PREPARING THE WASH
1.Sort the laundry according to...
• Type of fabric / care label symbol
Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics,
wool, handwashed items
• Colour
Separate coloured and white items. Wash new
coloured articles separately
•Size
Laundry items of different sizes distribute
themselves better in the drum and optimise the
washing and spinning action
• Delicates

etc.) and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a
washbag or pillow case with a zip fastener.
Always remove curtain glides or wash curtains
with the glides inside a cotton bag

Coins, safety pins etc. can damage the laundry,
drum and tub
3.Closures
Close zips and hooks and eyes; Tie loose belts or
straps together

Loading the laundry
1.
Open the door.

Unfold the laundry and place it loosely in the
drum. Observe the load sizes given in the Quick
Reference Guide.

overloading the machine will result in
unsatisfactory washing results and creased laundry.

plastic screw on the interior of the door. To do this, use
the thick rounded corner of the coloured insert from the
detergent dispenser or a coin:
