do a preliminary wash with the machine empty, as a precaution to clean the
drum, tank and the product box.
1. Pour a dose of detergent in the “washing” distributor.
2. Select the WHITE / COLOUREDS 95°C program.
3. Press the START/PAUSE button

Preparing a Wash Load
Sorting and preparing a wash load
• Sort washing according to the care symbol and type (see "Washing types
and care symbols").
• Empty all pockets.
• Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
• In order to prevent bunching up of washing and damage to washing,
close zippers, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, and tie up loose
straps such as from aprons.
• Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags,
anoraks etc.).
• Coloured, knitted fabrics, as well as wool and fabrics with appliqués
should be turned inside out.
• Place small and delicate items (e.g. socks, tights and stockings, bras etc.)
in a washing net, or pillow case.
• Handle curtains with care. Metal rollers or burred, plastic rollers must be
removed or tied into a net or bag. We cannot accept liability for damage.
• Do not wash coloured and white washing together. This could discolour
white washing or turn it grey.
• New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these
separately the first time.
• Mix small and large items of washing. This improves washing efficiency
and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spinning cycle.
• Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine.
• Do not place folded washing into the drum.
• Observe tips such as "wash separately“ and "wash separately several
times".
