Operating Instructions

Before the first wash

0Run a washing cycle without washing (COTTONS 95, with half the amount of detergent).

This removes any residues from the drum which may have been left during manufacturing.

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 discol- our white washing or turn it grey.

New, coloured washing often contains excessive dye. Wash these sep- arately the first time.

Mix small and large items of washing. This improves washing effi- ciency and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spin- ning 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".
