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.
Safety InstructionsDo not leave children unsupervised near the
washing machine.

Danger of suffocation!
Keep children away from shipping carton
and packaging components. Danger of
suffocation from folding cartons and plastic
film.
Danger!

plug. Cut offpower chord and discard with
mains plug. Break the lock on the lid as this
will prevent children from locking themselves
in and suffocating.

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.

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.

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 lettersare for dry cleaning. They provide information in regards to solvents.
The linebelow 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 valuesin the washtub correspond to the maximum water temperaturesthat are not to be
exceeded. A linebelow 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.
