■
Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the
Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are
difficult to remove and should be treated before
washing with specific products, which can be found
in most household shops. In some cases it may help
to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-
soak product or biological detergent.

Once you have finished using the machine, you are
advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.
To avoid an excessive and damaging amount of
lather when washing net curtains, it is advisable to
wash large curtains singularly and take extra care
when measuring the detergent.
Man’s shirt
Apron
Should an excess of lather accidentally occur, switch
off the machine, select the spin programme which is
preceded by a drain cycle, to remove the lather and
then start the wash again.
■
■
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.
■
■
■
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may
unravel.
Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.
■
■
■
When washing curtains, remove the hooks.
Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
It is essential to wash new coloured items separately
when washing for the first time.
■
When washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together, always select the lowest
temperature.
■
■
■
White items should not be washed with coloured
items.
Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.
■
■
Use the correct quantities of detergent.
For wool, use gentle detergent only in small
quantities.
■
Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.

For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for dispensing detergents and liquid additives.Once the dispenser has
been filled, close it by pushing it in gently. This is particularly important if you are using fabric conditioner to avoid
the conditioner entering the machine prematurely.
When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme, place the detergent into the correct compartment in the
dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.
11
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried
out you must DISCONNECT the appliance
from the electricity supply
Descaling
The water we normally use 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.
Aft er each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent
mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance.
Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to
preserve the door seal.
Ex t er nal cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning t he d isp enser d rawer
From time to time the washing powder and additive
dispenser drawer should be cleaned.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards
and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove
AL033
AL021
any traces of accumulated powder.
Keep clean the control panel to avoid liquids to
spread in the inside part of the panel
Cleaning t he d rawer 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 for a
P0185
few minutes without any clothes in the drum.
12
Cleaning t he filt er
The water drain filter
A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of
the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every
washing programme.
Open the filter door and place a container underneath to
catch any spillage. If the filter is blocked and the
machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the
water manually from the machine at this stage. To do
this, unhook the drain hose from the standpipe or sink
and hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor.
The water should drain by gravity into the bowl. When
the bowl is full, hook the hose back up and empty the
bowl. Repeat the procedure until water stops flowing
out.
Unscrew and remove the filter.
Clean carefully under a fast running tap.
Replace the filter turning now clockwise and tighten it.
P0040
Warning
When the appliance is in use and depending on the
programme selected there can be hot water in the filter.
Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always
wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is
empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.
The water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water tap. Unscrew the water inlet hose.
Remove and clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.
Replace the filter and tighten up the inlet hose.
P0090
P0021
The d anger s o f freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
■
Turn off the water tap.
■
Unscrew the inlet hose.
■
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet
hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme.
■
Disconnect the appliance.
■
Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.
■
When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

Po sit io ning
Your new Zanussi washing machine has been designed
to be permanently plumbed in to you home’s water
supply and drainage system. However, if this is not
possible, it may be connected to suitable existing taps,
with the drain hose discharging into the sink.
Wat er inlet
There should be a COLD WATER tap near the washing
machine with a screwing on connection pipe of 3/4 gas
for the water supply, a sink, a wash basin or a drainage
system in the wall.
Previously check if:
■
it is not a hot water tap.
■
the running water is clean. If not, run off a
reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris
that may have collected in the pipes.
Have the permanent drainage system in the wall
checked by a plumber.
Place the enclosed rubber joint, delivered in a plastic
bag together with the appliance (A), at the very end of
the inlet hose and carefully screw the pipe to the tap
taking care not to damage the screwdrive and fix the nut
well on to the end in order to avoid leaking.
A
AL013
If necessary turn the hose adequately by unscrewing the
nut at the rear of the appliance.
Now tighten the nut anew to avoid leaks. (Open the tap
and assure that it does not leak and close it again.)
P0021
Wat er d rainage
If you intend the drain hose from the machine to empty
into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and that the
plug hole is not blocked.
Place the drain hose in the sink with the aid of the bent
piece delivered separately.
The bent piece has to be entered into the tube´s mouth
in order to assure the support.. Aforesaid piece allows
the hose to be fixed to the wall by means of an opening
on the upper part and that way the hose does not move
and its falling is avoided
P0022
17
If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the end
of the hose into a standpipe installed for the purpose.
The standpipe must have an internal diameter of at least
40mm in order that there is an air gap between the drain
hose and the standpipe. Make sure, that it is designed in
such a way, that the end of the drain hose cannot be
covered with water.
Whether discharging into a sink or a standpipe check
that the end of the drain hose is neither too high nor too
low. The top of the curve in the hose’s end should be no
more than 90 cm, and no less than 60 cm above floor
level.
3 pin
Should a prolongation of the drain hose be unavoidable
this must never surpass 1.5 m and must be of the same
diameter as the original hose
P1039
Im portant
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or
to pipework that has not been used for some time, run
off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris
that may have collected in the pipes.
Levelling
Level the washing machine by loosening or tightening
the feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by
pushing the nuts against the base of the case
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation. After
levelling the machine, secure the feet by tightening the
ring nuts with the aid of a screwdriver.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.
P0254
P0509
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.
Sp ecial co nd it io ns
If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet or
covered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid
support base under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or
displacement. The base should protrude a few
centimetres beyond the edges of the machine.
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile
carpeting.
Note
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
