Preparing the washing cycle
Sorting out and preparing washing
•Sort out washing according to the type and care symbol (see "Types of washing and care symbols").
•Empty the pockets.
•Remove any metal parts (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
•To prevent washing from getting damaged and forming bundles: close zips, button up duvet covers and pillow cases, tie up loose straps such as from aprons.
•Turn clothes made from double layer fabric inside out (e.g. anoraks, sleeping bags).
•For knitted coloured fabrics as well as woollens and fabrics with appliqué: turn inside out.
•Put small and delicate pieces (baby socks, tights) in a washing net, a pillow case with zip or in larger socks.
•Handle curtains with special care. Remove metal strips or plastic fins or tie them in a net or a bag.
We accept no liability for damages.
•Keep coloureds and whites separately in different washing cycles, otherwise whites will turn grey.
•New coloured fabric often contains excess dyes. Wash this laundry separately for the first time.
•Mix small and large pieces of washing! This improves the effective- ness of the wash and the washing is distributed better when spinning.
•Shake out washing before putting it into the machine.
•Unfold the washing before putting it into the drum.
•Observe tips for proper care such as "wash separately" and "wash sep- arately several times"!.
