Operating Instructions

Before the first wash

0Run a washing programme without laundry (selecting COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARES 95, with half the normal amount of detergent).

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

Preparing for a wash cycle

Sorting and preparing the washing

Sort the washing according to care symbols (see Section "Types of washing and care symbols").

Empty out the pockets.

Remove metal objects (such as paper clips, safety pins, etc.).

To avoid damage and tangling: close zips, button pillow-cases and duvet covers, tie together loose tapes and strings (for example on aprons).

Turn items with double-layered fabrics inside out (sleeping bags, ano- raks, etc.).

Knitted coloured fabrics such as woollens and other materials with decorations or jewellry should also be turned inside out.

Wash small, delicate items (such as baby's socks, tights, bras, etc.) in a washing net, cushion cover with a zip or in large socks.

Special care must be taken with net curtains. Remove metal or plastic rollers liable to snag or tie the curtains up in a net or bag. We cannot accept liability for any damage.

Coloured and white washing should not be washed together in the same cycle. Otherwise, whites can discolour or turn grey.

New coloured garments often have excess dye. It is better to wash these items separately for the first time.

Mix large items with smaller ones. This gives more effective washing and distributes items better during the spin cycle.

Shake out the washing before loading it into the washing machine.

Separate items from one another before placing in the drum.

Pay attention to care advice such as "Wash separately" or "Wash sep- arately several times"!
