Loading the laundry Risk of explosion
Items of clothing that have been pretreated with
solvent-based cleaning agents, e.g. Stain remover
and dry cleaning spirit, represent an explosion
hazard once loaded into the washer-dryer.
Therefore, these items must be rinsed thoroughly
by hand.
Caution:
Loose debris in the washer-dryer drum can damage
the laundry. Before loading the laundry, check that
there is no debris in the drum.
Open the loading door.
Unfold the sorted items of clothing and place them
loosely into the drum. Mix up large and small items.
Items of varying size will distribute better during
the spin cycle..
Do not exceed the maximum load: Overloading
will cause poor wash/dry results and encourage
creasing.
When washing/drying a small amount of laundry,
the washer-dryer automatically reduces the
amount of the water and energy used.
Close the loading door.
Take care not to trap any items of clothing between
the loading door and rubber seal.
