Placing laundry into the drum
:
Warning
Risk 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 washing of varying
sizes. Laundry items of different
sizes distribute themselves better
during the spin cycle. Individual
laundry items may cause an
unbalanced load.
