Safety instructions Hints and tips Environmental information

Your New Washing Machine

Your new washing machine 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 95°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.

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

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”.

Child safety feature

This machine incorporates a special child safety feature to prevent small children from being trapped inside the machine. To activate this device, rotate the button (without pressing it) inside the door clockwise until the groove is horizontal. If necessary use a coin. To disable this device and restore the possibility of closing the door, rotate the button anti-clockwise until the groove is vertical.

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

• The possibility of selecting the temperature and all the options offered by this washing machine gives you truly “customised” washing.

• The automatic cooling of the washing water from 95° to 60°C before draining reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing.

• The ECO valve allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.

• The balance control device prevents vibration during spinning.

(ZWX 1505);

•

for synthetic fabrics and wool: 900 rpm;for

• 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 crease the laundry.

At the end of the cycle, the light of the “Start/Pause” button goes out, the “End” and “Rinse Hold” lights illuminate to indicate that the water must be drained. To complete the cycle, first press “Skip/Reset” button and then choose one of the following options:

• Drain only:

• Drain and Spin:

- Choose the previously selected programme by means

of the FABRICS button, afterwards change the spin speed if needed, by means of the “Spin” button and then press “Skip/Reset” button twice until the ‘Spin”

light illuminates and then depress

“Start/Pause”

button.

6 OPTIONS button

Press this button 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).

The prewash ends with a short spin in programmes for cotton and synthetic fabrics, whereas in the programme for delicate fabrics the water is only drained.

● Extra Quick: select this option for laundry that is

only slightly soiled (not for Wool programme). The washing time will be reduced according to the type of fabric and the selected temperature.

● 40° AA: this option can be selected for cottons and

synthetics lightly or normally soiled with a temperature of 40°C or higher. If you select 40°C together with option 40° AA, the machine will prolong the time at 40°C in the washing phase. On cotton programme this will allow an AA class in energy efficiency and washing performance to be achieved. If you select 95°C, 60°C or 50°C and press the 40° AA button, the washing temperature will be reduced and the washing time will be prolonged.

The Prewash, the Extra Quick and the 40° AA options cannot be selected together by means of the relevant button.
