6.3 Preparing laundry
▶
Sort out clothes according to fabric (cotton, synthet-
ics, wool or silk) and to how dirty they are (Fig. 6-3). Pay
attention to the care labelling of washing labels.
▶
Separate white clothes from coloured ones.
Wash coloured textiles fi rst by hand to check if
they fade or run.
▶
Empty pockets (keys, coins, etc.) and remove harder
decorative objects (e.g. brooches) as well as fl am-
mable objects (paper tissues, lighters, matches etc.).
▶
Garments without hems, delicates and fi nely wo-
ven textile such as fi ne curtains are to be put into
a wash bag to care for this delicate laundry (hand
or dry cleaning would be better).
▶
Close zippers, velco fastener and hooks, make
sure the buttons are sewn on tightly.
▶
Place sensitive items like laundry without fi rm
hem, delicate underwear (Dessous) and small
items such as socks, belts, bras, etc. in a wash bag.
▶
Unfold large pieces of fabric such as bed sheets,
bedspreads etc.
▶
Turn jeans and printed, decorated or color-inten-
sive textiles inside out; possibly wash separately.
Note: Special hints for drying
▶
Sort clothes according to fabric(cotton, synthetics, etc.) desired dry level and equal
residual moisture. Follow the instructions on the laundry label and dry only machine-
dryable garments
▶
Spin the laundry with the maximum spin speed before drying.
▶
Do not exceed the max. load.
▶
Extra large pieces tend to wind up. If the laundry has not been suffi ciently dry, loosen
up the laundry and dry again with programme DRY.
▶
Especially delicate fabrics which can easily shrink or lose their shape, as well as e.g. silk
stockings, lingerie etc. should not be dried with the appliance. Put delicate garments
inside a laundry bag and avoid overdrying them.
▶
Jersey and knitwear should not be dried to avoid shrinkage.
