Before the first wash

1.Open the detergent drawer.

2.Pour approx. 1 litre of water through the detergent drawer into the washing machine.

3.To remove any production-related residues from the drum and water tank, perform the first wash cycle without washing. Programme: COT- TONS/LINEN 60, press the TIME SAVER button, add approx. 1/4 measur- ing cup detergent.

Preparing and sorting washing

Preparing washing

•Empty the pockets. Remove foreign bodies (e.g. coins, paper clips, nails, etc.).

•Do up zips, button up covers to prevent damage to washing.

•Remove the runners from net curtains or cover them with a net or a bag.

•Wash delicate and small items in a net/pillowcase, e. g. net curtains, tights, small socks, handkerchiefs, bras.

Important: Bras and other items containing wires should only be washed in a net bag. The wires can work loose and damage the appli- ance.

Sorting washing

•By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can run.

•By temperature, type of washing and care symbol.

Important: Do not wash fabrics with the Gcare symbol (= do not wash!) in the washing machine.
