Use

●

Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water supply after use.

●

Do not overload the appliance. See relevant section in the instruction book.

●

Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine washed. If in doubt, consult the care label on the clothes.

●

Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty and buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing frayed or torn articles and treat stains such as paint, ink, rust, and grass before washing. Underwired bras must NOT be machine washed.

●

Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause extensive damage and must not be placed into the machine.

Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable belts etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is possible for such items to slip down between the tub and the inner drum.

●

Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener. Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quantities.

●

As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed in large commercial machines because of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item before washing in a domestic machine.

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”.

Important!

By pressing the TEMPERATURE and SPIN SPEED buttons simultaneously, the acoustic signal at the end of the cycle is deactivated. 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: 1,400, 1,200 or 1,000 rpm depending on the model;

• for synthetic fabrics, wool, and fabrics to be handwashed: 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:

The first time you use the washing machine, when you switch it on, it may display a blinking zero and 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.

• Delay start, a time value indicated in hours and

selected by means of the relevant button.

The delay time is displayed for 3 seconds, then the duration of the selected programme reappears. After you have pressed the START/PAUSE button, the countdown begins, and the delay time value decreases by one unit every hour. You can delay the start of the selected programme by up to 24 hours in one hour intervals.

• An incorrect option selection has been made: this is indicated by the message Err when a function incompatible with the current programme is selected.

9 START/PAUSE button

This button has three functions:

• Start: after you have selected the desired programme

and options, press this button to start the washing machine. The light above the button will stop flashing and remain lit.

programmes with the RINSE HOLD option.

10 SKIP/RESET button

The incorrect selection is also indicated by an audible warning signal.

• An alarm code indicates a fault in the machine

operation (see the relevant chapter on page 19).

This button performs two functions:

- Clears the memory

- Selects special programmes

At the end of every programme the RESET button must be pressed once or repeatedly to clear the programme memory. This will be confirmed by three dashes, flashing in the display. If the previous programme is not cleared, the display will show a “

0” flashing and an audible signal will

sound, when you switch the machine on.

Selecting a special programme:

A wash programme must be selected in the normal way. (START button not pressed)

A normal wash cycle consists of the following phases,

PREWASH

To select rinse & spin, press the SKIP button once, the wash LED goes out.

To select spin only, press the SKIP button twice. The wash & rinse LED,s go out.

11 DELAY button

This button makes it possible to delay the starting of the programme by up to 24 hours. The delay you have selected is shown on the display for about 3 seconds; afterwards, the duration of the programme reappears. You must select this option after you have set the programme and before you press the START/PAUSE button.

The time value shown on the display will decrease by one unit every hour.

You can change the delay time at any moment, before you press the START/PAUSE button.

If you have already pressed the START/PAUSE button, and you wish to change or cancel the delay time, proceed as follows:
