Maintenance and Cleaning Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT tha appliance from the electricity supply Descaling The water we normally use 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 softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits. After each wash Leave the door open for a while.
Cleaning the filter The water drain filter A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every washing programme. Open the filter door and place a container underneath to catch any spillage. If the filter is blocked and the machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the water manually from the machine at this stage. To do this, unhook the drain hose from the standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor.
Something Not Working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. Before contacting your Local service Force Centre, please carry out the checks listed below.
Symptom Possible causes The door will not open ■ ■ ■ The programme is still running. The door lock has not yet released The water level in the drum is too high or the machine is heating. Spinning starts late or the machine does not spin ■ The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum.
Installation Instructions It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way. Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. Any plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent person.
Unpacking Before starting the machine up, the transport security bolts must be removed as follows: You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in case the appliance has to be transported again. ■ Unscrew and remove the three rear transit bolts (using a spanner). P0287 ■ Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed. We suggest a polystyrene angle bracket from the packing is placed on the floor before tilting it back to avoid the hoses being squashed.
Positioning Your new Zanussi washing machine has been designed to be permanently plumbed in to you home’s water supply and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it may be connected to suitable existing taps, with the drain hose discharging into the sink. Water inlet There should be a COLD WATER tap near the washing machine with a screwing on connection pipe of 3/4 gas for the water supply, a sink, a wash basin or a drainage system in the wall. Previously check if: ■ it is not a hot water tap.
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. Place the drain hose in the sink with the aid of the bent piece delivered separately. The bent piece has to be entered into the tube´s mouth in order to assure the support..
Levelling Level the washing machine by loosening or tightening the feet. Once in the right position fix the feet by pushing the nuts against the base of the case 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 screwdriver. Some vibration is inevitable, especially if mounted on a wooden floor. Sprung wooden floors are particularly susceptible to vibration.
