Helpful hints and tips

Sorting out the laundry

Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.

Temperatures

95° or 90°

60°/50°

40°-30°- Cold

for normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)

for normally soiled, colour fast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear)

for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label «pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink»

Before loading the laundry

Never wash whites and coloureds together. Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the wash. New coloured items may run in the first wash; they should therefore be washed separately the first time.

Make sure that no metal objects are left in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).

www.zanussi.com

Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes. Remove persistent stains before washing.

Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.

Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie them up in a bag or net.

Detergents and additives

Good washing results also depend on the choice of detergent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment.

Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.

9

The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.

All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance:

powder detergents for all types of fabric

powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and woollens

liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all

types of fabric, or special for woollens only. The detergent and any additives must be placed in the appropriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.

Prewash detergent is to be added straight into the drum

If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected. Pour the liquid de-

tergent into the detergent compartment immediately before you start the programme.

Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Degrees of water hardness

Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your area can be obtained from the relevant water supply company, or from your local authority. If the water hardness degree is medium or high we suggest you to add a water softener following always the manufacturer’s instructions. When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust the quantity of the detergent.

Care and cleaning

Important! You must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply, before you can carry out any cleaning or maintenance work.

Descaling

The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This

www.zanussi.com

will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.

Maintenance Wash

With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum.

We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed on a regular basis.

To run a maintenance wash:

11

The drum should be empty of laundry.

Select the hottest cotton wash programme.

Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a powder with biological properties.

External cleaning

Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly.

If necessary, the whole detergent drawer can be taken out of the machine for cleaning. You need to pull it firmly outwards, so that it comes free of retaining stop.

To remove the siphon at the inside edge of the drawer for cleaning, you need to press it inwards and pull it upwards at the same time. Flush it out under a tap, to remove any traces of accumulated powder.

When you put it back, press it downwards until you hear a distinct click.

Cleaning the drawer recess

Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess.

Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum.

Cleaning the water inlet filter

If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.

Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose. Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush. Tighten up the inlet hose.

The dangers of freezing

If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.

Turn off the water supply.

Unscrew the inlet hose from the supply tap.

Select a wash programme, start the machine and let the programme run for a short time.

Interrupt the programme by turning the programme selector to position.

Place the end of inlet and drain hoses down low, into the waste gully (floor drain) set into the floor. Make sure that the end of the hose does not go below the water level in the gully's (drain's) water tap.

Select the programme "Drain" and let it run until it is finished.

Turn the programme selector to position. When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0 °C.

The appliance is only to be used and stored indoors at normal room temperature. The manufacturer is not responsible for any frost damage.

Problem

There is water on the floor:

Unsatisfactory washing results:

The door will not open:

The machine vibrates is noisy:

Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin:

No water is visible in the drum:

Possible cause/Solution

Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent (creates too much foam) has been used.

• Reduce the detergent quantity or use another one.

Check whether there are any leaks from one of the inlet hose fittings. It is not always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if it is damp.

Check the water inlet hose connection. The drain or inlet hose is damaged.

Change it with a new one.

Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.

Increase the detergent quantity or use another one. Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.

Use commercial products to treat the stubborn stains. The correct temperature was not selected.

Check if you have selected the correct temperature. Excessive laundry load.

Reduce the laundry load.

The programme is still running.

Wait the end of washing cycle. The door lock has not been released.

Wait until the indicator light for door locked has gone out. There is water in the drum.

Select drain or spin programme to empty out the water.

The transit bolts and packing have not been removed.

Check the correct installation of the appliance. The support feet have not been adjusted

Check the correct levelling of the appliance. The laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.

Redistribute the laundry.

Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.

• Load more laundry.

The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this case ,redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.

Redistribute the laundry. The load is too small.

Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning programme.

Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very little water without affecting performance.
