8 How to run a wash cycle

How to run a wash cycle?
Using for the first time

• Ensure the electrical and water con­nections comply with the installation
instructions.

• Remove the polystyrene insert and
all other items inside the drum.

• Run an initial wash cycle at 90°C,
without any washing but with deter­gent to clean the water tank.

Daily use

Loading washing

• Open the lid of the appliance.

• Open the drum by depressing the loc-

king button A : The two shutters
unlock automatically.

• Load the washing, close the drum

and the lid of your washing machine.

Before closing the lid of your appliance,
ensure that the drum is properly closed :

• When the two shutters are closed,

• locking button A released.

Proportioning of detergents

Your washing machine has been desi­gned to reduce your water and deter­gent consumption. You can therefore
reduce the amounts recommended by
detergent manufacturers.
Pour the amount of washing powder into
the washing and prewash com­partments if you have selected the
“prewash” option. Pour fabric softener
into the compartment if necessary .
If you use another detergent type, refer
to the section “detergents and
additives” in the washing guide.

Selection of desired programme

You can find the right programme for
different types of washing in the
programme table (see “Programme
table”).

Turn the programme selector to the
required programme. The “Start/Pause”
pushbutton flashes green.

If you turn the programme selector to
another programme while a cycle is in
progress, the appliance will ignore the
new selected programme. The “Start/
Pause” pushbutton flashes red for a few
seconds.

How to run a wash cycle 9

Selecting the temperature

Press the “Temp.” pushbut­ton repeatedly to increase
or decrease the temperatu­re if you want your washing
to be washed at a different
temperature to the one se­lected by the appliance. The

symbol means a cold

wash.

Selecting the spin speed

Turn the spin
speed selector
on the desired
speed. You can
also select “No
spin”*, “Rinse
hold”

*

or
“Night silence
plus” *.

The maximum speeds are :
for Cottons, Wool and Handwash : 1000
rpm (ZWT10120), 900 rpm (ZWT9120),
800 rpm (ZWT8120),
for Synthetics and Easy iron : 900 rpm
(ZWT10120, ZWT9120), 800 rpm
(ZWT8120),
for Delicates, Silk and Mini programme :
700 rpm.

At the end of the programme, if you have
selected “Rinse hold” or “Night
silence plus” , you then need to select
a “Spin”, “Delicate Spin” or “Drain”
programme to finish the cycle.

“Night silence plus”
The washing machine does not empty
the water after the final rinse which pre-

vents the washing from creasing. Be­cause there are no spin cycles, the
washing programme is very quiet and
can be selected at night. In Cotton and
Synthetics programmes, the rinsing cy­cle uses more water.

“Rinse hold”
The washing machine will not drain the
water from the last rinse, so will not
crease the laundry.

Selecting options

You must select the
different options af­ter selecting the
programme and
before pressing the
“Start/Pause” pus­hbutton (see “Pro-

gramme table”).
Press the desired button(s) ; the corres­ponding lights come on. If pressed
again, the lights go out. If one of the op­tions is not compatible with the selected
programme, the “Start/Pause” pushbut­ton flashes red.

“Super Quick” option

The washing time will be reduced
depending on the programme selected.

“Eco” option

This option allows you to choose a lower
temperature programme which is as ef­fective as a higher temperature wash
programme.

“Prewash” option

The appliance runs a prewash at 30°C
max. The prewash finishes with a short
spin cycle for cotton or synthetic

*depending on model

areas.

Tem p o r a r y :
Press the “Extra rinse” pushbutton. The
option is only active for the selected pro­gramme.

Permanent :
Hold down the “Temp.” and “Option”
pushbuttons for a few seconds. The op­tion is permanently activated, even if the
appliance is switched off. To deactivate
it, repeat the process.

This option allows you to delay the start
of a wash programme by 3, 6 or 9 hours
by pressing the “Delay start”
pushbutton.
You can change or cancel the delayed
start time at any time before you press
the “Start/Pause” pushbutton, by pres­sing the “Delay start” pushbutton again
(when all indicators are off, the wash
programme will start immediately).
If you have already pressed the “Start/

12 washing guide

Washing guide

Sorting and preparing the washing

• Sort washing by type and care label
(refer to International symbols section
below) : normal wash for tough
fabrics which can withstand intense
washing and spinning cycles ; deli­cate wash for delicate fabrics which
need to be treated with care. For
mixed loads, loads with items of dif­ferent types of material, choose a
programme and a temperature suita­ble for the most fragile material.

• Wash whites and colours separately :
Otherwise, whites will be coloured or
will turn grey.

• New coloured clothes often contain
excess dye. It is recommended to
wash such items separately the first
time. Follow care instructions “wash
separately” and “wash separately
several times”.

• Empty pockets and unfold items.

• Remove loose buttons, pins and fas­teners. Close zip fasteners, tie ups
laces and straps.

• Turn multilayered fabrics (sleeping
bags, anoraks, etc.), coloured head­wear, wool and material with printed
designs inside out.

• Wash small fragile items (socks,
tights, bras, etc) in a net bag.

• Take special care with curtains.
Remove hooks and place net cur­tains in a net or bag.

Wash loads depending on type of
materials

The amount of washing placed in the
drum must not exceed the maximum
capacity of the washing machine. This
capacity can vary depending on the type
of materials. Reduce the quantity if
washing is heavily soiled or made of ab­sorbant material.
Not all textiles have the same volume in
the drum or the same water absorption
levels. In general, the drum must there­fore be filled :

• to full capacity but avoiding exces­sive pressure on cotton, linen and
cotton/linen mixtures,

• to half capacity for processed cot­tons and synthetic fibres,

• to a third of its capacity for very fra­gile items such as net curtains and
woollens.

For mixed loads, fill drum depending on
most fragile materials.

Detergents and additives

Only use detergents and additives desi­gned for use in a washing machine. Re­fer to manufacturer’s recommendations
and also Dispenser box and Using the ri­ght amount of detergent sections.
We do not recommend mixing different
types of detergents. This may spoil the
washing.
The amount of detergent to be used de­pends on the size of the load, the hard­ness of the water and how heavily soiled
the washing is.
If the water is soft, reduce the amount
slightly. If the water contains lime scale
(a descaler is recommended) or if the
washing is heavily soiled or stained, in­crease the amount slightly.

washing guide 13

You can obtain information on the hard­ness level of water in your area by con­tacting your water company or other
competent source.
There are no restrictions on the use of
powder detergents.
Liquid detergents must not be used
when a prewash has been selected. For
cycles without prewash, they can be ad­ded either via means of a dosing ball, or
in the detergent compartment. In either

case, the wash cycle must be started
immediately.
Detergent tablets or doses must be pla­ced in the detergent compartment of
your appliance’s dispenser box.
For stain removal before a wash cycle,
please refer to manufacturer’s recom­mended amounts and instructions. If
you use a detergent to remove stains,
the wash cycle must be started imme­diately.
