For your convenience and safety your
new Zanussi spin dryer comes ready fit¬
ted with a moulded flex and plug. All you
have to do is push the plug into a 13 amp
power socket and switch on.
However, if for some reason you need to
replace this plug with one of your own
you will find the wires inside the flex are
colour-coded as follows:
Green & Yellow: Earth
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
Make sure you connect each wire to the
correct terminal inside the plug. The
plug’s terminals may be colour coded in
the same way as the wires. If not, the
earth terminal will either be coloured
Green, marked with the symbol » ■ = ■ « , or
marked with the letter »E«. The neutral
terminal will either be coloured black, or
be marked with the letter »N«. The live
terminal will either be coloured red, or
be marked with the letter »L«.

Using your Spin Dryer
Loading
The drum may be partly or completely
filled with washing. Make sure that the
washing is evenly distributed inside the
drum. None of the washing must be
above the top of the drum. Once loaded
you must cover the washing with the plia¬
ble cover provided.
Draining
(Model SD2801)
Place a bowl under the spout of the dryer.
(Model SD2802)
Fit the pre formed plastic U-bend onto
the outlet hose, leaving no more than 4
inches protruding from the end of the
pre formed U-bend.
Position the hose over the edge of a sink,
ensuring the sink is empty, the plug is re¬
moved, and the plug hole is not blocked.
Spin Drying
When you have loaded the dryer, connect
to the power point. Close the lid and pull
the on/off lever towards the front, until it
clicks into position on the lid. The spin
dryer will start working.
It will only take a few minutes to spin dry
your clothes; you can see when spin dry¬
ing is finished as only a very few drops of
water will come out of the hose. Give non¬
iron fabrics only a very short spin. To do
this, turn the spin dryer off shortly be¬
fore it has reached its maximum speed.
Pull the locking lever to the right, the
built-in brake will bring the drum to a
halt. Remove the washing, switch off and
pull the plug out of the socket.
DO NOT attempt to open the lid until the
drum has stopped spinning.
Care and Maintenance
When you have finished spin drying the
last lot of clothes, wipe the drum dry with
a cloth. If dirty water has been spun out
of the dryer, it is necessary to rinse the
drum with clean water, to prevent the
next load of washing becoming dirty.
Washing that has been treated with
bleach or stain removers should be
rinsed thoroughly before placing in the
spin dryer.
The outside of the dryer should be wiped
with a damp cloth and rubbed dry. In this
way it will retain its good looks.
On models with stainless steel drums a
brown film can develop after a while,
even »rust« deposits can appear. This is
caused by iron particles which have en¬
tered the drum with the washing, or wa¬
ter with a rust or iron content. This
»rust« can be removed by cleaning with a
fine abrasive cleaning agent such as JIF.
If operated correctly, your spin dryer
should require no special maintenance.

Something not Working
Servicing
Before contacting your local Zanussi
Service Force Centre, please make the
following checks:
If the dryer won’t start:
• Make sure that the lid of the dryer is
firmly shut, and that the lever is in
the locked position.
• Make sure that the dryer is properly
plugged in and that the socket switch
(if any) is in the »on« position.
• Check that there is power at the
socket by plugging in an appliance
you know to be working - a small
lamp, for example. If this too fails to
work, check the main circuit fuses in
your home’s consumer until or main
fuse box.
If the dryer vibrates badly, or is too
noisy:
• Check that the machine is absolutely
level.
• Check that your washing is evenly
distributed.
If after carrying out the necessary
checks, there is still a fault, call your local
Zanussi Service force Centre, whose ad¬
dress can be found in the accompanying
Customer Care Booklet, and can also be
found in your local telephone directory

rial number of the appliance.

ing plate at the back of the appliance, or

down.
