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 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
95, 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.
Safety instructions
4
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the
drum. To avoid this the machine incorporates a
special feature. To activate this device, rotate the
button (without pressing it) inside the door
clockwise until the groove is horizontal. If necessary
use a coin.
To disable this device and restore the possibility of
closing the door, rotate the button anti-clockwise
until the groove is vertical.
• 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
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 garments (E60-E40).
• The machine works more economically if it is fully
loaded.
• When small loads are washed, use only half to two
thirds of the recommended amount of detergent.
• 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).
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.

Sorting out and preparing the laundry
• Sort out the laundry according to type of fabrics and
care labels (see “Types of fabric and care labels”).
• Empty pockets.
• Remove any metal parts (safety pins, clips, etc.).
• To prevent the laundry from getting damaged and
forming bundles, it is advisable to close zips, button up
pillowcases and quilt covers and tie up loose straps
such as those of aprons.
• Turn double faced items inside out (sleeping bags,
anoraks, etc.)
• Turn coloured knitted fabrics, woollens and fabrics with
trim inside out.
• Wash small and delicate items (baby socks, tights)
inside a laundry net or in a pillow case closed with a
zip, or in larger socks.
• Treat curtains with special care. Remove all metal or
plastic hooks or put them in a net or a bag. We decline
any responsibility in case of damage.
• Whites and coloureds must be washed separately:
white items can loose their whiteness.
• New coloured fabrics often have excess dyes; it is
advisable to wash them separately for the first time.
• Wash small and large items together; this improves the
washing result and the laundry is better distributed
during spinning.

Weight of laundry

ENGLISH
Which detergent and additive?
Use only detergents and additives for washing
machines. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
How much detergent?
The quantity depends on:
• the load:
if the manufacturer does not provide any
indications on the amount of detergent for small
loads, use about one third less than the suggested
amount for half loads and half the amount for very
small loads;
• the degree of soil:
use a small amount of detergent for lightly soiled
garments. Judge the amount according to the
detergent manufacturer’s instructions and size of
the load;
• the water hardness:
the harder the water, the more detergent required.
Instructions according to water hardness are given
on the detergent pack.
Liquid detergent
Liquid detergent can be poured directly into the main
wash compartment of the dispenser drawer
immediately before starting the programme, or a
special dispenser can be used that is placed directly
in the drum. Measure the detergent according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Types of fabric and care labels
The labels on garments help you to select the most
suitable wash programme. The laundry should be
sorted out according to the type of fabric and the
instructions indicated on care labels.
Temperatures indicated on labels are always
maximum temperatures.
Cotton
Linen and cottons marked with this symbol can be
washed at high temperatures.
Cotton

After each wash
• At the end of the wash programme, pull the
dispenser drawer out a little to let it dry.
• Leave the door ajar to allow air to circulate.
If the machine is not used for a prolonged
period:
•Close the water tap and unplug the appliance.
Periodical cleaning
Bodywork
• Clean the outside of the machine with warm water
and a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent.
Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.
Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer.
• Clean the drawer, from time to time, by rinsing it
under a running tap. To remove the drawer from
the machine, press the button in the rear left-hand
corner.
• To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartment can be removed.
• Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer
recess: clean it with an old toothbrush.
• Refit the drawer after cleaning.
Drain filter
The drain filter collects threads and small objects
inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that
the filter is clean.
• Place a container under the filter and unscrew it;
some water will come out of the filter.
• Pull out the filter.
• Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully in.
Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the hose from the tap.
• Clean the filter with a stiff brush.
• Screw the hose back onto the tap.

Cleaning and maintenance

ENGLISH
17
Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (pump is blocked, filter
or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
• pull out the plug from the power socket;
• close the water tap;
• if necessary, wait until the water has cooled;
• place a bowl on the floor;
• put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the
water come out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the drain
hose because, for example the appliance is built in
the kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter
after placing a bowl on the floor to let the water come
out slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.
Frost precautions
If the machine is installed in a place where the
temperature could drop below 0°C, proceed as
follows:
• Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet
hose from the tap.
• Place the end of the drain hose and the inlet hose
in a bowl placed on the floor.
• Select the DRAIN programme and run it until
the machine stops.
• Turn the programme selector dial to RESET O.
• Press the ON/OFF button to switch the
machine off.
• Remove the plug from the power socket.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the
drain hose back in its place.
By doing this, any water remaining in the machine is
removed, avoiding the formation of ice and,
consequently, breakage of the parts involved.
When you use the machine again, make sure that
the ambient temperature is above 0°C.

If, during the spin cycle, the machine makes an unusual whistling noise, different from the
noise made by traditional washing machines, this is due to a new type of motor.
If water is not visible in the drum, this is due to the modern technology of new washing
machines that use less water than traditional machines.
Troubleshooting
If a problem arises, you can try to solve it yourself following the instructions below. If
you call out an engineer when one of the following problems arises, or to repair a fault due to incorrect use, the
call-out will be charged even if requested within the guarantee period.
During machine operation the following alarm codes may be displayed:
-EE1100: problem with the water supply
-EE2200: problem with water draining
-EE4400: door open
At the same time the buzzer sounds.
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after
all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.

ENGLISH
19
Problem
• The machine does not
empty and/or does not
spin.
• There is water on the floor.
Possible cause
• Too much detergent has been
used.
• An unsuitable detergent has been
used that creates too much foam.
• One of the connectors on the
water inlet hose is leaking.
• The drain filter has not been
properly screwed on after
cleaning.
Solution
• The drain hose is squashed or
kinked (EE2200).
• The drain filter or the drain hose
are clogged (EE2200).
• The RINSE HOLD option or
(NO SPIN) has been selected.
• The laundry is not evenly
distributed inside the drum.
• The machine vibrates or is
noisy.
• The transit bolts have not been
removed.
• The feet have not been adjusted.
• There is little laundry in the drum.
• Check that the machine has been
unpacked as described in the
Installation section.
• Carefully level the machine.
• Correct operation of the machine
is not affected.
• The door will not open. • The programme is still running.
• The water level is above the
bottom edge of the door.
• The machine is heating the water.
• Wait until the end of the
programme before opening the
door.
• Before opening the door, the
water must be emptied out.
• Wait until the end of the heating
phase.
• Check the whole length of the
hose and remove the kink.
• Clean the filter or check the hose.
• Empty out the water.
• Redistribute the laundry manually
in the drum.
• Measure detergent according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use a suitable washing machine
detergent.
• Check that the hose is firmly
screwed on at both ends.
• Fully screw the filter into place.

20
Problem
• Spinning starts late or the
machine does not spin.
Possible cause Solution
• The unbalance detection device
that prevents excessive vibration
during spinning and ensures a
stable position has cut in.
• If the laundry is not evenly
distributed inside the drum at the
beginning of the spin cycle, the
machine detects this and tries to
redistribute it more evenly by
means of a few drum rotations.
Only when the laundry is more
evenly distributed will the spin
cycle be performed, eventually at
a lower speed, if the laundry is
not yet evenly distributed. If, after
about 10 minutes, the laundry is
still tangled, the machine will not
spin. Therefore, if the laundry is
still wet at the end of the cycle, it
is advisable to redistribute it
manually inside the drum and to
select the spin programme again.
Unsatisfactory washing results
If the laundry looks grey and lime scale is found
in the drum
• Too little detergent has been used.
• An unsuitable detergent has been used.
• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to
washing.
• The programme/temperature has not been
correctly selected.
If grey stains remain on the laundry
• Laundry stained with ointments, grease or oil has
been washed with an insufficient amount of
detergent.
• The temperature selected for the wash programme
was too low.
• Fabric softener - especially the concentrated type -
has come into direct contact with the laundry.
Wash these stains immediately and pour fabric
softener carefully.
Foam is still visible even after the last rinse
• Modern detergents often produce foam, even in
the last rinse. However the laundry has been
completely rinsed.
White residue is left on the laundry
• This is due to insoluble components in modern
detergents and is therefore not the result of
insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the laundry. In
future, it may be better to turn garments inside out
before washing them. Check the choice of
detergent; try using liquid detergents.
