Ecological hints
To save water, energy and to help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow
these tips:
• Normally soiled laundry may be washed
without prewashing in order to save deter-
gent, water and time (the environment is pro-
tected too!).
• The machine works more economically if it is
fully loaded.
• With adequate pre-treatment, stains and
limited soiling can be removed; the laundry
can then be washed at a lower temperature.
• Measure out detergent according to the wa-
ter hardness, the degree of soiling and the
quantity of laundry being washed.

www.zanussi.com

Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise
and displacement of the appliance during
operation.
Repeat the levelling action, if the appliance is
not level and stable.
Warning! This appliance is free standing
only. Do not remove the worktop for any
reason.
Water inlet
Connect the hose to
a tap with a 3/4”
thread.
35° 45°
Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to the
left or right depending on the position of your
water tap. Do not place the inlet hose
downwards. After positioning the inlet hose,
be sure to tighten the ring nut again to pre-
vent leaks.
Water drainage
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain
hose using the plastic hose guide supplied
with the appliance .
The end of the drain hose can be positioned
in four ways:
•Hooked over the edge of a sink using
the plastic hose guide.
Tie the plastic hose guide to the tap with a
string to prevent that the drain hose unhooks
when the appliance is emptying.
•Onto a sink outlet spigot.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and se-
cure with a clip, ensure a loop is formed in
the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink
entering the appliance.
If the outlet spigot has not been used before,
remove any blanking plug that may be in
place.
9
www.zanussi.com

•Directly into a drain pipe at a height
of not less than 60 cm and not more than
100 cm.
MAX 100cm
The end of the drain
hose must always be
ventilated, i.e. the
inside diameter of the
drain pipe must be
larger than the out-
side diameter of the
drain hose. The drain
hose must not be
kinked.
If your drain hose
looks like this (see
beside) you do not
require the “U”
piece”. Just push the
hose firmly in to the
standpipe.

Daily use
Sort out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each gar-
ment label and the manufacturer’s washing in-
structions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites,
coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Before Loading The Laundry
Important! Make
sure that no metal
objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins,
pins). Button up pil-
lowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and
poppers. Tie any
belts or long tapes.
Remove any hooks
(e.g curtains).
• 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 sep-
arately the first time.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a special
detergent or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the
bag or a net.
Remove stubborn stains before washing:
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a
special detergent then rub in the soap and wa-
ter.
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
cellulose structure will already have been dam-
aged and the fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well
(whites and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach
(whites and fast coloureds only).
12
www.zanussi.com

Ball point pen and glue: moisten with ace-
tone1), 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
residual 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 acetone1), then with acetic
acid; treat any residual marks on white fabrics
with bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, me-
thylated spirits or benzine, then rub with deter-
gent paste.
Open the door by carefully pulling the
door handle outwards
Load the laundry
Place the laundry in
the drum, one item at
a time, shaking them
out as much as pos-
sible.
Maximum Loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the
«Washing Programmes».
General rules:
•Cotton, linen: drum full but not too tightly
packed;
•Synthetics: drum no more than half full;
•Delicate fabrics and woollens: drum no
more than one third full.
Close the door gently
Warning! Make
sure that any
fabrics were not trap-
ped when closing the
door.
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 up-
set 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 de-
gree of soiling.
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
(40°C max) and woollens,
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temper-
ature wash programmes (60°C max) for all
types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
The detergent dispenser drawer is provi-
ded with an insert for liquid detergent. Do
not use the insert downwards for gelatinous
detergents, with programmes including pre-
wash, with the delay start option. In all these
cases you can use metering balls or sachets
provided with the detergent, Take out the me-
tering aid at the end of the washing cycle.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soil-
ing and hardness of the water used.
For the quantity of detergent, refer always to
what is written on the product packing.
Use less detergent if:
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk.
13
www.zanussi.com

• 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
local authority.
If the water hardness degree is medium or high
we suggest you to add a water softener follow-
ing always the manufacturer’s instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust
the quantity of the detergent.
