Operation
Before washing
Sort the linen according on the temperature and the instructions of the manufacturer of the fabrics. Check
if there aren‘t any strange objects between the linen like nails, screws, needles, etc. in order not to damage
the washer-extractor or the linen. Turn sleeves of shirts, blouses, etc. inside out. To get a better washing
result, you have to unfold the fabrics and mix the bigger and smaller pieces of fabrics.
Opening the drum door
Open the door by pulling on the door handle.
Placing the laundry into the machine
CAUTION!
The optimal washing load is determined by the filling factor. The proper filling factor is determined by the type of
linen and other factors. Cotton textiles normally require a filling factor of 1:10-1:13, which is a full drum load. Put the
linen in the drum depending on the maximum capacity of the washer. Do not overload the washer extractor.
Overloading the machine can lead to a bad wash result. Half washing loads can obstruct a proper function.
Synthetics and blended fabrics usually require a filling factor of 1:18-1:20, which is half drum load. Loading more
will reduce the wash result and can damage the linen.
Closing the drum door
Close the door with the door handle, making sure the door is properly latched before operating the washer.

wash temperature in the wash load.
