spare parts should be used.
Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water
after use.
Do not overload the appliance. Follow the instruc-
tions in the relevant section of this booklet.
This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when
moving it.
All packing and transit bolts must be removed be-
fore use. Serious damage can occur to the product
and to property if this is not adhered to. See relevant
section in instructions.
Leave the tid open for a while after washing to elim-
inate any steam.
Only wash garments which are designed to be ma-
chine washed. If in doubt, consult the care label on
the clothes.
Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty
and buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing
frayed or torn articles and treat stains such as paint,
ink, rust and grass before washing. Underwired bras
must not be machine washed.
= Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails,
screws, stones or any other hard or sharp material
can cause extensive damage and must not be
placed into the appliance.
Garments which have been in contact with volatile
petroleum products should not be machine washed.
If volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be
taken to ensure that the fluid is removed from the
garment before placing it into the machine.
Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable
belts etc. in a pillow case as it is possible for such
items to slip down between the tub and the inner
drum.
Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener.
Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer
to the manufacturer’s recommendations of quanti-
ties.
As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed
in large commercial machines because of their bulk,

INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Before installing the machine up, the packing must be
removed as follows.
You are advised to keep al
case the machine is to be
tthe packaging for re-use in
transported again.
Lay the machine carefully
on its back making sure
that the hoses, mains lead
and plug are not squashed.
Unscrew and remove the
two bolts.
Remove the inner block
by pulling out the red ring.
Set the machine upright,
then using a spanner re-
move the two nuts at the
back of the machine.
Remove the two plastic
spacers by pulling out the
red rings.
Plug the holes with the
black plastic plugs sup-
plied with the instruction
booklet.
Open the lid and take the
polystyrene block away.
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 a suitable existing
tap, with the drain hose discharging into a sink.
The appliance has one inlet hose, with female 4" BSP
thread connector. 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 inlet
Before connecting the
hose be sure to fit the mesh
filter supplied as per dia-
gram.
Installation should comply with local water authority
and building regulations’ requirements.
If you cannot make the water connection direct from
the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appli-
ance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16 Vet)
between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the
tank.

Set the hose correctly by
loosening the ring nut.
After positioning the inlet
hose, be sure to tighten
the ring nut again to pre-
vent leaks.
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 diam-
eter of at least 40 mm (1 1%") 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.
Important
Before connecting up the machine 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 drain hose is neither too high nor
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 machine by loosening or tightening the feet.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and
displacement of the machine during operation. After
levelling the machine, secure the feet by tightening the
ring nuts with the aid of a spanner.
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 cov-
ered with crumbly or soft material, insert a rigid sup-
port base under the feet to prevent noise, vibration or
displacement. The base should protrude a few centi-
metres beyond the edges of the machine.
Warning
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile car-
peting.
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.
Positioning
Your 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
owe with your foot.)
Reverse the procedure when the machine is back in
place.

The 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 appro-
priate 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 138amp 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,
proceed as follows:
GREEN & YELLOW
\
13 AMP FUSE
Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the
terminal 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 onto the lead incorporates a fuse.
For replacement, use a 13amp 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

Washing and drying hints
Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the
first few times you use the appliance.
The average weights of the most common items are
listed below as a guide:
1000g = ikg
Sheet 700-1000 g
Pillow case 100-200 g
Tablecloth 400-500 g
Serviette 50-100 g
Tea towel 70-120 g
Linen hand towel 100-150 g
Towelling hand towel 150-250 g
Towelling bath towel 700-1000 g
Bath robe 1000-1500 g
Man’s shirt 200-300 g
Apron 150-200 g
= Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.
= 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.
It is essential to wash new coloured items sepa-
rately when washing for the first time.
When washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together, always select the lowest
temperature.
White items should not be washed with coloured
items.
Very small 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 gentle detergent only in small quanti-
ties.
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, pre-
shrunk” can be washed in the machine using the
wool programme; other types of wool should be
washed by hand or dry cleaned.
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 fin-
ished drying.
To avoid static charge when drying is completed,
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 man-
ufacturers’ labels.
