Preparing Garments for Washing

Preparation

Before placing the clothes in the drum, make sure all the pockets are empty (Figure 10). Any small objects may block the drain pump.

Sorting the Clothes

Sort the clothes according to fabric and how they are made:

We recommend using the delicate programmes for sensitive fabrics (Figure 11).

Sort clothes according to how soiled they are (Figure 12).

Wash lightly soiled garments using a short programme.

Use a programme without prewash for medium-soiled garments.

Wash heavily soiled garments using a long programme with prewash.

Sort your clothes according to colour (Figure 13).

Wash white and coloured loads separately.

We recommend loading the washing machine to its full capacity for best water and energy efficiency.

Whenever possible, we recommend that you wash garments of different sizes within the same wash programme. This improves the washing action and also aids the correct distribution of the garments in the drum when spin-drying, and the washing machine will therefore be quieter.

We recommend that small garments are placed in a wash bag.
