Laundry Preparing the laundry NOTICE: Damage to the appliance/fabrics Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper-clips, needles, nails) may damage the laundry or components in the washing machine. Therefore, note the following tips when preparing your laundry: ▯ Empty all pockets to ensure no loose debris (coins, keys, other hard objects) are placed in the washer drum. ▯ Close any fasteners (such as zippers and hooks) that could cause laundry to catch or become entangled. ▯ Remove any foreign objects or non-washable parts. ▯ Turn trousers and knitted wear inside out prior to washing. ▯ Place small items (such as socks and handkerchiefs) and underwired bras into a mesh bag prior to washing. Sorting the Laundry Sort laundry items according to color, degree of soiling and recommended wash temperature range. Wash white items separately from colored items. Otherwise, white items may tend to become grey. Observe laundry care labels H[WUDKRW KRW ZDUP FROG Check the care labels on each laundry item prior to washing.
