●

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 product.

●

Pets and children have been known to climb into washer-dryers. Please check your drum before use.

●

The glass door becomes very hot during the washing and drying cycle. Keep children away from the vicinity of the appliance whilst it is in operation.

Keep all packaging well away from children.

●

Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s

●

reach.

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 and dry fabrics which are designed to be machine washed and dried. 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 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/dried in large commercial machines because of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item before washing in a domestic machine.

●

The users should always check that they have not left their gas lighters (disposable or otherwise) in their clothing.

Never tumble dry items that have had contact with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid.These are of a volatile nature and could cause an explosion. Only tumble dry items which have been washed in water or require airing.

●

Plastic detergent dispensers should not remain in the drum during the drying cycle, as the plastic used is not designed to withstand the heat. If you wish to wash-through-to-dry you should use the conventional detergent dispenser drawer.

●

Leave the porthole door slightly ajar between washes to preserve the door seal.

●

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.

Safety instructions Hints and tips Environmental information

Your New Washer-Dryer

Your new washer-dryer, 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.

It is gentle with your laundry, simple to use and easy to care for.

●

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

●

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

●

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 two drying programmes will give your wash that soft, relaxed feel whatever the weather.

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.

●

Select a “Quick” programme for lightly soiled laundry.

●

A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry.

●

Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical.

●

Always load well spun laundry. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times.

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".
