs from the
clothes.

For spot removing heavy soiling the laundry can
be treated with a special prewash spray. Follow
the operating instructions of the product packag-
ing.
Select proper detergent
CAUTION:
Always consider the dosage and storage recommen-
dations on the sales packaging.
WARNING:
Keep detergent and additives out of reach for chil-
dren!

Use only “slightly foaming” detergent for washing
machines according to type of fabric (cotton, syn-
thetics, lined or woolen products), color, washing
temperature and degree of soiling. Otherwise
foaming can cause overflowing.

Bleach is alkaline and can damage your clothing,
preferably does not use bleach.

Detergents often leave residue in the clothes,
which can cause bad odor if not rinsed properly.

Detergent cannot easily get dissolved completely
if there is too much detergent or water tempera-
ture is rather low. It can remain in clothes, pipes
and washing machines to pollute the clothes.

Washing shall follow the weight of clothes, dirty
degrees, local water hardness as well as the rec-
ommendations from the detergent manufacturers.
Consult the water company if you are not clear of
water hardness.
