1. Prepare the laundry
11
Empty all pockets.
Foreign objects left in pockets
(e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.)
can cause damage to clothes and
the machine.
Sort the laundry
Only wash items that are labeled
machine washable by the manufacturer.
Most garments have a fabric care label
in the collar or side seam.
Sort the laundry by care label and
color.
Tip:
Dark fabrics often bleed the first
few times they are washed. They should
be washed separately several times
before being included in a mixed load.
Pre-treating stains
Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably while still fresh. Dab stains
with a damp light colored cloth. Do
not rub!
Solvent-based cleaners (e.g.,
benzene) can damage plastic parts.
When pre-treating a stain, make sure
that plastic parts do not come into
contact with cleaning agent.
Chemical (solvent-based)
cleaning agents can cause damage
in the washing machine.
Never use such cleaning agents in
the washing machine!
General tips
– Curtains: Remove any lead weights
or strips before washing.
– Loose bra underwires should be
removed or sewn in place before
washing.
– Close zippers, hooks and eyelets
before washing.
– Comforter covers and pillowcases
should be fastened to prevent small
items from rolling inside of them.
Do not wash items with the
symbol on the fabric care label.
