Helpful hints and tips
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer’s washing instruc-
tions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, col-
oureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately the
first time.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners,
hooks and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special de-
tergent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks
or tie them up in a bag or net.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just
water and detergent. It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a spe-
cial detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab
the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine,
lay the garment on a soft surface and dab the
stain with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with
rust stains which are not recent since the cellu-
lose structure will already have been damaged
and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
12
www.zanussi.com

Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with ace-
tone
1)
, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab
the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat any re-
sidual marks with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse
and treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse.
Treat any residual marks with bleach.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone
1)
, then with acetic acid;
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methy-
lated spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent
paste.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the
choice of detergent and use of the correct
quantities to avoid waste and protect the envi-
ronment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can upset
the delicate balance of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type
of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the
colour, washing temperature and degree of soil-
ing.
All commonly available washing machine deter-
gents may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C
max) and woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low tempera-
ture wash programmes (60°C max) for all
types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed
in the appropriate compartments of the dis-
penser drawer before starting the wash pro-
gramme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without
prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation sys-
tem which allows an optimal use of the concen-
trated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommen-
dations on quantities to use and do not ex-
ceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dis-
penser drawer.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling
and hardness of the water used.
Follow the product manufacturers’ instructions
on quantities to use.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load
• the laundry is lightly soiled
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called “de-
grees” of hardness. Information on hardness of
the water in your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from your lo-
cal authority. If the water hardness degree is
medium or high we suggest you to add a water
softener following always the manufacturer’s in-
structions. When the degree of hardness is soft,
readjust the quantity of the detergent.
Drying Hints
Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on the conden-
sation principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and
the drain hose must drain water into a
sink or into the drain pipe, even during the
drying cycle.
Attention!
Before starting the drying programme, reduce
the loads of washed laundry, in order to obtain
good performances.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
13
www.zanussi.com

Laundry not suitable for drying
• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic
curtains, woollen and silk, garments with met-
al inserts, nylon stockings, bulky garments
such as anoraks, bed covers, quilts, sleeping
bags and duvets must not be machine dried.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured
fluffy items such as towels as these can at-
tract the fluff.
• Remove the laundry when the appliance has
finished drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is com-
pleted, use either a fabric softener when you
are washing the laundry or a fabric condition-
er specifically for tumble dryers.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or mate-
rials similar to foam-rubber must not be ma-
chine dried; they represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lo-
tions or hair sprays, nail solvents or similar
solutions must not be machine dried in order
to avoid the formation of harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be placed
in the appropriate compartments of the dis-
penser drawer before starting the wash pro-
gramme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without
prewash must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a re-circulation
system which allows an optimal use of the con-
centrated detergent.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommen-
dations on quantities to use and do not ex-
ceed the «MAX» mark in the detergent dis-
penser drawer.
Garment labels
For drying, follow the indications given on the
manufacturer’s labels:
•= May be tumble dried
•= Drying at high temperature
•= Drying at reduced temperature
•= Do not tumble dry.
Drying cycle duration
The drying time may vary depending on:
• speed of the final spin
• dryness degree required (iron dry, store dry)
• type of laundry
• weight of the load size .
The average drying time for a timed drying are
indicated in the «Drying programmes» chapter.
The experience will help you to dry your laundry
in a more suitable way, according to the differ-
ent fabrics. Take note of the duration drying time
of the already performed cycles.
Additional drying
If the laundry is still damp at the end of the dry-
ing programme, select a short drying cycle
again.
Warning! Do not over dry the laundry
in order to avoid creasing of fabrics
or garment’s shrinking.
First use
• Ensure that the electrical and water con-
nections comply with the installation in-
structions.
• Remove the polystyrene block and any
material from the drum.
• Before the first wash, run a cotton cycle
at the highest temperature without any
laundry in the machine, to remove any
manufacturing residue from the drum
and tub. Pour 1/2 a measure of deter-
gent into the main wash compartment
and start the machine.

Fluff in the garments
During the WASHING AND/OR DRYING
PHASE, certain types of fabric, as sponge-
cloth, sweatshirt, could release fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics dur-
ing the next cycle.
This drawback increases with technical fabrics.
To prevent the lint in your clothes, it is recom-
mended:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed
and dried light coloured fabrics (new sponge,
sweatshirt especially) and vice versa.
• To air-dry this type of fabrics when they are
washed the first time.
• To clean the filter.
• Perform one or more rinse cycles to wash the
drum between the washing and drying of fab-
rics with different colours.
• After the drying phase, thoroughly clean the
empty drum, the gasket and the door with a
wet rag.
Care and cleaning
Warning! You must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity supply,
before you can carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work.
Descaling
The water we use normally 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 soft-
ening powder manufacturer's instructions. This
will help to prevent the formation of lime depos-
its.
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with
soap and water only, and then dry thoroughly.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser
drawer should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer
by pressing the catch
downwards and by
pulling it out. Flush it
out under a tap, to re-
move any traces of
accumulated powder.
To aid cleaning, the
top part of the addi-
tive compartment
should be removed.

Cleaning the drawer recess
Having removed the
drawer, use a small
brush to clean the re-
cess, ensuring that all
washing powder resi-
due is removed from
the upper and lower
part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse pro-
gramme without any clothes in the drum.
Cleaning the pump
The pump should be inspected regularly and
particularly if:
• the appliance does not empty and/or spin;
• the appliance makes an unusual noise during
draining due to objects such as safety pins,
coins etc. blocking the pump;
• a problem with water draining is detected
(see chapter “What to do if...” for more de-
tails).
Warning!
1. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains
socket.
2. Do not remove the filter while the appliance
operates. Do not clean the drain pump if
the water in the appliance is hot. The water
must be cold before you clean the drain
pump.
Proceed as follows:
Open the pump door.
Put a container below the recess of the drain
pump to collect the water that flows out.
Press the two levers and pull forward the
drainage duct to let the water flow out.
When the container is full of water, put the
drainage duct back again and empty the con-
tainer. Do steps 3 and 4 again and again until
no more water flows out from the drain pump.
12
Pull back the drainage duct.
Unscrew the filter and remove it.
Remove fluff and objects from the pump.
