This document serves as a user manual for a Zanussi washing machine, providing comprehensive instructions for its installation, operation, and maintenance. It is designed to guide users through various aspects of the appliance to ensure safe and efficient use.
The Zanussi washing machine is designed for domestic use, specifically for washing machine-washable fabrics. It offers a variety of washing programmes tailored to different fabric types, soil levels, and user needs, ensuring efficient and clean results. The machine incorporates features such as pre-wash, main wash, rinse, and spin cycles, allowing for thorough cleaning and preparation of laundry. It also includes options for adjusting wash temperature and spin speed, providing flexibility to care for a wide range of garments. A delay start function allows users to schedule wash cycles up to 24 hours in advance, offering convenience and flexibility in managing laundry tasks. The appliance is equipped with a child safety lock to prevent unintended operation and ensure the safety of children and pets.
To begin using the washing machine, users must first ensure proper installation, including removing all transit bolts and connecting the water and electrical supplies correctly. The quick guide outlines the initial steps: loading laundry, measuring detergent, closing the door, setting up the drain pipe, turning on the water tap, plugging in the power, selecting a programme, and pressing the start/pause key.
The detergent dispenser drawer is divided into compartments for pre-wash/stain remover, main wash detergent (powder or liquid), and liquid additives like fabric softener or starch. Users are advised to follow detergent manufacturer recommendations and not exceed the "MAX" mark in the drawer.
The control panel features a display that shows the current wash step (pre-wash, washing, rinse, spin), delay time, remaining programme duration, and indicators for child lock and door lock status. The programme selector dial allows users to choose from various wash cycles, including Cottons, Wool, Synthetics, Delicates, Kidswear, Hygiene, Colour, Intensive, Self-Clean, Main Wash Only, Rinse, Spin, and Drain. Each programme is designed for specific fabric types and soil levels, with default temperature and spin speed settings that can be adjusted.
The "OPTIONS" button allows for the selection of extra rinse or pre-wash functions. The "SOIL LEVEL" button enables users to select a wash intensity based on how dirty their laundry is. The "TEMPERATURE" button adjusts the wash temperature, while the "SPIN" button allows for changes in spin speed or the selection of a "Rinse Hold" option. The "DELAY START" button can postpone the start of a wash cycle for 0-24 hours. The "START/PAUSE" button initiates or pauses the selected programme.
For safety, the child lock feature can be activated by pressing button 5 for three seconds, locking the Start/Pause button and displaying "CHILD LOCKED." This lock remains active even if the machine is turned off and on again.
At the end of a programme, the machine stops automatically, and the display shows a blinking zero. If a programme ends with water remaining in the tub, the door remains locked until the water is drained, which can be done by selecting a draining or spinning programme. After use, it is recommended to turn off the water tap and leave the door slightly ajar to prevent mildew and unpleasant smells. The machine also features an energy-saving Stand-By mode that activates a few minutes after a programme finishes or when paused, dimming the display and indicator lights.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the washing machine. Before any cleaning or maintenance, the appliance must be disconnected from the electricity supply.
Descaling: The manual recommends periodically using a water softening powder to prevent lime deposits, especially in areas with medium to high water hardness. This should be done separately from laundry washing, following the softening powder manufacturer's instructions.
External Cleaning: The exterior cabinet should be cleaned with soap and water and then thoroughly dried.
Detergent Dispenser Drawer: The dispenser drawer should be cleaned regularly. To do this, press the release button, pull out the drawer, and flush it under a tap to remove accumulated powder. The recess where the drawer sits should also be cleaned with a small brush to remove any residue. After cleaning, replace the drawer and run a rinse programme without any clothes in the drum.
Pump Cleaning: The pump filter should be inspected and cleaned regularly, especially if the machine does not empty or spin, or if it makes unusual noises during draining. To clean the pump:
Water Inlet Filters: If the appliance fills slowly or not at all, or if an alarm code (E10) appears, the water inlet filters may be blocked. To clean them:
Frost Precaution: If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C or if the water is not discharged, users should unplug the machine, turn off the water tap, unscrew the inlet hose, and place the inlet and drain hoses into a bowl to drain the water by gravity. A draining programme should then be run, and the pump cleaned if necessary. The inlet hose should be screwed back on, and the room temperature should be above 0°C before restarting the machine.
The manual also includes a "What to do if..." section with a table of common malfunctions, possible causes, and solutions, such as checking the door, pressing the start/pause key, connecting the water pipe, distributing laundry, running a self-clean cycle, and checking for bent or blocked hoses. Alarm codes (E10, E21, E30, E50, EXX) are explained with corresponding solutions to help users troubleshoot issues.
