The safety of KÜPPERSBUSCH appliances
complies with the industry standards and with legal
requirements on the safety of appliances. However,
as manufacturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the
following safety notes.
General safety
• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by
qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons could cause serious
danger. Contact your local Service Centre.
• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance operations.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the
plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug
itself.
• Never spray the machine with a jet of water.
Danger of electric shock!
• During high temperature wash programmes and
drying the door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!
• Let the water cool down before carrying out
emergency emptying or before opening the door in
an emergency.
Positioning, connection, starting up
• Follow the instructions for positioning and
connection.
• Carry out a first wash without laundry (COTTONS
60, with half the amount of detergent) in order to
remove any manufacturing residue from the tub
and the drum.
• Should the machine be purchased in winter, when
temperatures can be below 0°, leave the appliance
for 24 hours at ambient temperature before starting
it.

Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous
electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, they should be carefully supervised and
not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is
a risk that they could become trapped inside.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger
of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s
reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into
the drum.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with
the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside while playing.
Proper use
• This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If
the machine is used for any other purposes or is
not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no
responsibility for any possible damage that might
occur.
• For safety reasons, the appliance must not be
modified.
• Use only detergents suitable for washing machines
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Garments which have been in contact with
flammable solvents should not be machine
washed.
• Do not use your machine for dry cleaning.
• Dyes and bleaching agents may only be used if
specifically permitted by the manufacturer of these
products. We cannot be held responsible for any
damage.
• Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water
tap after use.

Tips for environmental protection
Packaging materials
The materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.
>PE<=polyethylene
>PS<=polystyrene
>PP<=polypropylene
This means that they can be recycled by disposing of
them properly in appropriate collection containers.
Machine
Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.
Help to keep your country tidy!
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).
• Use the energy saving programme when washing
normally soiled cotton garments.
• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded (for both washing and drying cycles).
• When small loads are washed, use only half to two
thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.
• The machine will consume less energy if the
laundry is adequately spun before being dried.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited
soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be
washed at a lower temperature.
• If the water has a medium or high degree of
hardness (starting from degree of hardness II, see
“Detergents and additives”) water softeners must
be added.
The amount of detergent can then be adjusted to
degree of hardness I (= soft).
