Disposal

Tips for environmental protection

Packaging materials

The materials marked with the symbol are recyclable.

>PE<=polyethylene >PS<=polystyrene >PP<=polypropylene

This means that they can be recycled by disposing of them properly in appropriate collection containers.

Machine

Use authorised disposal sites for your old appliance. Help to keep your country tidy!

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

• 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.

Child safety

• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can be. When the machine is working, children should be carefully supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance.

• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children’s reach.

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

• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum. To avoid this the machine incorporates a special feature. 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.

• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing.

Installation

Unpacking

All transit bolts and packing must be removed before using the appliance.

You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in case the machine is to be transported again.

Using a spanner unscrew and remove the two rear bottom screws. Slide out the two plastic pins.

Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed.

Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the machine and release the two plastic bags. Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag, removing it towards the right and then downwards

Repeat the operation for the right polythene bag, removing it towards the left and then upwards.

Remove the polystyrene base. Set the machine upright and unscrew the remaining rear screw. Slide out the relevant pin.

Fill all the holes with the plastic plugs supplied with the instruction booklet.

Positioning and levelling

Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall or other kitchen units. Carefully level by screwing the adjustable feet in or out. Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor.

Water inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a separate tap with a 3/4" thread.

Do not use already employed hoses for water connection.

The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the window “A”. Should this occur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose.

P1128

132990080.qxd 01/12/2003 15:45 Pagina 75

The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the machine can be turned in any direction. Simply loosen the fitting, rotate the hose and retighten the fitting, making sure there are no water leaks.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.

Water drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

Hooked over the edge of a sink using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine. In this case,

make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine is emptying. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

In a sink drain pipe branch. This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.

Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm. The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.

P0022

P0021

Any extension applied to the drainage hose should not be longer than 200 cm and its diameter must not be smaller than that of the original hose. Use a suitable fitting for the connection.

The drain hose must not be kinked.

Electrical connection

This machine is designed to operate on a 220-230 V, single-phase, 50 Hz supply.

Check that your domestic electrical installation can take the maximum load required (2.2 kW), also taking into account any other appliances in use.

Connect the machine to an earthed socket.

The manufacturer declines any responsibility for damage or injury through failure to comply with the above safety precaution. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this should be carried out by our Service Centre.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed the power supply cable is easily accessible.

Your new washing machine

This new washing machine, which is fitted with the Jet system, patented Zanussi, meets all modern needs for effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.

Further savings are achieved by washing small loads of laundry, since water and electricity consumption is proportional to the quantity and type of laundry being washed.

• The possibility of selecting the temperature, spin speed and all the options offered by this washing machine

gives you truly “customised” washing.

• The DELAY START option allows you to delay starting of the wash programme to any time of day, so allowing

you for instance to make use of overnight economy electricity tariffs.

• The programme progress display shows the programme steps selected and the programme phase which is

running.

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

• The balance control device ensures the machine is stable during the spin.

Washing hints

Sorting 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° for normally soiled white cottons and linen

(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...)

60° for normally soiled, colour fast garments

(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in

linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).

COLD for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed

30°-40° laundry including synthetic fibres and

woollens.

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 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: bathrobe 1200 g napkin 100 g quilt cover 700 g sheet 500 g pillow case 200 g tablecloth 250 g towelling towel 200 g tea cloth 100 g night dress 200 g ladies’ briefs 100 g man’s work shirt 600 g man’s shirt 200 g man’s pyjamas 500 g blouse 100 g 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 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 acetone (*), lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.

Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual marks from white fabrics 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.

132990080.qxd 01/12/2003 15:45 Pagina 82

ENGLISH

Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the fabric

first with acetone (*), 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.

(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk.

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 concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a programme without prewash must be selected.

The washing machine incorporates a recirculation system which allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.

Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer compartment marked just before starting the programme.

Any fabric softener or starching additives must be poured into the compartment marked before starting the wash programme.

Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX»

mark in the detergent dispenser drawer.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The type and quantity of detergent will depend on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling and hardness of the water used.

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.

Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions on quantities to use.

Use less detergent if: – you are washing a small load, – the laundry is lightly soiled, – large amounts of foam form during washing.

12. How to change a programme

during its cycle

Before you make any change, you must pause the washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button. It is possible to change any phase before the programme carries it out. Changing the type of fabric or temperature is possible, obviously, only during the washing phase. When you make a change in these two parameters, the washing machine will resume the cycle from the beginning.

If it is necessary to drain the water in order to change the programme in progress, proceed as follows:

• PAUSE the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE

button;

• press the ANNUL. button repeatedly, until only the

DRAIN light remains lit;

• press the START/PAUSE button again.

When the water has been drained, the display shows a blinking zero. You may now select a new programme and press the START/PAUSE button to start it.

13. How to cancel a programme

during its cycle

To cancel a programme that is being carried out, first pause the washing machine by pressing the START/PAUSE button, then press the ANNUL. button repeatedly, until the display shows three blinking

dashes.

14. How to open the door during the

cycle of a programme

You can open the door, after having set the washing machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions exist:

• the washing machine is not in the heating phase

beyond 55°C;

• the level of the water is not high;

• the drum is not turning.

If these requirements are met, when you pause the washing machine, the DOOR LOCKED light goes out and the door can be opened.

Should it not be possible to open the door, and should it be absolutely necessary to do so, switch the machine off by pressing the ON/OFF button.

After approximately 3 minutes, you can open the door.

Pay attention to the level and temperature of the water in the washing machine!

When you close the door and press the ON/OFF button again, the washing machine will resume the programme from the point where it had been interrupted.

15. End of programme

At the end of the programme, the washing machine stops automatically, gives an audible signal, and displays a blinking zero.

If you had selected the RINSE HOLD option, the START/PAUSE button light flashes to indicate that the water must be drained. The display shows a steadily lit zero and the door pilot light will be switched on. When the programme has been completed, a blinking zero appears on the display and the audible signal is given.

The DOOR LOCKED light goes out at once.

Press the ANNUL. button repeatedly to erase the programme that has just been carried out. If you omit to do this, the next time you switch the washing machine on, the blinking zero will appear on the display and you will hear the audible signal.

Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must

erase the previously performed programme, it is also sufficient to press the TEXTILE button and select a new programme.

Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off. The relevant light will go out.

Remove the laundry from the washing machine. Check whether the drum is completely empty, by

rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to prevent any items of laundry from remaining accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour into another load of laundry.

We advise you to close the water supply tap and disconnect the plug from the socket.

Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

Maintenance

1. Door seal

Check from time to time the door seal and eliminate eventual possible objects that could be trapped in the fold.

2. Bodywork

Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.

Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or similar products to clean the bodywork.

3. Detergent dispenser drawer

After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave deposits in the drawer.

Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under a running tap. To remove the drawer from the machine, press the button in the rear left-hand corner.

To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment can be removed.

Detergent can also accumulate inside the drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the drawer after cleaning.

4. Drain filter

The drain filter collects threads and small objects inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the filter is clean.

Open the filter door by pulling it towards the right. Place a container under the filter to catch any spillage. Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the

container, and remove its cap by unscrewing it.

When no more water comes out, unscrew the filter and remove it.

Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it, screwing it fully in.

Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose, place the latter back in its seat. Close the filter door.

5. Water inlet filter

If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill, check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not blocked.

Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the hose from the tap. Clean the filter with a stiff brush. Screw the hose back onto the tap.

6. Emergency emptying out

If the machine is unable to drain, proceed as follows to empty out the machine:

• Pull out the plug from the power socket.

• Close the water tap.

• If necessary, wait until the water has cooled down.

• Place a bowl on the floor under the filter and place the end of the emergency emptying hose into the bowl. The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, screw the cap on again. Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing out.

• Clean the filter if necessary.

• At the end screw the filter again.

7. Frost precautions

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 inlet hose and that of the emergency emptying hose in a bowl placed on the floor and let the water drain out.

• Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the emergency emptying hose back in its place after having screwed the cap on again.

When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

• Check if the drain filter is screw and the emergency empting hose cap is inserted properly.

• The drain hose is damaged.

• Unsatisfactory washing results:

• Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used.

• Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing.

Problem Possible cause

• Spinning starts late or the laundry is not spun enough:

• The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 6 minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will spin at a lower speed. If at the end of the programme the laundry is not spun enough, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.

• Water is not visible in the machine:

• The machine, which is the result of modern technology, runs in a very economical way with low water consumption. Performance is nevertheless excellent.

• The machine makes an unusual noise:

• The machine is fitted with a commutator motor which improves machine performance.

• The door will not open:

• The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.

• The machine is heating the water.

• The drum is turning.

The door can only be opened when the relevant light has gone out.
