Important Safety Information

It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is supplied with the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functioning of the appliance and the relevant warnings.

These warnings have been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully before installing or using the appliance.

Installation

Use

This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.

It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this appliance in any way.

All packaging and transit bolts must be removed before use. Serious damage can occur to the product and to property if this is not adhered to. See relevant section in instructions.

Any plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent person.

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable.

If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely.

Child Safety

This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the appliance.

Pets and children have been known to climb into washing machines. Please check your drum before use.

Keep all packaging well away from children.

Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children's reach.

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.

Garments which have been in contact with volatile petroleum products should not be machine washed. If volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be taken to ensure that the fluid is removed from the garment before placing in 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 so 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.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local Zanussi Service Force Centre. Always insist on genuine Zanussi spare parts.

Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

Ecological hints

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

Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the hardness of your water supply, the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling.

A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry.

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".
