Safety instructions Hints and tips Environmental information

Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine, fitted with the Zanussi “JET SYSTEM”, meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated automatically according to the load and type of fabric.

●

Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C

before draining, with the 90°C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.

●

The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.

●

The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning.

Ecological hints

To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints:

●

Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).

●

The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.

●

With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.

●

Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of laundry being washed.

In the interest of the environment

●

Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

●

Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance.

●

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the power supply cable and make the door lock device unusable to prevent young children from being trapped inside.

●

Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance.

How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper!

Important

Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed “Something Not Working”.

This light is connected to the ON/OFF button. It lights up when you press the button, and goes out when you press it again.

3 FABRICS button

Press this button repeatedly to select the programme on the basis of the type of laundry to be washed. The light relevant to the selected programme will light up. The washing machine will propose a temperature and automatically select the maximum spin value provided for the programme you have chosen. You can change these values by operating buttons 4 and 5.

4 TEMPERATURE button

Press this button repeatedly to increase or decrease the temperature, if you want your laundry to be washed at a temperature different from the one proposed by the washing machine.The relevant light will light up. Maximum temperatures are 90°C for cotton, 60°C for synthetic fabrics, 40°C for delicate fabrics and wool.

IMPORTANT!

By pressing the TEMPERATURE and SPIN SPEED buttons simultaneously, the acoustic signal is deactivated at the end of the cycle, when selecting the programmes and in case of an incorrect option selection . By pressing these 2 buttons again the acoustic signal is reactivated.

5 SPIN SPEED button

Press this button repeatedly to change the spin speed, if you want your laundry to be spun at a speed different from the one proposed by the washing machine. The relevant light will light up.

Maximum speeds are:

• for cotton: 1400, 1300, 1200 or 1000 rpm depending on the model;

• for synthetic fabrics and wool: 900 rpm;

• for delicate fabrics: 700 rpm.

RINSE HOLD position : when you choose this option, the machine will not drain the water of the last rinse, so as not to wrinkle the laundry.

At the end of the cycle, the START/PAUSE button light will flash, to indicate that the water must be drained. To complete the cycle, choose one of the following options:

• Draining and spin:

- Press the START/PAUSE button. The machine

will drain the water, then spin the laundry at the maximum speed provided for the selected programme.

- Select spin speed by means of button 5, and press

the START/PAUSE button.

• Drain only

- Press the SKIP/RESET button once, so as to cause

the DRAIN light to light up, then press the START/PAUSE button.

button more than once the programme is cancelled., To drain the water, select any washing programme by means of the FABRIC button, then press SKIP/RESET three times in order to select the DRAIN position (only the DRAIN light will remain lit).

6 OPTIONS button

Press this button to select the following options:

• PREWASH: select this option if you wish your laundry to be prewashed before the main wash (not

available for wool).

The prewash ends with a short spin at 650 rpm in programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics, whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the water is only drained.

• AA 40°: this option can be selected for cottons and

synthetics lightly or normally soiled with a temperature of 40°C and higher. If you select 40°C , the machine will prolong the time at 40°C in the washing phase, this will allow an A class in energy efficiency and washing performance to be achieved.

slightly soiled. The washing time will be reduced according to the type of fabric and the selected temperature.

The PREWASH, the QUICK and AA 40°options

cannot be selected together.

Important!

The first time you use the washing machine, when

you switch it on, it may give an audible warning signal. This is due to the fact that the washing machine has performed a washing cycle during the manufacturer’s inspection tests, and this cycle has not been erased after its completion.
