Notice
In the case or textiles soiled with blood
or proteins, select the option
Prewash
.
Washing these stains out at a tempera-
ture of about 30 °C prevents setting the
stain on the fabric at higher temperatures
during the main-wash.
Environmentally compatible
washing
Your washing machine will operate most
efficiently and most environmentally
friendly if you fill it with the maximum
laundry quantity.
Small loads are uneconomical and result in
increased wear of laundry and machine.
Notice
Do not exceed the maximum loading
quantities!
Over filling detracts from the washing
result and may lead to fabric damage.
Wash normally soiled laundry without a
prewash.
Washing tips
Sorting the laundry
Follow the care symbols in the fabrics.
do not wash
Laundry marked with this care symbol may
not be washed in the machine.
Sort the laundry by colour, fabric type and
temperature.
Wash whites and coloureds separately,
otherwise white laundry will become grey.
Do not wash new coloureds with other
laundry due to the risk of discoloration!
Check that brassieres are machine
washable.
Knitwear made wholly or partly from wool
must also be labelled «non-felting» or
«machine washable», otherwise there is a
risk of felting during the washing process.
Important
Textiles with metal reinforcements can
damage the components of the machine
and must not be washed in the washing
machine.
►
Wash brassieres with stiffeners in a
fine-mesh laundry bag because of the
risk of the wires becoming detached in
the wash and falling through the drum
perforations with resultant damage.
Preparing the laundry
►
Remove foreign bodies such as safety
pins, paper clips, coins etc from the
laundry.
►
Brush out sand from the pockets and
turn-ups.
►
Close zips, hooks, eyelets and Velcro
closures.
