tank, perform the first wash cycle without washing. Programme:

Preparing and sorting washing
Preparing washing
• Empty the pockets. Remove foreign bodies (e.g. coins, paper clips,
nails, etc.).
• Do up zips, button up covers to prevent damage to washing.
• Remove the runners from net curtains or cover them with a net or a
bag.
• Wash delicate and small items in a net/pillowcase, e. g. net curtains,
tights, small socks, handkerchiefs, bras.
Important: Bras and other items containing wires should only be
washed in a net bag. The wires can work loose and damage the appli-
ance.
Sorting washing
• By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can
run.
• By temperature, type of washing and care symbol.
Important: Do not wash fabrics with the
G care symbol (= do not
wash!) in the washing machine.
