GENERAL FEATURES

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Having removed the outer carton, reinforcing angles
and polythene wrapping, you must take out the internal
packing which protects the appliance's 'works' during
transit.
Open the lid of your washing machine and take the
polystyrene block away. See Fig. 1.
Then using a spanner remove and pull the 2 threated
pins A ; remove the 2 red plastic sleeves B using the
ring. Do not remove the black protective caps.
See Fig. 2.
Plug the holes left by pins A with plugs C {to be found
in the plastic bag with the instruction manual) taking
care to shut down the central part as shown on Fig. 2.
If you want to keep the alignment of
your appliance with the adjacent
cupboards, you have the possibility
to cut the crossbar holding the hoses
located in the back of your washing
machine (fig. 4)
INSTALLING
Your new Zanussi washing machine has been
designed to be permanently plumbed into your 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 a sink.
Lay the machine carefully on its back making sure that the
hoses and mains lead and plug are not squashed.
Unscrew and remove screws D. Lift away part E. Keep for
future use. See Fig. 3.
The appliance has one inlet valve, cold, with female 2/
4" BSP thread connector. If this connection size is not
compatible with the plumbing of the existing installation,
a variety of connectors are available from good
hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most
domestic plumbing. Any alterations to your existing
plumbing must be carried out by a competent person,
or qualified plumber.
The water inlets are normal for cold water ("smooth"
grey pipe) and red for hot water (grey pipe).
Fig. 5
6

Before connecting the hose be sure to fit the mesh filter
supplied, see Fig. 5.
Installation should comply with local water authority and
building regulations' requirements. The appliance must
be given a separate cold water supply and not be
connected to a mixer tap, a single outlet water heater or
a booster pump. A minimum water pressure of 7 psi is
required for safe operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct
from the rising mains, you may be able to operate from
your cold water storage system. There should be a
minimum distance of 5.02 m (16 1/2 ft) between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the tank.
Set the inlet hose correctly by loosening the ring nut.
After positioning the hose, be sure to tighten the ring
nut again to prevent leaks.
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.
If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the end
of the hose into a standpipe installed for that purpose.
This should have an internal diameter of at least 38 mm
(1 1/2") thus leaving an air gap between the hose and
pipe, and should be designed in such a way that the
water level within it, never covers the end of the hose,
see Fig. 6.
Important
Before connecting up the appliance 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.
Whether discharging into a sink or a standpipe check
that the end of the hose is neither too high nor too low.
The top curve in the hose's end should be no more than
90 cm (35.4") and no less than 60 cm (23.6") above
floor level.
LEVELLING
It is essential that your machine is absolutely level. The
machine is levelled by either raising or lowering the
front feet, see Fig. 7.
After levelling, block the adjustable feet by tightening the
collars manually or with a screwdriver.
Accurate levelling reduces vibration, noises and
displacement of the washing machine during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if the machine is
mounted on a wooden floor. Sprung wooden floors are
particularly suseptible to vibration. For advice, consult a
builder. If possible, always place the machine on a solid
floor.
POSITIONING
Your washing machine can easily slide in and out from
its position by lowering the retractable roller. To do this,
turn the special lever at the bottom front of the machine
from the right to the left. (This can be done with your
foot). Reverse this procedure when the machine is back
in place. See Fig. 8.
If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft
material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to
prevent noises, vibrations or displacement. The base
should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edge of
the washing machine front and back.
7

Position the machine on a firm level surface. Reinforce
wooden floors with a solid wood 5 cm thick panel or at
least two boards. The supporting panel must protrude a
few centimeters beyond the edge of the machine.
The machine must not touch the wall or other furniture.
It is assumed that the tap, drainage point and socket
are within easy reach of the machine hoses and power
supply cable. If not, you are advised to call your fitter in
order to move tap and/or drainage point and/or socket.
Your washing machine can be easily slid in and out
from its position by lowering the retractable roller.
To do this, turn the special lever at the bottom front of
the machine from the right to the left. (This can be done
with your foot). Reverse this procedure when the
machine is back in place. See Fig. 8.
Note
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
All plumbing and electrical work required to install this
appliance must be carried out by competent or qualified
plumbers or electricians.

At the end of the programme ail the buttons must be
reset to the ’rest’ position (not depressed).
THE WASHING PROGRAMMES
The machine has a wide range of programmes for all
types of fabrics. The differences between the
programmes are the rotation rhythm of the drum, the
washing temperature, the water level, the use or not of
the spin cycle etc.
Three special programmes are included in this washing
machine :
"Hand Rinses" is intended as a rinse cycle to use after
laundry has been washed by hand.
"Freshen Up" is a single rinse cycle which takes in
fabric conditioner. Use for unsoiled laundry that may, for
example, need rinsing to remove a stale smell, or to
revive badly creased dry laundry.
11

THE WASH SYMBOLS
The familiar wash code symbols which are found on the care labels in most clothes are disappearing and a new set is
being introduced. These changes are due to changes in fabrics and detergents and because people are tending to use
fewer programmes and mix fabrics in one load. The change brings the codes into line with the labelling used in the rest
of Europe. The new wash symbols will also appear on the side of Washing Detergent packets.

USE OF DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
CHOOSING THE RIGHT WASHING
DETERGENT
Always use a low lather detergent. This is important as
too much lather prevents the articles from being
properly cleansed and you may damage the machine.
Ariel Automatic is specially designed to complement the
cleaning action of the machine.
USE OF WASHING DETERGENT
The washing detergent should be placed in the
appropriate compartments in the washing detergent
dispenser before starting the programme.
USE OF LIQUID ADDITIVES
Any liquid additives for softening, starching or bleaching
the laundry must be poured into the appropriate
compartment of the washing detergent dispenser
before starting the programme.
The compartment marked with the symbol (0) is for
softeners or starching agents.
Concentrated additives MUST be diluted before pouring
into the compartment.
Never exceed the MAX level.
The compartment marked with the symbol (LLD is for
the prewash powder (if required by the programme).
The compartment marked with the symbol (HJ) is for
the main wash powder.
USE OF LIQUID DETERGENT
Suitable liquid detergent such as Ariel can be used
instead of washing powder.
In this case a programme without prewash must be
selected.
Pour the liquid detergent into the compartment (LILI) in
the dispenser, unless the detergent has its own
dispenser ball, this should be used according to the
manufacturer's instructions, immediately before starting
the programme.
HOW MUCH DETERGENT ?
Your washing machine has a unique water circulation
system which runs continuously. This means that it
uses detergent sparingly.
Initially you are advised to use less than the quantity
specified by the detergent manufacturer.
Subsequently it is worth experimenting to see if your
laundry comes out clean with smaller quantities.
Powder residue left on the clothes at the end of a wash
indicates too much powder. If the drum is only half-full,
you can obviously use less detergent.
15

HELPFUL TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL WASHING
• Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the
first few times you use the appliance. The average
weights of the most common items are listed below as
a guide :
1000 g = 1 Kg
Sheet
700-1000 g
Pillow case
100-200 g
Tablecloth
400-500 g
Serviette
50-100 g
Tea towel
70-120 g
Linen hand towel
100-150 g
Towelling hand towel 150-250 g
Towelling bath towel
700-1000 g
Bath robe
1000-1500 g
Man's shirt 200-300 g
Apron
150-200 g
• Do not put washing detergent into the dispenser until
just before starting the programme. If the detergent is
left for any length of time in the dispenser it may form
lumps which are difficult to dissolve.
• 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 un-hemmed 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.
• When washing net curtains, to avoid excessive
and damaging amount of lather it is advisable to
wash large curtains singularly and take extra care
when measuring the detergent. Should an excess
of lather accidentally occur, switch off the
machine advance the programme to a pump and
rinse sequence to remove the lather and start the
wash again.
• Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
• For the best results do not wash more than 1.5-2 Kg
(3-5 lb) of synthetic fabrics in one load. Synthetics
fabrics need plenty of room to move around or they
tend to crease.
• 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 pillow case.
• Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.
• Use the correct quantities of detergent.
• For wool, use gentle detergents only in small
quantities.
• Bleach is very corrosive ; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.
• 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.
• Only wool marked ’Pure New Wool - washable,
preshrunk' can be washed in the machine using the
wool programme ; other types of wool should be
washed by hand or dry cleaned.
• Once you have finished using the machine, you are
advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.
16

MAINTENANCE
Important
Before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.
DESCALING
The water we normally use contains lime. From time to
time, and more often for hard water, it is a good idea to
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 reduce the formation of lime deposits.
If you have not been using descaler regularly, do not
start using it once the machine has been in use for
some time as the limescale built-up will dislodge and
could cause component damage.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Use soap and water only and then dry the appliance
thoroughly.
CLEANING THE SOAP POWDER DISPENSER
HE DANGERS OF FREEZING
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
• Turn off both water taps.
• Select a wash programme and run for a few seconds
to relieve the pressure in the hoses. Unscrew hoses
and drain them into a bowl at ground level.
• Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end in a bowl at ground level to drain.
• When intending to start the machine up again, make
sure that the room temperature is above 0°C .
The detergent dispenser is very easy to remove. Just turn the two screws 1/4 of a turn and slide
the box towards the top
Clean the detergent dispenser under running water with a brush or a piece of rag.
Reposition the detergent dispenser into the lid and refix the
two screws
17

HE WATER DRAIN FILTER
A clean filter is important for correct functioning of the
machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every
wash.
Open the panel covering the filter. Place a container
underneath to catch any spillage. According to the
models, complete the draining of the appliance by
taking away the yellow cap and by extracting the little
hose located on the left of the filter.
If the filter is blocked and the machine will be 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 the water stops flowing out.
Unscrew the filter anti-clockwise.
Remove the filter, and clean carefully under a running
tap.
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. This will prevent leaks and also stop young
children being able to remove the filter.
jCLEANING THE INLET FILTERS
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged. It is
therefore a good idea to clean them from time to time.
Turn off the water taps, run a programme for a second
or two, to release the pressure in the hoses and
prevent spurting, then unscrew the water inlet hoses.
Remove and clean the filters using a hard bristle brush.
Replace the filters and tighten up the inlet hoses.
