Prepare the laundry

Caution!

Damage to the appliance/fabrics

Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper-clips, 

needles, nails) may damage the laundry 

or components in the washing machine. 

Therefore, note the following tips when 

preparing your laundry:

Empty pockets.

Look out for metal items (paperclips, 

etc.) and remove them.

Wash delicates in a laundry bag 

(tights, underwired bras, etc.).

Close any zips, button up any cover 

buttons.

Brush sand out of pockets and 

collars.

Remove curtain fittings or place 

curtains in a laundry bag.

Sorting laundry

Sort your laundry according to the care 

instructions and manufacturer's 

information on the care labels, 

depending on:

Type of fabric/fibre

Colour

Note:  

Laundry can discolour or not 

be cleaned correctly. Wash white 

and coloured items separately.

Wash new bright fabrics separately 

the first time you wash them.

Soiling  

Wash laundry with the same level of 

soiling together.

Some examples of levels of soiling: 

light

: Do not prewash; if 

necessary, select the additional 

programme setting 

SpeedPerfect

.

normal

heavy

: Load less laundry, select 

a programme with prewash.

Stains

: Remove/pretreat stains 

while they are fresh. Firstly, dab 

with a soap water; do not rub. 

Then wash the items of laundry 

with the appropriate programme. 

Stubborn or dried-in stains can 

sometimes only be removed by 

washing several times.
