Otherwise, the white washing may be colored or look gray. New clothes very often have too much color. Preferably wash new clothes separately for the first time. Respect "wash separately" and "wash several times separately" care instructions. Empty pockets and spread out the washing. Take off all loose buttons, pins and hooks and eyes. Close zip fasteners, tie knots in laces and straps. Turn clothes made of several layers of textiles (sleeping bags, anoraks, etc. ), colored hosiery and wool and textiles with add-on decorations, inside out. Wash small delicate items (socks, tights, bras, etc) in a washing net. Remove curtain hooks and put net curtains in a net bag or a sachet. 5. 3. Detergents and additives Only use detergents and additives suitable for use in a washing machine. Read the manufacturer's instructions and respect sections 2. 1 and 3. 2. Powder detergents can be used without restriction; liquid detergents should be poured either in the proportioning bowl directly in the drum, or in the wash compartment provided that the washing machine is started immediately; detergents in tablets or doses must be put into the wash compartment of the detergents dispenser in your washing machine. The quantity of detergent to be used depends on the amount of washing to be washed, the hardness of the water and how dirty the washing is. If the water is soft, you can reduce the doses slightly. Increase the doses slightly if the water is hard (it is recommended to use a water softener) or if the washing is very dirty or stained. You can ask the water distribution company in your region or any other competent authority to find out the degree of hardness of your water. · · · · · · · 5. 2.

If you want to move your washing machine, lift it onto its rollers by pulling the lever at the bottom of the washing machine all the way to the left. When you have put your washing machine into the required location, put the lever back into its initial position. Open the washing machine lid and remove the immobilization packing and plastic films. Leveling Precise leveling will prevent vibrations, noise and movements of the washing machine during operation. [. . . ]
