Preparing the Laundry
Sort the laundry before washing according to the
type, quality, colour and soil degree of the
laundry.
Type of Fabrics
Most clothes nowadays have labels describing
the type of fabric they are made of, the kind of
recommended wash, and the recommended
washing temperature.
These labels will help you choose the most
suitable washing programme for your clothes.
Put delicate laundry (stockings, fine underwear...)
into a sack or into a pillow case if washed
together with other laundry.
Colour Fastness
Pay special attention to colour fastness, and
always choose the correct washing temperature.
When washing new clothes, always check colour
fastness first - wash separately the first time.
Degree of Soil
Stained and heavily soiled laundry should be
washed in small loads or with a larger amount of
washing powder.
Heavily stained or soiled areas on the fabric can
be treated before washing using special agents.
Use the energy-saving programme for lightly
soiled laundry (no pre-wash, economic
programme, lower washing temperature).
Loading
The maximum load of dry laundry is stated in the
table.
Excessive loads cause creases and decrease the
washing effect.
Always check the pockets before loading the
laundry. Remove keys, coins, hair-pins and
similar objects that may clog the water outlet
hose.
Zip the zippers and remove metal pins that may
damage the laundry or even the drum (fig. 11).
Folded clothes should be loosened before
loading.
The best washing effect is obtained by mixing
larger and smaller items of laundry in one
load.
