INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Before starting the machine up, the packing must be
removed as follows.
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in
case the machine is to be transported again.
Unscrew and remove the
rear right bolt (using a
spanner). Lay the ma-
chine gently on its back,
making sure that the
hoses are not squashed.
Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the
machine.
Carefully slide out the right polythene bag (1), removing
it toward the centre of the machine.
Repeat the operation for the left polythene bag (2),
removing it toward the centre of the machine.
Remove the polystyrene
base, set the machine
upright and unscrew the
Slide out the 3 plastic spacers and plug the 3 holes with

two remaining rear bolts.
Positioning
Your new Zanussi washing machine has been designed
to be permanently plumbed in to 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.
The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with
female %" BSP thread connectors. If this connection 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.
Water iniet
The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded,
blue for cold and red for hot.
Before connecting the
hoses be sure to fit the
mesh filters supplied as
per diagram.
If only a cold water supply is available, connect the two
hoses to a cold water outlet by means of a ‘Y’
connection piece. —
Installation should comply with local water authority and
building regulations’ requirements.
_The appliance must be given a separate coid water
supply and not be connected to a mixer tap, a single
outlet water heater or a booster pump. A minimum water
pressure of 7psi 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 the
appliance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16 ‘it)
between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the tank.
There will be sufficient pressure for the hot water supply
from the hot water cylinder if the height between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the cold water
storage cistern (not between the appliance and hot
water cylinder) is at least 2.74m (9ft).
a Set the hoses correctly by
; loosening the ring nuts.
After positioning the inlet
hoses, be sure to tighten
' the ring nuts again to
prevent leaks.

INSTALLATIO
Water drainage
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 the purpose.
The standpipe must have an internal diameter of at least
40 mm (1 1/2") in order that there is an air gap between
the drain hose and the standpipe. Make sure, that it is
designed in such a way, that the end of the drain hose
cannot be covered with water.
600 mm min
900 mm max
Important
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or to
pipework that has not been used for some time, run offa
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 drain hose is neither too high not too
low. The top of the curve in the hose’s end should be no
more than 90cm (35.4"), and no less than 60cm (23.6")
above floor level.
Levelling
Level the washing ma-
chine by raising or lowe-
ring the feet.
The feet may be tight to
adjust as they incorpo-
rate a self locking nut,
but the machine MUST
be level.
Any adjustment can be
made by hand or with
the spanner. Accurate
levelling prevents vibration, noise and displacement
of the machine during operation.
Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a
wooden floor.
Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to
vibration. For advice, consult a builder. If possible,
always place the machine on a solid floor.
' Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted with a deep-pile carpet or covered
with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid support base
under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or displace-
ment. The base should protrude a few centimetres
beyond the edges of the machine.
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile
carpeting.
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 persons 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 appropri-
ate plug fitted.
Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.
The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent
the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged into a
13 Amp socket in another part of your home.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the 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, pro-
ceed as follows:
GREEN & YELLOW
13 AMP FUSE
Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to.the termi-
nal in the plug which is marked with the letter «E» or the
earth symbol ~ or coloured green and yellow.
Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter «N» or coloured
black.
Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter «L» or coloured red.
The plug moulded on to the lead incorporates a fuse.
For replacement, use a 13 Amp BS1362 fuse. Only
ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.
The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is
lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert
at the base of the plug.
A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your
local Zanussi Service Force Centre whose address is -
listed in the Customer Care Booklet which accompanies
your instruction manual.

AUTO
This button allows you to wash and dry a half load.
To do this, first select the required wash programme.
Depress the wash’n dry button and then select the
drying time. After completing the wash cycie, the
machine will automatically begin the drying phase.
The wash’n dry option can be used on programmes A,
B, C, D, H and J.
Rinses will be reduced when using wash’n dry option on
programmes for cotton and linen.
Do not use detergent ball dispensers when using
wash’n dry programmes.
3 Heavy soil button &
By pressing the heavy soil button, the machine will take
in cold water only on programmes with a water tempera-
ture of 60°C and 95°C (programmes A-B-C).
These would normally be hot and cold, or hot fill only.
The water is then gradually heated to the required tem-
perature. 5
The effect is to improve the overall wash performance,
~ particularly on biological stains such as egg, blood and
grass stains, and heavily soiled fabrics, since the longer
«cool-soak» phase as the water heats up provides the
right conditions for the powder and the water temperatu-
re to interact, and achieve the best possible resulis.

« Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
=» Avoid washing unhemmed 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.
= Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
w tis 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 tem-
perature.
s White items should not be washed with coloured
items.
s Very smail items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
= Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.
= Use the correct quantities of detergent.
=» For wool, use gentie detergent 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.
lf you have used the machine to wash, rinse or
spin only non-colour fast garments, there may be
dye left in the sump. To ensure any subsequent
wash is not contaminated with the dye, select
and carry out a rinse and spin programme,
without any garments, to ensure that any dye is
removed from the sump.
When drying always load well spun laundry. The
higher the spin speed the lower is electric energy
consumption during drying and the shorter is the
drying time.
Do not leave the damp laundry load in a heap too
long before drying.
Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.
If you overdry the laundry, besides wasting energy,
any subsequent ironing may become more difficult
because the fabric could be heavily crumpled.
Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished
drying.
To avoid a static charge when drying is compieted,
use either a fabric softener when you are washing
the laundry or a fabric conditioner specifically for
tumble dryers.
For drying, follow the indications given on the
manufacturers’ labeis.

USE OF DETERGENT AND ADDITIVES
Which detergent?
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your
appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in
your everyday wash, and only detergents recom-
mended for use in automatic machines.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and
household textiles and to make them last longer you
should use different types of detergent for different
washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.
Whites :
We recommend the Ariel product
range which is biological and
designed to provide excellent
cleaning and stain removal even
at low temperatures.
Non Biological
If you prefer to use a non
biological detergent, which does
not contain enzymes we Fea s |
recommend Fairy. Fairy provides We
good cleaning and stain removal. .
Coloureds
For coloured items you should use a
detergent which is designed to clean
while maintaining the original colour.
Ariel Color does not contain bleach
and therefore helps to preserve
colours.
Delicate Items
When washing delicates such as
woollens, you should use a product
which is specially designed to care for
fine fabrics.
Dreft Automatic is suitable for wool-
lens and other delicates.
Laundry Bleach
For additional stain removal you may
wish to use a product such as Ace
Gentle Bleach which is used in addi-
tion to your chosen detergent. Ace is
suitable for all washable fabrics
including silks, woollens and
coloureds.
12
And in which form?
Not only are there different types of detergent, but
they are also available in different forms. Whether you |
chose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact
form is to own personal choice.
Traditional Powders
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer.
Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine
drum.
Traditional Liquids
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment
of the detergent drawer marked with the symbol LII],
start the machine immediately upon placing the deter-
gent in the dispenser drawer.
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the spe-
cially designed dosing device* which should be
placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.
Compact Powders and Liquids
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also
known) are available in liquid or powder form, and
generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions to ensure the most economical
usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser
drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent into
the specially designed dosing device* which should
be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.
* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,
please ensure the dosing device/ball is
removed before carrying out a drying pro-
gramme.
Fabric Conditioners
These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing
easier. They are available in two types>
For example Lenor liquid fabric
softener, for use in the washing
machine/washer dryer. The
liquid fabric softener should be
poured into the compartment
marked with the symbol &.
Follow the manufacturer's dosage
instructions and never exceed the
MAX level.
Bounce conditioning sheets for use
in a tumble dryer. We recommend
the conditioning sheets are pinned
(using a safety pin) to an article
of laundry and placed in the
tumble dryer.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.
Descaling
The water we normally use contains lime. It is a good
idea to periodically 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 prevent the formation of
lime deposits.
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This. helps to prevent
mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance.
Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to
preserve the door seal.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap
and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
From time to time the washing powder and additive
dispenser drawer should be cleaned.
Pull the drawer to remove and flush it out under a tap, to
remove any traces of accumulated powder.
Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the
drawer, use a small brush
to clean the recess, en-
suring that all washing
powder residue is re-
moved from the upper
and lower part of the re-
cess.
Replace the drawer and
run the rinse programme
for a few minutes without
any clothes in the drum.
The dangers of freezing
if the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
= Tum off the water taps.
=» Select a wash programme and run for a few
seconds.
= Unscrew the inlet hoses.
sw Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end in a bowl. Run the draining
programme for a few seconds.
» When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.

Cleaning the filter
The water drain filter
A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of
the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after
every wash.
Open the filter door and
place a container under-
neath to catch any spill-
age. If the filter is blocked
and the machine is un-
able to drain you will need
to drain the water manu-
ally 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 proce-
dure until water stops flowing out.
Unscrew and remove the filter.
Clean carefully under a
fast 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 so as to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.
18
The water inlet filters
lf 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. Unscrew the water iniet hoses.
Remove and clean the fil-
ters using a hard bristle
brush. Replace the filters
and tighten up the inlet
hoses.
