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
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.
Safety instructions
4
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.

Discarding
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 garments.
• 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).

Front view
Description of the appliance
• Programme and temperature setting using the
programme selector.
•Energy saving programme for normally soiled
cotton and synthetic items.
•Speed for the final spin can be reduced to 900-
700 or 500 rpm.
•RINSE HOLD can be added: the laundry is left
immersed in the final rinse water to avoid the
formation of creases.
•The possibility of selecting all the other options
offered by this machine gives you truly “customised
washing”.
•Delay timer: programme start can be delayed by 1
to max. 24 hours (e.g. to times with a more
economical power rate).
•Programme progress display showing the
programme steps selected and the programme
phase which is running.
• Because of its gentle washing action, the special
wool cycle washes your garments with extreme
care, without felting them.
•3-compartment drawer for detergent and fabric
softener.
•Unbalance detection device: secure position and
silent operation of the appliance.

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.
Preparing the wash cycle
