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 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.

Discarding

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Tips for environmental protection

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy!

ENGLISH

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).

• 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.

Programme Option buttons

Depending on the programme, different functions can be combined. These must be selected after choosing the desired programme and before depressing the START/PAUSE button.

When these buttons are pressed, the corresponding pilot lights come on. When they are pressed again, the pilot lights go out.

If an incorrect option is selected, the pilot lights flash for about 2 seconds and the message Err is displayed. An acoustic signal rings.

3 SPIN SPEED

Press this button to reduce the maximum speed of the final speed proposed by the machine for the selected programme or to select NO SPIN option .

The maximum spin speed for cotton is 1200 rpm, for synthetics and wool 900 rpm and for delicates 700 rpm.

Select NO SPIN option for extremely delicate items (curtains, for example).

This option cannot be selected for cotton.

4 PREWASH

The machine performs a prewash cycle at 30°C max. The prewash cycle ends with a short spin in programmes for Cotton and Synthetics , and with emptying of the water only for Delicates .

This option is not available with the wool programme.

5 QUICK

By pressing this button the washing time is reduced. For use when washing lightly soiled laundry.

This option is not available with the wool and Economy programme.

6 RINSE PLUS

of 3. This option is recommended for people who are

allergic to detergents and in areas where the water is very soft.

7 RINSE HOLD

When this button is pressed, the last rinse water is not emptied out, to prevent the fabrics from creasing. When the programme has finished, the corresponding pilot light on the programme progress display is on. The light of the START/PAUSE button flashes to indicate that the water must be emptied out.

To empty out water:

• press the START/PAUSE button: after emptying, the machine performs the spin cycle required for the type of wash selected;

• select the SPIN SPEED and press the START/PAUSE button;

• select the DRAIN programme to empty out the water without spinning.

Warning! The programme selector dial must be turned first to RESET O and then to the DRAIN programme .

If the water is not emptied out, the machine automatically empties itself after 18 hours.

8 “BIO” button

This function can be selected for cotton and synthetics with a washing temperature of 40 or more degrees. The machine will maintain a temperature of 40° for about 10 minutes to enable the enzymes contained in the detergent to eliminate the dirt. To be used for laundry with “stubborn” stains.

10 Display

The display shows the following information:

• if the programme selector dial is on the RESET O position, three flashing dashes appear immediately after pressing the ON/OFF button to indicate that the machine is ready to receive instructions for the required wash programme;

• Duration of the selected wash programme, calculated automatically on the basis of the maximum recommended load for each type of fabric.

• When the programme has finished, a flashing zero is displayed;

• Delayed start, programmed using the special button.

The selected delay (24 hours max.) is indicated in the display. The countdown is updated every hour.

• Incorrect option selection. If an option which is not compatible with the set wash programme is selected, the message Err is displayed for 2 seconds.

• Alarm code indicating a fault in the machine operation (see pages 18-20).

9 DELAY START button

This button allows starting of the machine to be delayed from 1 hour up to a maximum of 24 hours.

The button must be pressed after selecting the programme and before pressing the START/PAUSE button.

The figures indicating the required delay appear for about 3 seconds in the display. The duration of the selected wash programme is then displayed. After depressing the START/PAUSE button, the machine starts its countdown (in hours).

To modify or cancel the preset delay, press the START/PAUSE button, then press the DELAY START button until the required value is displayed or, if you wish to cancel the delay, until the symbol 0 h is displayed.

Then press the START/PAUSE button again. When the delay is cancelled, the display shows the

duration of the wash programme previously selected.

11 START/PAUSE button

This button has three functions: a) Start

After having selected the required programme, press this button to start the machine; the corresponding pilot light stops flashing.

b) Pause To interrupt a programme which is running, press the START/PAUSE button: the corresponding pilot light will start to flash.

To restart the programme from the point at which it was interrupted, press the START/PAUSE button again.

c) Empty out water At the end of a programme which ends with water in the drum (RINSE HOLD option), or after the “soak” programme , press the START/PAUSE button to empty out the water: after the soak programme, the machine will empty only; after RINSE HOLD programmes, the machine will empty and spin.
