Installation
Unpacking
After removing outer carton, reinforcing
angles and polythene wrapping, proceed
as follows:
Unscrew and remove, by means of the
special spanner that comes with the
machine, the three big screws to be
found on the back of the appliance (fig. 1).
The spanner supplied with the machine
is provided with an hexagonal insert
which can be used according to the type
of screws which are at the back of the
appliance.
Insert a screwdriver into the free holes
left after removing the screws, and tilt it
as required to cause the three plastic
spacers inside the machine to fall down.
Rest the washing machine on its back
and remove the two inner angle packings
by pulling the left string A first and then
the right string B (fig. 2).
This operation should be carried out very
carefully to prevent the angle packings
from damaging the internal components
of the machine.
Remove the polystyrene base packing
and the three plastic spacers that fell
down during the preceding operations.
Note: It is advisable to keep all parts of
the inner packing, including the three big
screws removed from the back of the
appliance, for re-use in case the machine
has to be transported again.
Positioning & Levelling
Set up the machine in its permanent
operating position and then carefully
level it adjusting the two levelling feet
(fig. 3) by means of the special small
wrench that comes with the machine.
It is recommended to perform this work
very accurately to avoid any vibration,
noise or shifting of the appliance during
operating. fig. 3

Also make sure that the washing machine
does not touch walls, furniture, etc.
while working.
Water connection
The machine may either be plumbed in
or connected to existing taps.
Details are given below.
Water supply
Separate supplies of hot and cold water
are necessary. Single outlet gas or
electric heaters are not suitable.
If only cold water supply is available,
connect the two hoses to a cold water
tap.
Water outlet connection
The drain pipe from this machine must
connect into the main drain of the
premises, but not into the rainwater
drain.
Information as to the type of drain
servicing your premises can be obtained
from a builder or the Local Authority.
The curved end of the outlet hose should
be firmly hooked over the edge of a sink
or connected to a suitable drain pipe in
the wall or under the sink;
however, such a drain pipe should have a
built-in air break in order to avoid water
syphoning from the machine during
draining.
The top of the drain hose (curved end)
should not be lower than 50 cms (20 ins)
or higher than 85 cms (34 ins) from floor
level (fig. 4).
The water should be able to drain freely
and the end of the outlet hose must not
be under water.
It is, therefore, advisable that the drain
pipe, if used, has an internal diameter of
at least 4 ems (1,5 ins).
Also, ensure that the drain hose is not
chocked or placed in such a way as to
obstruct the normal water flow.

fig. 4

If the drain hose is to be hooked over
the sink, ensure that the sink is empty
and that the sink plug is not blocking
the plug hole.
If an extension hose is required, it should
not exceed a length of 180 cms (6 ft.) its
diameter should not be smaller than that
of the original drain hose and the
extension hose should not be choked
(kinked) in any way.
The hose is to be positioned at floor
level and only the terminal part should
be placed at the requisite drain level
previously indicated. A failure to comply
with these requirements may result in a
malfunction of the drain pump.
To correctly carry out the extension of
the drain hose, it is advisable to use the
special connector with hose clamps
which are be supplied as an optional
attachment.
Plumbed installation
It is important that work is carried out by
a qualified plumber.
Use from existing taps
1 - Mixer taps are unsuitable and
must not be used.
2 - Connect the red pipe connection
to the hot tap and the other
to the cold tap (see note below).
Important
If the rate of flow on the cold water
valve is too slow, remove the flow
control device of the valve;
If the pressure on the hot tap exceeds
approximately 10 lb. per square inch, it
will be necessary to fit the flow control
device, in the hot water valve.
Tap connections
For taps with a 3/4 inch gas thread, fit
the washers to the inlet hoses and
connect as shown (fig. 5).
The other end of the water inlet hoses,
which are connected to the appliance, can
be turned in any required direction by
unloosing their ring nuts.
After setting the inlet hoses as desired,
be sure to tighten their ring nuts again to
prevent leakages.
If the water supply is from new pipes or
from pipes which have not been used
for a long time, it is advisable to run off
a certain amount of water before
connecting the machine.
This will avoid foreign matter blocking
the filters.
Additional hints for connection of
water inlet hose
If the water supply in your area is hard
it is possible that the filters situated in
the fill valves can be become blocked
with sand or limestone deposits and in
extreme cases this can cause a
breakdown of the fill valves ie:, no water
fill or continuous filling.
We would suggest that you install
supplementary strainers which should be
fitted on the fill hoses of your machine.
For information about the availability of
these supplementary strainers you should
contact your local plumber.

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
appropriate plug fitted.
The cut off plug should be disposed of to
prevent the hazard of electric shocks in
case it should be plugged into a 13 Amp
socket in another part of your home.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this 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, this is what you have to do:
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, or 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 which is marked with the letter
«L» or coloured red.
The plug moulded on to the cord
incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use
a 13 Amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA
approved fuses should be used.
The fuse cover/carrier must be replaced
in the event of changing fuse.
The right fuse cover/carrier colour is the
one shown by the coloured insert at the
base of the plug. |
The plug must not be used if the fuse
cover/carrier is lost. A replacement
cover/carrier must be obtained from

Half-load pushbutton «3»: when
pressed in, this pushbutton will provide
only half of the normal water load in the
tub. This makes it possible, when
washing only a reduced load (not more
than half of the normal dry load), to
obtain a reduced water consumption and
a considerable saving in electric power
consumption. This pushbutton should not
bè pressed in when washing synthetics or
woollens.
Spin pushbutton «500-1000»: (only for
Z9292T) if pressed in at the beginning of
an energetic wash cycle, this pushbutton
provides the final spin at 1000 r.p.m.
instead of 500 r.p.m.
Cold wash pushbuttonWJ : by pressing in
this pushbutton prior to selecting a wash
cycle, the program will be carried out
with cold water only.
A cold water program is particularly
suitable to wash very delicate synthetic
fabrics, curtains & draperies and other
lightly soiled fabrics.
Program selector: this permits selection
of the required wash cycle by turning the
knob clockwise until the letter
corresponding to the desired program
coincides exactly with the pointer.
Furthermore, by pulling it or pushing it,
it lets you start or stop the machine.

Loading the clothes
Open the door of the machine by pulling
the small double-action catch (fig. 6) to
the left first and then outwards. Load
the clothes spreading them out evenly
and then close the door again.
Filling with washing powder
The washing powder dispenser is located
on the front left of the control panel. It
is very important to use a low sudsing
powder (see paragraph «Which powder»)
such as Persil Automatic, or Ariel
Automatic.
Pull out the dispenser and add washing
powder. The amount of washing powder
for the prewash should be put into
section «a» (fig. 7) of the dispenser and
the powder for the main wash should be
put into section «b». Once the dispenser
is filled, close by pushing in.
Use of additives
The washing machine is designed to
carry out special treatménts such as the
addition of fabric conditioners ;
automatically at the end of some
washing programmes.
The conditioner liquids to be used should
be put into compartment «e» (fig. 7) of
the dispenser at the beginning of the
programme. These additives will be
automatically used by the machine at the
appropriate time.
Take care to use the correct, amount of
additive, following the manufacturer's
instructions; under no circumstances
should the level of the liquid additive
exceed the level of the grid in
compartment «œ (fig. 7).
If this level is exceeded, the liquid
additive is wasted because it flows
directly into the wash tub and could
originate cloggings inside the machine.

Which powder?
Do not use ordinary powders
in your new washing machine.
The reason for this is very simple, these
powders produce so much lather that
clothes are prevented from tumbling
freely and cannot get properly clean.
Do use the right powder. To get the best
results, we recommend Persil Automatic
or Ariel Automatic.
Like all modern automatic machines the
Z.9282T/Z9292T work at peak efficiency
with a low lather product.
These products’ balanced lather is
specially designed to complement the
cleaning action of these machines.
So use it regularly for trouble free
washing and superb results.

For hardness in ppm multiply indicated
hardness value by 10.
For information regarding the degree of
hardness in your area, enquire at
competent local authority.
For reduced load or light soiling, reduce
the quantities accordingly.
Do use enough powder. To get your
clothes really clean it is essential that
enough powder is used in the machine.
The correct amount will depend on a
number of things: the hardness of water,
the size if the load, and the amount of
soiling present. As a guide we suggest
you follow the table above and adjust the
amounts in light of your personal
experiences.
You may find it helps to use a measuring
cup at first.
Selection of washing programme
The washing machine carries out 10
washing programmes and 7 additional
programmes. Each programme has been
specially designed for a specific type of
fabric (e.g. cotton, synthetic fibres, wool
etc.) and incorporates the H.L.C.C. care
labelling scheme.
The appropriate programme must
therefore be chosen according to the type
of fabric to be washed.
