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 ....................5.5 kg
Easy Care............................................2.5 kg
Delicates/Silk......................................1.0 kg
Woollens..............................................1.5 kg
Automatic load sensing reduces the water
and energy consumption, as well as the
programme duration, for smaller loads.
•
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.

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 danger 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 equal parts glycerine and warm
water. Soak the item for an hour and
afterwards wash as usual.

To prepare the laundry
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paperclips,
needles, nails) may damage laundry items
or washing machine components (the drum
for example).
• Empty the pockets of the laundry items.
• Brush sand out of pockets and
cuffs/turn-ups.
• Close zippers, button covers.
• Remove curtain rollers or tie up in
a net/bag.
• In a net/cushion cover, wash:
- Delicate items e.g. tights, curtains,
- Small laundry items, e.g. socks or
handkerchiefs
- Underwired bras (underwires may
become detached during washing and
cause damage). )
• Trousers, knitwear and knitted textiles,
e.g. jersey garments, T-shirts or
sweatshirts, should be turned inside out.
13
Loading the wash
Danger of explosion!
If laundry treated with cleaning agents
containing solvents, e.g. stain removers or
benzene, is loaded into the washing
machine, an explosion may result.
Thoroughly rinse out laundry items in
advance by hand.
Foreign objects in the washing drum
may damage laundry. Check the drum
for foreign objects before putting in the
laundry.
Opening the washing machine
• Lift handle to open.
• Press button to open the drum lid.
• Unfold pre-sorted laundry items and
loosely load into the washing drum. Mix
large and small items.
Laundry items of different sizes distribute
themselves better during the spin cycle.
Do not exceed suggested loads (see also
PROGRAMME CHART). Overfilling reduces
washing efficiency and promotes creasing.
Water and energy consumption by the
washing machine is automatically reduced
for smaller loads.
• Close drum lid.
Do not wedge laundry items between the
drum and the drum lid.
Ensure that the drum lid is properly
closed.

Safety features
20
Lid opening safeguards:
After the programme starts, the appliance lid
is locked.
After the programme ends or during ”Rinse
Stop“, the lid is unlocked.
Depending upon the model: Depending upon
the model, if a ”Delayed Start“ was
programmed, the lid remains unlocked
during the entire waiting period before the
start of the programme.
If the lid is to be opened during the
programme, quickly push the ”Start“ - button
and wait approximately 1 to 2 minutes until
the lid safety unlocks.
In order to avoid scalding, the lid remains
locked until the wash water has cooled
down somewhat.
Water safeguards:
During operation, the constant water level
control prevents possible overflows.
Spin safeguards:
The washing machine is equipped with
a safety feature that can reduce the spin
speed if imbalanced loading occurs.
In this case, the laundry may be insufficiently
spun dry. Evenly distribute the laundry in the
drum and programme a new spin cycle.
Safeguards against excess
foaming:
Too much foam may be produced in your
washing machine during spinning.
In this case, the spinning is stopped and the
machine is drained.
The programme continues. The spin speed is
adjusted and an additional rinse cycle is
performed.
