Placing laundry into the drum
:
Warning
Danger of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with
cleaning agents that contain solvents,
e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent,
may cause an explosion after being
loaded into the washing machine.
Hand-rinse these items of laundry
thoroughly beforehand.
Notes
■
Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.
Laundry items of different sizes
distribute themselves better during
the spin cycle. Individual laundry
items may cause an unbalanced
load.
■
Observe the maximum specified
load. Overfilling adversely affects
the washing result and promotes
creasing.
1.
Unfold presorted laundry items and
place in the drum.
2.
Ensure that no laundry items are
trapped between the washing
machine door and rubber seal.
3.
Close the washing machine door.
The indicator light on the
Start/Reload
button flashes and the
default settings for the programme
appear continuously on the display
panel. Changes may be made to the
default settings.
