General tips
Pre-treating stains
•
Sort the laundry by colour and by care label.
Most garments have a textile care label in the collar
or side seam.
Tip:
Dark textiles often contain excess dye and should
be washed separately several times before being
included in a mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
Place very small items or delicate items inside a
dedicated wash bag or pillow case when washing.
•
Curtains: Remove all fixing hooks first.
•
Any loose wiring in bras, shirt collar stiffeners, etc.
should be removed or sewn in.
•
Close any zips, attach velcro fasteners, fasten hooks
and eyes etc. before washing.
•
Fasten duvet covers, pillow cases etc. to prevent
small items from being rolled up inside them.
Do not
wash any items in this washing machine which
are specified by the manufacturer as not washable on
the care label (
symbol).
Do not wash footwear.
•
Badly soiled areas and
stains should be pretreated
using a proprietary stain
treatment. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Empty all pockets, close zips and fasteners.
WARNING:
Damage due to foreign objects.
Nails, coins, paper clips, and so on can cause
damage to garments and components in the
machine.
Check the laundry before washing and remove any
foreign objects.
WARNING:
Damage due to solvent-based
cleaning agents.
Cleaning agents containing benzine, stain remover,
etc., can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating textiles, make sure that any
plastic parts (e.g. buttons) do not come into contact
with cleaning agent.
