Helpful hints and tips
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label and the manufacturer’s washing instructions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites,
coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
95° or 90°
for normally soiled white cottons
and linen (e.g. tea cloths, towels,
tablecloths, sheets...)
60°/50°
for normally soiled, colour fast
garments (e.g. shirts, night dres-
ses, pyjamas....) in linen, cotton or
synthetic fibres and for lightly
soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear)
40°-30°- Cold
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including
synthetic fibres and woollens
bearing the label «pure new wool,
machine washable, non-shrink»
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately the
first time.
Make sure that no metal objects are left
in the laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins,
pins).
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special detergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks
or tie them up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
washing programme charts.
General rules:
• Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly
packed;
• Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
• Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no
more than one third full.
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g
quilt cover 700 g
man’s work shirt 600 g
sheet, man’s pyjamas 500 g
tablecloth 250 g
pillow case, towelling towel,
night dress, man’s shirt
200 g
tea cloth, ladies’ briefs, napkin,
blouse, men’s underpants
100 g
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a special detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and
dab the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the
stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a
rust removing product used cold. Be careful
with rust stains which are not recent since the
13
www.zanussi.com
cellulose structure will already have been damaged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with ace-
tone
1)
, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab
the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone
1)
, then with acetic acid;
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the
choice of detergent and use of the correct
quantities to avoid waste and protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the
type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons,
etc.), the colour, washing temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C
max) and woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash programmes (60°C max) for all
types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme with-
out prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not ex-
ceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent
dispenser drawer.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” of hardness. Information on hardness of
the water in your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from your local authority.
A water softener must be added when wa-
ter has a medium-high degree of hardness
(from degree of hardness II). Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The quantity of detergent
can then always be adjusted to degree of hardness I (= soft).

Drying Hints
Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on the condensation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open
and the drain hose must drain water into
a sink or into the drain pipe, even during
the drying cycle.
Attention!
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk

Before starting the drying programme, reduce
the loads of washed laundry, in order to obtain
good performances.
Laundry not suitable for drying
• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic
curtains, woollen and silk, garments with
metal inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bed covers, quilts,
sleeping bags and duvets must not be machine dried.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured
fluffy items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.
• Remove the laundry when the appliance has
finished drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use either a fabric softener when you
are washing the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dryers.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lotions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar
solutions must not be machine dried in order
to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be
placed in the appropriate compartments of the
dispenser drawer before starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme with-
out prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation
system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not ex-
ceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent
dispenser drawer.
Garment labels
For drying, follow the indications given on the
manufacturer’s labels:
•
= May be tumble dried
•
= Drying at high temperature
•
= Drying at reduced temperature
•
= Do not tumble dry.
Drying cycle duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
• speed of the final spin
• dryness degree required (iron dry, store dry)
• type of laundry
• weight of the load size .
The average drying time for a timed drying are
indicated in the «Drying programmes» chapter.
The experience will help you to dry your laundry
in a more suitable way, according to the different fabrics. Take note of the duration drying
time of the already performed cycles.
Additional drying
If the laundry is still damp at the end of the drying programme, select a short drying cycle
again.
Warning! Do not over dry the laundry
in order to avoid creasing of fabrics
or garment’s shrinking.

Drying Programmes
In compliance with EC directive EN 50229 the cotton reference programme for the data
entered in the Energy Label must be tested dividing the maximum washing load by two equal
parts and drying with DRYING TIME each of them.
Care and cleaning
Warning! You must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity supply,
before you can carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a
good idea to periodically use a water softening
powder in the machine. Do this separately from
any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This
will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with
soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser
drawer should be cleaned regularly.

Remove the drawer
by pressing the catch
downwards and by
pulling it out. Flush it
out under a tap, to remove any traces of
accumulated powder.
To aid cleaning, the
top part of the additive compartment
should be removed.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the
drawer, use a small
brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all
washing powder residue is removed from
the upper and lower
part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and
particularly if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins,
coins etc. blocking the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected
(see chapter “What to do if...” for more details).
Warning! Before opening the pump door,
switch the appliance off and remove the
mains plug from the socket.
Proceed as follows:
• Unplug the appliance.
• If it is necessary, wait until the water has
cooled down.
Place a container
close to the pump (A)
to collect any spillage.
Pull out the emergency emptying hose (B),
place it in the container and remove its
cap.
When no more water comes out, unscrew the
pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise and
remove the filter. Use pliers, if necessary. Always keep a rag nearby to dry up any water
spillage when removing the cover.
Clean the filter under a tap, to remove any
traces of fluff.
Remove foreign bodies and fluff from the
filter seat and from
the pump impeller.
Check carefully
whether the pump impeller rotates (it rotates jerkily). If it
doesn’t rotate, please
contact your Service
Centre.

Put the cap back on
the emergency emptying hose and place
the latter back in its
seat.
Replace the filter into
the pump by inserting
it correctly into the
special guides.
Screw the pump cover firmly by turning it
clockwise.
Caution! When the appliance is in use
and depending on the programme
selected there can be hot water in the pump.
Never remove the pump cover during a wash
cycle, always wait until the appliance has
finished the cycle, and is empty. When refitting
the pump cover, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.
Cleaning the water inlet filters
Important! If the appliance doesn't fill, takes
long to fill with water, the starting button blinks
yellow or the display (if available) shows the
relevant alarm (see chapter "What to do if..." for
more details), check if the water inlet filters are
blocked .
To clean the water inlet filters:
• Turn off the water
tap.
• Unscrew the hose
from the tap.
• Clean the filter in
the hose with a stiff
brush.
• Screw the hose back onto the tap. Make
sure the connection is tight.
• Unscrew the hose from the machine. Keep
a rag nearby because some water may
flow.
• Clean the filter in the valve with a stiff
brush or with the piece of cloth.
35°
45°
• Screw the hose back to the machine and
make sure the connection is tight.
• Turn on the water tap.
Frost precaution
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken.
• Turn off the water tap.
• Unscrew the inlet hose.
• Place the end of the emergency emptying
hose and that of the inlet hose in a bowl
placed on the floor and let water drain out.
• Screw the water inlet hose back on and reposition the emergency emptying hose after
having put the cap on again.
• When you intend to start the machine up
again, make sure that the room temperature
is above 0°C.
