Preparation Of The Laundry - Pkm WA5-E1008 Bedienungsanleitung

1. Check the colourfastness of coloured clothes. Wash clothes, which easily loose
colour, separately.
2. Check if your laundry needs special washing and select the relevant
programme.
3. You find further information on the labels of your clothes if and how your
clothes are suitable to be washed in a washer.
4. Do not leave any laundry in the washer a longer period of time; otherwise the
laundry becomes musty and will mould.
5. Not suitable to be washed in a washer are:
a. ties, waistcoats, coats and clothes, which will shrink easily and clothes with
such components, e.g. stickers, lace etc.
b. Crease-resistant clothes, clothes with imprints or lamination.
c. Crease-resistant silk, clothes with fur components, fur.
d. Clothes, which easily loose colour, e.g. gowns or traditional costumes.
e. Clothes contaminated with gas, petrol, paint thinner or alcohol etc.
f. Waterproof objects, e.g. skiing suits, sleeping bags, rain coats etc.
6. Empty the pockets of each piece of your laundry.
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.
3. Wash clothes of different size together; so you maximise the efficiency of the
appliance.
4. Wash delicate clothes separately. Select a gentle programme for silk and wool.
5. Sort your laundry before washing.
