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........................6 kg
Easy Care............................................2.5 kg
Delicates..............................................2.0 kg
Wool/Silk ............................................2.0 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.
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.
the washing machine may be used by children
over the age of 8 years old and by persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capacity or by persons with a lack of
experience or knowledge if they are
supervised or have been instructed by a
responsible person.
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

International Laundry Care Symbols
In order to assist you in caring for your clothes, these carry 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 (tumble 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 an 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.

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.
The main wash compartment can hold
powder as well as liquid. However, do not
use liquid detergent for the program WITH
Prewash and/or WITH ”Delayed Start“.
Concentrated fabric softener must be
diluted with warm water!
Do not exceed the level indicated by MAX.
Do not put detergent directly into the drum.
Loading detergent
Use the amount of detergent appropriate for
- The hardness of the water. The hardness of
the water can be found from the water utility
company.
- The size of the load.
- The degree of soiling.
- The specifications of the detergent
manufacturer.
Put liquid detergent in the appropriate
dispenser.
Risk of poisoning!
Keep detergents and additives out of the
reach of children.

machine-washable silk.
Sportswear
This programme enables efficient washing of
your sports and casual wear containing
elastane. Thanks to the customised washing
rhythm, as well as the adapted temperature
and spin speed, the elasticity of these
fabrics is maintained.
Shirts / Business
This programme is designed especially for
washing 6 shirts with optimum efficiency,
and ensures that the shirts do not crease as
much.
Dark Wash
This programme is particularly suitable for
washing dark-coloured laundry. The
temperature is limited to 40°C, the water
flow increased and the spin speed reduced
in order to retain the colour and minimise
creasing.
Hygiene
For especially sensitive skin. For hard-
wearing textiles made of cotton or linen.
Washing at a selected temperature with a
greater water flow and additional rinsing.
Additional programme selections
Rinse
Separate rinse cycle with subsequent spin
for Easy Care textiles.
Empty /Spin
Separate spin cycle. Detergent solution or
water used for rinsing are drained before the
spin cycle starts.
When choosing ”rinsing” and
”spinning” programmes, note the
appropriate spin speed, see Chart
page 23.

This option washes your laundry more
gently, but with an identical washing
performance. The spin speed is slower so
that your laundry creases less.
