Choose your detergent relevant to the laundry you want to wash (cotton, wool,
synthetic etc.), the temperature and the level of contamination; otherwise a strong
formation of bubbles may occur. Bleachers are alkaline and may damage your
clothes. Use as less detergent as necessary. Powdery detergents may remain in your
clothes, so rinse them thoroughly. If you use too much detergent or if the water-
temperature is too low, the detergent will not dissolve completely; so residuals of
the detergent may remain in the clothes, the hoses and the appliance itself.
Customise the washing procedures relevant to amount and grade of contamination
of the laundry, your local water hardness and the information given on the
packaging of your detergent. For information about the water hardness, ask your
local water supplier. Store your detergents in a safe and dry place out of the reach
of children.
1. Empty all pockets of each piece of your laundry.
2. Classify the laundry relevant to the labels: cotton, blended fabric, synthetic, silk,
wool, man-made fibres.

7. Wash clothes with buttons or embroideries inside out.

retailers; fig. 1).
12. When you want to wash a single, big piece of laundry (e.g. a jacket or jeans), an
imbalance in the drum may be generated. Always add 1 or 2 other pieces of
laundry to ensure consistent operation (fig. 2).
