Installation
• All internal packing must be removed before using
the appliance. Serious damage may be caused to
the machine or adjacent furniture if the protective
transit devices are not removed or are not
completely removed. Refer to the relevant
paragraph in the instruction book.
• Any electrical work required to install this appliance
must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
• Any plumbing work required to install this appliance
must be carried out by a qualified plumber.
• After having installed the machine, check that it is
not standing on its electrical supply cable.
• If the appliance is placed on a carpeted floor, ensure
that air can circulate freely between the feet and the
floor.
Use
• This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must
not be used for purposes other than those for which
it was designed.
• Only wash fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed. Follow the instructions on each
garment label.
• Do not overload the appliance. Follow the
instructions in the instruction book.
• Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such
as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause
extensive damage.
• Do not machine wash garments saturated with
petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc. If
such fluids have been used to remove stains prior to
washing, wait until they have completely evaporated
from the fabric before placing garments in the
appliance.
• Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a
cloth bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting
trapped between the drum and the tub.
Warnings
• Use only the recommended quantities of fabric
softener. An excessive amount could damage the
laundry.
• Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the
appliance is not in use. This preserves the door seal
and prevents the formation of musty smells.
• Always check that water has emptied out before
opening the door. If not, drain the water following
the instructions in the instruction book.
• Always unplug the appliance and shut the water tap
after use.
General safety
• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by
qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons could cause serious danger.
Contact your local Service Centre.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the
plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug
itself.
• During high temperature wash programmes the door
glass may get hot. Do not touch it!
The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before installing
or using the appliance.

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.

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.

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.
