Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects (e.g. nails, coins,
paper clips, etc.) can cause damage
to garments and components in the
machine.
^
Badly soiled areas, stains etc. should
be cleaned as soon as possible,
preferably whilst still fresh. Spillages
should be carefully dabbed off using
a soft colourfast cloth. Do not rub!
Badly soiled areas can be pre-treated
with liquid detergent, stain removers
etc. first, following the manufacturer's
instructions. With particularly stubborn
stains ask your dry cleaner for advice.
,
Do not use solvent-based
cleaning agents in this machine.
^
Sort the laundry by colour and by
care label. Most garments have a
textile care label in the collar or side
seam.
Dark textiles often contain excess dye
and should be washed separately
several times before being included in a
mixed load. Always wash whites and
coloureds separately.
– Curtains: Remove lead weights first
or place in a laundry bag.
– Underwiring and collar stiffeners: Any
loose wiring in bras, shirt collar
stiffeners, etc. should be removed or
sewn in.
– Knitted garments, trousers and jeans,
T-shirts and sweat shirts: Turn inside
out, if recommended by the
manufacturer.
– Close any zips, fasten hooks and
eyes etc before washing.
– Fasten duvet covers and pillow cases
to prevent small items from being
trapped inside them.
Do not wash any items in this machine
which are specified by the
manufacturer as
non-machine
washable
on the care label. (
