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 maximum load.
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.
• Where possible, use the ”60°C” +
”Intensive Stains” programme instead of
the ”Cottons+Linens 90°C” programme.
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.
• Add detergent according to the degree
of soiling, amount of laundry and water
hardness, and observe the detergent
manufacturer's instructions.
* Depending upon the model.
Intended use
Introducing your washing machine
• for household use only
• for washing machine-washable fabrics in
a detergent and water solution
• operation with cold tap water and
commercially available detergents and
cleaning products which are suitable for
use in washing machines.

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° 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, humidity 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
rhythmn). It denotes wash cycles that are suitable, for example, for Easy-Care and delicate articles.
