Important information
Washing drying preparing/Protecting the laundry and the machine
Empty pockets.
Look out for metal items (paperclips, etc.).
Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles, e.g. Jersey garments, T-shirts or sweatshirts should
be turned inside out.

Remove as much water as possible before tumble-drying. Recommended spin speed for
cottons is more than 1000 rpm; for easy-care is more than 800 rpm.
In order to ensure uniform drying, sort the items according to fabric type and degree

items individually. Terry towels not more than 4 pieces (or 3 kg).
