Preparation of Clothes
- Check the pockets of the clothes to be washed, empty the rigid items such as decorations and
coins, otherwise washing machine may be damaged or have abnormal troubles.
- Sort your laundry before placing it in the washing machine.
- Consider the symbols in the washing instructions on care label. Clothes are differentiated in cotton,
blended fabric, synthetics, silk, wool and synthetic fibers.
- Separate in white and colored laundry. Wash all new clothing separately.
- Wash clothes of similar size together for better economy.
- Wash delicate clothes separately. New wool fabrics, curtains and silk must be treated like deli-
cates. Observe the washing instructions in all clothes.
- Remove hooks from curtains.
- Decorations on clothes can damage your washing machine. Turn buttons and embroidery inside
out.
- Close zippers, buttons and hooks. Tie bands and ribbons together.
- We recommend placing for instance bras inside a pillowcase to prevent damage.
- Delicate textiles such as laced curtains, straightjackets, small articles (tight socks, handkerchiefs,
ties etc.) shall be put into string bag for washing.
- Washing large and heavy parts such as bath towels, jeans, lined jackets and the like can cause the
drum to run unbalanced. We recommend adding one or two smaller parts; this especially helps with
the spinning cycle.
- The clothes which easily get fuzzed shall be washed separately; otherwise the other articles can be
stained with dust and thrum etc. Preferably, black clothes and cotton clothes shall be washed sepa-
rately because they can easily get stained with the thrums of other colors when being washed to-
gether.
- Clean away dusts, stains and pet hairs from the clothes.
Please pay attention with regard to detergents
- Use only “slightly foaming” detergent for washing machines according to type of fabric (cotton, syn-
thetics, lined or woolen products), color, washing temperature and degree of soiling. Otherwise
foaming can cause overflowing.
- Bleach is alkaline and can damage your clothing, preferably does not use bleach.
- Detergents often leave residue in the clothes, which can cause bad odor if not rinsed properly.
- Detergent cannot easily get dissolved completely if there is too much detergent or water tempera-
ture is rather low. It can remain in clothes, pipes and washing machines to pollute the clothes.
Washing shall follow the weight of clothes, dirty degrees, local water hardness as well as the recom-
mendations from the detergent manufacturers. Please consult the water company if you are not clear
of water hardness.
ATTENTION: Keep detergents and additives in safe and dry places out of touch by kids.
