Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine, which is fitted with the New 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 balance control 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”.

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: 1200 rpm for model ZWF 1240 W;
1400 rpm for model ZWF 1440 W;
1600 rpm for models ZWF 1640 W
and ZWF 1640 S;

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

900 rpm

• for delicate, silk fabrics, miniprogramme:

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 crease the laundry.

At the end of the cycle, the light of the START/PAUSE
button goes off, the light and the “End” pilot light
remain lit, a flashing zero appears on the display, to
indicate that the water must be drained.

• Select programme “Spin” or “Delicate Spin”. Select

the spin speed by means of the relevant button and
then depress the START/PAUSE button. The water is
emptied out and the laundry is spun at the selected
spin speed.

Attention! Before selecting “Drain”, the “Spin” or the
“Delicate Spin” programme the selector dial has to be

4 OPTION buttons

Depending on the programme, different functions can be
combined. These must be selected after choosing the
desired programme and before depressing the
START/PAUSE button.
When these buttons are pressed, the corresponding pilot
lights come on. When they are pressed again, the pilot
lights go out.
If an incorrect option is selected, the pilot lights flash for
about 2 seconds and the message Err is displayed.
Press these buttons 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 and handwash cycle, miniprogram and silk).

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.

• EXTRA QUICK: this option can be used for lightly

soiled (not for wool, hand wash, silk and
miniprogramme) in order to obtain a good washing
programme in a short time. The washing time will be
reduced according to the type of fabric and the selected
temperature.

“Extra Quick” cannot be used with E-Cottons, 40°

AA, E-Synthetics programmes.

and 1 rinse for synthetics, delicates and silk.

This option is recommended for people who are allergic

to detergents, and in areas where the water is very soft.

• EASY IRON: selecting this button the laundry is

gently washed and spun to avoid any creasing. In this
way ironing is easier. Furthermore the machine will
perform 6 rinses instead of 3 for cotton and 4 rinses
instead of 3 for synthetics. This function can be used
for cotton and synthetic fabrics.

If this option is selected for cotton programmes, the
spin speed automaticaly will reduce to 900 rpm.
