Placing laundry into the drum
:
Warning
Danger of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with
cleaning agents that contain solvents,
e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent,
may cause an explosion after being
loaded into the washing machine.
Hand-rinse these items of laundry
thoroughly beforehand.
Notes
■
Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.
Laundry items of different sizes
distribute themselves better during
the spin cycle. Individual laundry
items may cause an unbalanced
load.
■
Observe the maximum specified
load. Overfilling adversely affects the
washing result and promotes
creasing.
1.
Unfold presorted laundry items and
place them in the drum.
2.
Make sure that no items of laundry
are trapped between the door and
the rubber seal, and close the door.
