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

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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING : THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should this
safety measure not be observed.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable
for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the
appropriate plug fitted.
Remove the fuse and carrier from the cut off plug. The
plug should then be disposed to prevent the hazard of
electric shocks in case it should be plugged into a 13
amp socket in another part of your home.
Important
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code :
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with
the markings identifying the terminals in your plug.
Proceed as follows :
Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter ’N’ or coloured blue.
Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured red or
brown.
The plug moulded on to the cord incorporates a fuse.
For replacement, use a 13 amp BS1362 fuse. Only
ASTA approved fuses should be used. The fuse cover/
carrier must be refitted should it be removed to replace
a fuse. It should be red in colour.
The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is
lost. A replacement red cover/carrier must be obtained
from you local Zanussi Service Centre whose address
is listed in the directory toward the back of this instruc¬
tion book and can also be found in your local telephone
directory under ’z'.
The appliance complies with E.E.C. Directive
N°. 87/308 of 2.6.87 relative to radio interference
suppression.
Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter 'E' or
the earth symbol —i— or coloured green, or
green and yellow.
