Before The First Wash Cycle
Preparing The Wash
1. Sort the laundry according
to...
• Type of fabric / care label
symbol
Cottons, mixed fibres, easy
care/synthetics, wool,
handwashed items
• Colours
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
Wash small items (e.g. nylon
stockings, belts 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
2. Empty all pockets
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.
