Preparing a Wash Load
Sorting and preparing a wash load
•Sort the washing according to care symbol (see “Washing Types and Care Symbols”).
•Empty all pockets.
•Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
•In order to prevent the washing tangling and being damaged: close zippers, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, and tie up loose straps such as from aprons.
•Turn articles with double layered fabric inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks etc.).
•In the case of knitted coloured fabrics and also wool and fabrics with jewellery attached: turn inside out.
•Place small and delicate articles (baby booties, stockings, bras etc.) into a washing net, a pillow case with zipper, or in large socks before washing.
•Handle curtains with particular care. Metal fittings or burred, plastic fittings 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 trans- fer colour to white washing or turn it grey.
•New coloured items often have an excess of colour. It is better to wash such items separately the first time.
•Mix small and large items of washing. This improves the wash effi- ciency and the washing is more evenly distributed during the spin cy- cle.
•Shake out washing before placing into the washing machine.
•Do not place folded washing into the drum.
•Observe such washing instructions as “wash separately” and “wash separately several times”!
