Fabric care symbols

To wash items correctly, please follow the fabric care symbols on the labels of the

wash items.

General tips

䡲 Wash white and coloured textiles separately.

䡲 Empty pockets and turn inside out. Remove any foreign bodies (coins, nails, paper

clips, etc.).

䡲 Empty and brush out pockets of work overalls worn in the metal industry (metal

shavings can damage the washing and cause rust stains).

䡲 Button up duvet and pillow cases; close zips and hook and eye fasteners; fasten

cloth belts and apron ties.

䡲 Wash smaller items (e.g. nylon tights, belts) and items with zips and hooks in a

washing net or pillow case.

䡲 Remove stains before washing using suitable stain removers.

䡲 Pre-treat heavily soiled areas (collars, cuffs, etc.) with soap, special detergent or

paste.

䡲 For heavily soiled washing, select the additional «Pre-wash» programme or,

alternatively, change the «Degree of soiling» to «heavily soiled» or «very heavily

soiled».

䡲 Wash wool and any other textiles with the fabric care label using the «Hand

wash» programme and detergent suitable for woollens and delicates.
