Safety instructions

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°C, 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. 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.

Discarding
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.
• 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).

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.
• Shake out garments before putting them into the
machine.
• Insert each garment separately.

Adding a water softener
(descaling product)
A water softener must be added when water has a
medium-high degree of hardness (from degree of
hardness II). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
The quantity of detergent can then always be
adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft). Information
on water hardness can be obtained from your local
water supply authority.
Information on water hardness
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.

Attention!
Never tumble dry items that have been in contact
with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid. These
are of a volatile nature and could cause an
explosion. Dry only fabrics washed in water.
Drying symbols on garment labels
Always look at the garment label to check whether
garments can be machine dried.
The following symbols refer to drying:
Machine drying is usually possible
Normal drying (normal temperature)
Gentle drying (reduced temperature)

The drying time can vary according to
• the final spin speed;
• the required degree of drying (extra dry, only for
cottons, store dry or iron dry);
• the type of laundry;
• the size of load.
The usual drying times are indicated in the
programme chart. As you become more familiar with
the appliance, you will discover the drying times that
best suit your needs according to the various type of
fabric. It is a good idea to make a note of these
times.
Fibre residue
After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new towels, it is
advisable to perform the gentle rinse cycle to be
sure that any residue that may remain in
the tub is completely removed and does not stick to
garments dried afterwards.
After each drying cycle the filter should be
checked and cleaned.
