or components of the washer dryer.
The following instructions must be
observed when preparing your laundry:
■Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions when dosing
all detergents, cleaning aids, care
products and cleaning agents.
■Do not exceed maximum load.
Overfilling will impair the washing
result.
■Keep detergents and agents for the
pretreatment of laundry (e.g. stain

from the surfaces of the washer
dryer. Using a damp cloth,
immediately remove any fine spray
residue and other residue or
droplets.
■Empty any pockets. Remove any
foreign objects.
■Remove metal parts (paper clips,
etc.).
■Trousers, knitwear and knitted
textiles, e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts

Preparing laundry for drying
Note: To ensure an even drying result,
sort the laundry according to the:
■Type of fabric
■Drying programme
■Care symbols which are indicated on
the care labels.
Only dry laundry which is labelled
“dryer-proof” or which has the following
care symbols:
■a= Dry at normal temperature
(Intensive Dry)
■`= Dry at low temperature
(Gentle Dry)
The following textiles must not be dried:
■b= care symbol “Do not dry”
■Wool or textiles containing wool.
■Delicates (silk, synthetic curtains).
■Textiles which contain foam rubber
or similar materials.
■Textiles which were treated with
flammable liquids, e.g. with stain
remover, petroleum ether, thinners.
Risk of explosion!
■Textiles which still contain hairspray
or similar substances.
Notes
■Before drying, hand-washed textiles
must be spun at the appropriate spin
speed.
■Before drying, spin at the optimum
speed. A spin speed of more than
1000 rpm is recommended for
cotton, more than 800 rpm for easy-
care textiles.
■Do not iron laundry immediately after
drying. It is recommended to roll the
laundry up first to distribute residual
moisture evenly.
■To ensure a good drying
performance, quilts, terry cloths and
other large textiles should be dried
separately. Do not dry more than 5
terry cloths (or 4 kg).
■Do not exceed the maximum load.
