• Do not wash in the appliance laundry without hems or with cuts. Use a
washing bag to wash small and/or
delicate items (e.g. underwired bras,
belts, tights, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance problems with the spin phase. If this
occurs, adjust manually the items in
the tub and start the spin phase
again.11.2  Stubborn stains
For some stains, water and detergent is
not sufficient.
We recommend that you remove these
stains before you put the items in the
appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use
the special stain remover that is
applicable to the type of stain and fabric.
11.3  Detergents and additives
