How to run a wash cycle?
Using for the first time
• Ensure the electrical and water con-
nections 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 deter-
gent 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 desi-
gned to reduce your water and deter-
gent consumption. You can therefore
reduce the amounts recommended by
detergent manufacturers.
Pour the amount of washing powder into
the washing and prewash com-
partments 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.

Selecting the temperature
Press the “Temp.” pushbut-
ton repeatedly to increase
or decrease the temperatu-
re if you want your washing
to be washed at a different
temperature to the one se-
lected 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. Be-
cause there are no spin cycles, the
washing programme is very quiet and
can be selected at night. In Cotton and
Synthetics programmes, the rinsing cy-
cle uses more water.
“Rinse hold”
The washing machine will not drain the
water from the last rinse, so will not
crease the laundry.

You must select the
different options af-
ter selecting the
programme and
before pressing the
“Start/Pause” pus-
hbutton (see “Pro-
gramme table”).
Press the desired button(s) ; the corres-
ponding lights come on. If pressed
again, the lights go out. If one of the op-
tions is not compatible with the selected
programme, the “Start/Pause” pushbut-
ton 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 ef-
fective 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
