Safety Instructions
Protection of the environment/Hints and tips
Your washing machine uses water, energy
and detergent efficiently. This protects our
environment and reduces your household
costs.
To use your washing machine in an efficient
and environmentally friendly manner:
•
Do not exceed recommended loads.
Cottons and Coloureds ....................5.0 kg
Easy Care............................................2.5 kg
Delicates/Silk......................................1.0 kg
Woollens..............................................1.5 kg
With smaller amounts of laundry, the load
adjust reduces the water and energy
consumption.
•
Instead of ”Cottons 90°C”, select the
”60°C” programme + the ”Intensive”*
pushbutton. The extended washing time of
this 60°C programme achieves a cleaning
result comparable to that of the 90°C
programme, but uses considerably less
energy.
•
Do not use Prewash* for lightly to normally
soiled washing.
•
Use detergent according to Pollution
index, amount of laundry and water
hardness and follow the manufacturer's
directions.
* Depending upon the model.
Intended use
Your washing machine is intended
•
strictly for household use
•
for washing machine washable fabrics in
water
•
for use with cold drinking water and
standard commercial washing and
cleaning products that are suitable for use
in washing machines.
Safety Instructions
Do not leave children unsupervised near the
washing machine.
Keep pets away from the washing machine.
Do not insert/pull out the mains plug with
wet hands.

Follow the installation instructions.
Danger of suffocation!

and packaging components. Danger of
suffocation from folding cartons and plastic
film.
Danger!
On out-of-service appliances, unplug mains
plug. Cut off power chord and discard with
mains plug. Break the lock on the lid as this
will prevent children from locking themselves
in and suffocating.

We recommend retaining all transport
securing devices since these will have to

Before leaving the factory, the washing
machine was carefully inspected. It is
possible that some water from testing
remains in the appliance or in the
detergent compartments.
(depending upon the model)
If the machine is fitted with hidden castors,
it can easily be moved.
To place the machine on the castors, turn
the lever on the bottom to the left until it
encounters a limit stop
(Figure 5)
.
During operation, the machine must
always rest firmly on its feet (lever to the
right).

Connections
Electrical connections
Connect the washing machine only to
alternating current via a properly installed
earthed socket.
The mains voltage must correspond to the
voltage specification on the washing
machine (identification plate).
Connection specifications as well as the
required fuses are stipulated on the
appliance identification plate.
Ensure that:
• the mains plug and socket are compatible,
• the cable cross-section is adequate,
• the earthing system has been installed
correctly.
Do not use multiple plugs/sockets or
extension cables.
If a residual current circuit breaker is used,
only use one that has this symbol:
.
Only this symbol can guarantee compliance
with all applicable regulations.
Do not insert/pull out the mains plug with
wet hands.
Do not pull out the mains plug by tugging the
cable.
Installation
Safety Instructions
Risk of Injury!
The washing machine is very heavy. Take
care when lifting it.
Frozen hoses may tear or burst. Do not
install the washing machine in an area
where there is a risk of freezing or
outdoors.
Do not lift up on any protruding components.
The washing machine may be damaged.
In addition to the safety information listed here,
the local water and electricity supplier may
have special requirements.
If in doubt, have the appliance connected by
a specialist.
Installation surface
Stability is important so that the washing
machine does not "wander" during spin
cycles.
Surfaces used for installation must be solid
and even.
Soft floor coverings are not recommended,
i.e. carpets or floors with foam
backing.
Adjustable feet:
(depending upon the model)
Some appliances have two adjustable feet
available at the front with can be used to
correct for surface unevenness. Level and
stabilise the machine in the following
manner:
- Tip the washing machine gently
backwards.
- Depending upon the type of floor, rotate the
foot or feet in or out
(Figure 8)
.
- Check the washing machine for stability.

Changing the mains lead
For reasons of safety, the mains lead is only
to be replaced by Customer Service which
is authorised to do so.

International Laundry Care Symbols
In order to assist you in taking care of your textiles, these contain a label with the necessary
information. The information is given by the following symbols :
©
COFREET
Before the first washing - wash once without laundry articles
Before you wash laundry for the first time, we suggest running the ”COTTONS 90°C without
Prewash“ wash cycle without laundry and with 1/2 measuring cup of detergent. In this
way, any water left over from testing the machine will be removed.
The dots indicate the drying levels of the tumbler (laundry dryer).
The letters are for dry cleaning. They provide information in regards to solvents.
The line below the circle indicates that a reduction of mechanical action, moisture and temperature
is required during cleaning.
The dots indicate the temperature ranges of the automatically controlled iron.
The values in the washtub correspond to the maximum water temperatures that are not to be
exceeded. A line below the washtub indicates gentle (mechanical) handling (for example, washing
with slow rhythm). It denotes wash cycles that are suitable, for example, for Easy-Care and delicate
articles.

Treating stubborn stains
USING STAIN REMOVERS:
To avoid the risk of a fire or explosion:
(*) When using the solutions mentioned above, rinse the articles thoroughly before putting
them into the washing machine.
- Strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions when using common stain removers.
Perspiration, blood, fruit, wine and chocolate stains are generally removed by using detergents
with biologically active ingredients. Other stains however require special treatment before washing.
First test on an inconspicuous area of the article and then rinse thoroughly. When applying
stain remover, always start from the outside to avoid forming a border.
After stained fabrics have been washed and then dried in the dryer or ironed, the stains
can no longer be removed.
GRASS: Dab the stain with clear vinegar or 90
percent alcohol* (if the material permits), rinse
out and wash.
BALLPOINT PEN - FELT TIP: Dab the stain with
paper towels to absorb as much ink as
possible. Put a white, clean cloth under the
stain and then dab it with another cloth. For
synthetics, the second cloth should be
moistened with clear vinegar; for other fibres
with 90 percent alcohol* (in so far as the
material allows).
RUST: Sprinkle light stains with salt. Sprinkle
the salt with lemon juice and let work overnight.
Next day, rinse thoroughly and wash. For larger
stains, use a special rust remover, paying
especial attention to the manufacturer's
instructions.
CHEWING GUM: Cool down with an ice cube.
As soon as it is hard enough, remove using
your fingernails. Remove the border that
remains using a grease remover*.
AUTOMOBILE GREASE - TAR: Use spot
remover*. If none is available, smear the stain
with some fresh butter, let work and then dab
with oil of turpentine*.
PAINT: Do not allow paint stains to dry;
immediately treat with the solvent indicated on the
paint can (water, turpentine*, light petrol*). Soap
and rinse out.
CANDLE WAX: Scrape off most of the stain.
Then put paper towels on both sides of the item
and melt the remaining wax using an iron.
MAKE-UP: Lay the side of the material with the
stain on a piece of paper towel and moisten the
other side of the article with 90 percent
alcohol* insofar as the item permits and the
stain is not greasy. Otherwise, use a grease
solvent (e.g. trichloroethylene*).
COFFEE - TEA:
-
On white cottons: dab the stain with hydrogen
peroxide* and afterwards wash as usual.
-
On coloured cottons: dab the stain with
a vinegar solution (2 tablespoons of clear
vinegar in ¼ litre of water) and afterwards
wash as usual.
-
On woollens: dab the stain with a mixture of
equal parts of alcohol* and clear vinegar and
afterwards wash the article.
CHOCOLATE - FRUIT - FRUIT JUICE - WINE:
Dab the stain with a vinegar solution
(2 tablespoons of clear vinegar in ¼ litre of
water). Rinse thoroughly and wash as usual.
GREASE: Immediately sprinkle talcum powder
on the material. Let dry and gently brush off the
talcum powder. Then dab with a grease solvent,
such as gasoline*. Rinse out and wash as usual
BLOOD: Immerse the stained item in cold salt
water as quickly as possible; afterwards wash
as usual.
KETCHUP - TOMATO SAUCE: Prepare
a solution of 50% glycerine and 50% warm
water. Soak the item for an hour and afterwards
wash as usual.
