Basic washing tips

Preparing the laundry

  • Remove tissues and foreign objects such as needles, nails, coins, matches, paper clips, clips or similar from your pockets. Turn the pockets inside out if necessary and brush them out.
  • Turn trousers, knitwear, T-shirts and track-suits "inside out" to protect the surface material.
  • Repair unstitched seams and tears before washing; sew up loose buttons tightly. Close zippers; tie apron strings etc.

Sorting through laundry

The washing instructions of the textile manufacturer/the international care symbols on the labels contain precise information about how to handle each piece of laundry.

We recommend sorting through the laundry according to the following criteria:

- Type of fabric

– Hot wash/coloured wash (cotton)
- Easy-care textiles
– Delicates, wool and hand wash

- Colour

  • Wash white laundry separately, otherwise it will turn grey.
    – Wash new dark pieces separately at first, as they lose their colour a lot the first few times they are washed.

– Degree of soiling

  • If possible, remove stains when still fresh, otherwise they will become particularly stubborn.
  • It is best to pre-treat stains with water and ox-gall soap.

Tips for delicate textiles

- Curtains

  • Remove the curtains' plastic and metal hooks before washing.
  • Handle curtains especially carefully; it is easy to get loose threads. Only put them on a spin cycle if this is specified in the textile label.

- Wash small and delicate pieces, such as baby socks, stockings and underwire bras, in a small pillowcase or small washbag.

The right washing load

The amount of laundry that can be loaded depends on the type and soiling of your laundry and the respective wash cycle (see page EN-16).

As a rule of thumb: Load dry washing up to one hand width below the upper edge of the drum. If you overfill the drum, it may affect the outcome of your wash.

It is best to weigh your washing before you do the wash. Some washing weights can be found in the following table:

Typical washing weights
Bed sheets Approx. 550 g
Duvet covers Approx. 700 g
Cushion covers Approx. 180 g
Tablecloths Approx. 250 g
Terry towels Approx. 200 g
Tea towels Approx. 90 g
Men's shirts Approx. 250 g
Women's nighties Approx. 180 g
Pyjamas Approx. 450 g
Bathrobes Approx. 1200 g
Work overalls (synthetic)Approx. 300 g
HandkerchiefsApprox. 20 g

The right washing detergent

- Do not use other cleaning agents, such as scouring powder, household cleaners, etc. These will damage the appliance and your laundry.

Fabric-care products

  • Do not use fabric softener in the same wash cycle as starch, fabric conditioner, or finishes.
    – Before dispensing viscous fabric-care products, mix them together with a little water to thin them out.
  • Only use powder starch according to the instructions on the packet and not with high temperatures, or it may form clumps.

The right dosage

The motto “more is better” does not apply to detergents and fabric-care products. They must be dosed properly to achieve the perfect wash result. Here are some tips:

  • If necessary, use a smaller dosage of detergents and fabric-care products if the drum is not filled completely. For example, for half loads, only use about half the amount needed for a full drum.
  • Always adjust the amount of detergent to the respective hardness of the water. If your tap water is soft, you need less detergent. Information about the water hardness in your area is provided by the waterworks responsible. The water hardness is also shown on the invoice from your water supplier.
  • Dose detergent according to how dirty your laundry is. Laundry that is less dirty requires less detergent.
    – Highly concentrated detergent (also known as compact detergent) in particular requires accurate dosage. Even minor differences can have significant effects.

The following wash results are a sign of incorrect dosage of detergent.

Too much detergent:

– Heavy foam formation
– Poor washing and rinsing result
– Skin irritation caused by leftover detergent in the clothing

Not enough detergent

– Laundry turns grey
- “Grease marks” (grey clumps of grease and dirt) on laundry
– Build-up of limescale deposits in the drum, heating elements and/or laundry

Environmentally friendly washing

– The most efficient cycles with regard to energy and water consumption are generally those with a longer duration and lower temperatures.
- The ECO 40–60 and 20 °C cycles are efficient in terms of combined energy and water consumption:
- The ECO 40–60 cycle is suitable for cleaning normally soiled cotton laundry that is declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C and that can be washed together.
- The 20^ cycle is suitable for cleaning lightly soiled cotton laundry that can be washed at a nominal temperature of 20^ .
- You can save energy and water if you use the specified maximum amount of laundry.

Waste prevention, free return and disposal

Waste prevention

According to the provisions of Directive 2008/98/EC, waste prevention measures always take priority over waste management.

For electrical and electronic devices, waste prevention measures include extending the lifespan of defective devices through repair and reselling used working appliances instead of disposing of them.

Please help us reduce waste and contact our customer service if your product is faulty.

More information can be found in the brochure "Waste Prevention Programme – of the German Government with the Involvement of the Federal Länder".

Free return of old electrical appliances

Upon purchasing a new electrical appliance of the same type with essentially the same function, consumers may return an old electrical appliance to a distributor obliged to take back old appliances, at no extra cost for the consumers. This option also exists for deliveries made to a private household. For distance selling, the option of having old electrical equipment collected for free applies only in the case of purchase of new electrical equipment with heat exchangers (e.g. refrigerators, dehumidifiers), screens and display devices with a screen surface > 100 cm ^2 , and large devices with at least one of its external dimensions measuring more than 50 cm.

In addition, consumers may return up to three old electrical appliances of the same type to a distributor's collection point for free, without having to purchase a new electrical appliance. In this case, however, the old appliances' external dimensions may not exceed 25 cm.

Disposal

Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally friendly manner

Hanseatic HTWK712A - Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally friendly manner - 1

Electrical appliances contain harmful substances as well as valuable resources.

Hanseatic HTWK712A - Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally friendly manner - 2

Every consumer is therefore required by law to dispose of old electrical

appliances at an authorised collection or return point. They will thus be made available for environmentally-sound, resource-saving recycling.

You can dispose of old electrical appliances free of charge at your local recycling centre.

Please contact your dealer directly for more information about this topic.

Don't forget to erase data!

If necessary, each consumer is responsible for erasing personal data from electrical and electronic equipment.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries, lamps and bulbs

If necessary, old single-use and rechargeable batteries that are not encased by an old electrical appliance, as well as lamps/bulbs that can be removed from an old electrical appliance without being destroyed, must be removed and disposed of separately before you return the appliance.

Hanseatic HTWK712A - Batteries and rechargeable batteries, lamps and bulbs - 1

This symbol means that batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with other hou-

sehold waste.

Consumers are required by law to bring all batteries and rechargeable batteries, regardless of whether they contain harmful substances*) or not, to a collection point operated by their communal authority or borough or to a retailer, so that they can be disposed of in an

environmentally friendly manner and so that valuable resources (e.g. cobalt, nickel or copper) can be recovered.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge.

Some of the possible contents (e.g. mercury, cadmium and lead) are toxic and, if improperly disposed of, can have adverse effects on the environment. Heavy metals, for instance, can have detrimental health effects on humans, animals and plants and accumulate in the environment and food chain, and then enter the body indirectly through the consumption of food.

There is a high risk of fire with old lithium batteries. Special care must therefore be taken to properly dispose of old lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries. Improper disposal can also lead to internal and external short circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or an explosion and have serious consequences for people and the environment. It is therefore important to tape off the poles of lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries before disposing of them to prevent an external short circuit.

Before disposing of the appliance, batteries and rechargeable batteries which are not permanently built into the appliance must be removed and disposed of separately.

Please only dispose of batteries and rechargeable batteries in a discharged state!

If possible, use rechargeable batteries in place of disposable batteries.
