Protecting your laundry and
appliance
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/textiles
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper clips,
needles, nails) may damage the
washing or components of the
appliance.
The following instructions must be
observed when preparing your laundry:
■
Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions when dosing
all detergents, cleaning aids, care
products and cleaning agents.
■
Do not exceed maximum load.
Overfilling will impair the washing
result.
■
Keep detergents and agents for the
pretreatment of laundry (e.g. stain
remover, prewash sprays, etc.) away
from the surfaces of the appliance.
Using a damp cloth, immediately
remove any fine spray residue and
other residue or droplets.
■
Empty any pockets. Remove any
foreign objects.
■
Remove metal parts (paper clips,
etc.).
■
Trousers, knitwear and knitted
textiles, e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts
or sweatshirts, should be turned
inside out.
■
Ensure that underwired bras are
appliance-washable.
■
Wash delicates in a net or bag
(tights, underwired bras, etc).
■
Close zips, button up covers.
■
Brush sand out of pockets and
collars.
■
Remove curtain fittings or place in a
net/bag.

instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
