Operating Instructions
Before the First Wash
0Carry out a washing operation without washing (COTTONS 95 °C, with half the quantity of washing powder/liquid).
This removes residues left over from production on the drum and solu- tion container.
Prepare washing cycle
Sort washing and prepare
•Sort the washing according to the care symbol and type (see "Wash- ing types and care codes").
•Empty all pockets.
•Remove metal objects (paper clips, safety pins etc.).
•To prevent damage to the washing and tangled washing: Close zip fasteners, button bed and pillow covers closed, tie up loose strings e.g. of aprons.
•Turn articles with double layered textiles inside out (sleeping bags, anoraks etc.).
•In the case of knitted coloured textiles and also with wool and tex- tiles with jewelry attached: turn inside out.
•Wash small and sensitive items (e.g. baby socks, tights and stockings, bras etc.) in a washing net, a cushion with a zip fastener or in larger socks.
•Handle curtains with particular care. Metal rollers or burred, plastic rollers must be removed or tied into a net or bag. We cannot accept liability for damage.
•Coloureds and white items must not be washed together in a washing cycle. This could discolour white washing or turn it grey.
•There is often excess dye in new, coloured items. It is best to wash such items separately the first time.
•Mix small and large items. This improves the washing effect and the washing is more favourably distributed during spinning.
•Fluff washing before placing into the washing machine.
•Do not place folded washing into the drum.
•Pay attention to the care instruction "wash separately" and "wash separately several times".
