Your New Washing Machine
i
Your new washing machine, fitted with the Zanussi “JET SYSTEM”, meets all modern needs for
effective treatment of laundry with low water, energy and detergent consumption.
Even small loads are washed “economically” because the amount of water used is regulated
automatically according to the load and type of fabric.
■
The “Memory” buttons make it possible to store
the wash programmes most used, which are then
easy to recall when needed.
■
The possibility of selecting the temperature, spin
speed and all the options offered by this washing
machine gives you truly “customised” washing.
■
The DELAY START option allows you to delay
starting of the wash programme to any time of day,
so allowing you- for instance- to make use of
overnight economy electricity tariffs.
■
Fuzzy Logic technology enables the washing time
in the White cotton and Coloured cotton
programmes to be calculated automatically
according to the weight of the laundry.
■
Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C
before draining, with the 95°C programme, prevents
distortion of plastic pipes in the domestic water
system due to the high temperature of the water.
■
The special wool programme with its new delicate
wash system treats your woollen with extreme
gentleness.
■
The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing
machine remains stable when spinning.
Ecological hints
To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:
■
Adjust the quantity of detergent according to the
hardness of your water supply, the amount of
laundry and the degree of soiling.
■
Select an “economy” programme for normally soiled
laundry and a “quick” programme for lightly soiled
laundry.
■
A programme without prewash is sufficient for
normally soiled laundry.
In the interest
of the environment
■
Materials marked with the symbol are
recyclable.
■
Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
for re-cycling this appliance.
■
When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door closing
device unusable to prevent young children from
being trapped inside.
■
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
How do we help to protect the environment?
We use recycled paper!
Installation
■
When unpacking the appliance, check that it is not
damaged. If in doubt, do not use it and contact the

not be used for purposes other than those for which
it was designed.
■
Do not overload the appliance. Follow the
instructions in the instruction book.
■
Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine
washed. Follow the instructions on each garment
label.
■
Make sure that all pockets are empty. Objects such
as coins, safety pins, pins and screws can cause
extensive damage.
■
Do not machine wash garments saturated with
petroleum, methylated spirits, trichlorethylene, etc. If
such fluids have been used to remove stains prior to
washing, wait until they have completely evaporated
from the fabric before placing garments in the
appliance.
■
Place small items such as socks, belts, etc. in a cloth
bag or pillowcase to prevent them getting trapped
between the drum and the tub.
■
Use only the recommended quantities of fabric
softener. An excessive amount could damage the
laundry.
■
Leave the porthole door slightly ajar when the
appliance is not in use. This preserves the door seal
and prevents the formation of musty smells.

tested before leaving the factory.
Note: It is advisable to make a note of the programme
stored for each “Memory” button.
2 ON/OFF-Cancel button
This button has two functions:
- switch the machine on/off
- cancel a programme which is running
Press the button to switch the machine on, press it again
to switch the machine off or to cancel a programme
which is running.
3 “Fabrics” button
Press this button to select the type of wash required:
White cotton, Synthetic, etc. The pilot light
corresponding to the type of wash selected comes on
and the washing time flashes on the display (9); times
are calculated on the basis of a maximum load of 5 kg
for cotton, 2 kg for delicate and synthetics and 1 kg for
wool.
After about 20 minutes (the time it takes the machine to
calculate the weight of the laundry) the washing time is
updated (only for cottons).
The machine automatically selects the maximum
temperature and spin speed based on the type of wash
selected: the corresponding pilot lights come on.
These values can be modified by pressing the
TEMPERATURE and SPIN SPEED buttons.
The “Fabrics” button cannot be used when the

4 “TEMPERATURE” button
Press this button if you wish to set a different
temperature from that suggested by the machine for the
type of wash selected (see programme chart): the
corresponding pilot light comes on.
The COLD position is for a wash with cold water.
5 SPIN SPEED button
Press this button to select the required spin speed,
remembering that:
- for cottons (White cotton, Coloured cotton) the
maximum spin speed is 1500 rpm;
- for synthetics and wool (Synthetic, Wool) the
maximum spin speed is 1000 rpm;
- for delicate fabrics (Delicate) the maximum spin
speed is 700 rpm.
When the RINSE HOLD option is selected, the last
rinse water is not emptied out, so as to avoid creasing of
the fabrics: the pilot light flashes at the end of the
programme to indicate that the water must be emptied
out.
This can be done in three ways:
- select a spin speed and press the START/PAUSE
button
- just press the START/PAUSE button; after emptying,
the machine performs the spin cycle for the type of
wash selected
- select the DRAIN programme to empty out the
water without spinning.
The RINSE HOLD option can also be selected for
the wool programme: the last rinse water is emptied
out but the machine does not spin.
If the water is not emptied out, the machine
automatically empties itself after 18 hours.
6 “OPTIONS” button
This button can be used to select the following options:
- PREWASH: the machine performs a prewash cycle
at 40°C max. and the wash cycle is extended by
about 10 minutes. The prewash cycle ends with a
short spin for the White cotton, Coloured cotton and
Synthetic programmes, and with emptying of the
water only for the Delicate programme.
- QUICK WASH: by selecting this option the
washing time is reduced. For use when washing
lightly soiled laundry.
This option is not available with the wool
programme.
- ECONOMY: this option is only available with the
White cotton 95°C, Coloured cotton 60°C and
Synthetic 60°C programmes: the 95°C wash is
carried out at about 67°C, whilst the 60°C wash is
carried out at about 45°C for cotton and 40°C for
synthetics: the 60°C or 40°C pilot lights flash.
The washing time is slightly longer to compensate
for the reduction in temperature.
For use when washing normally soiled laundry, in
order to save energy.
Important: the PREWASH, QUICK WASH and
ECONOMY options cannot be selected together:
one automatically disables the others.
8
7 “Special Programmes” button
Pressing this button selects the following options:
- EXTRA RINSE: can be selected with all
programmes except the wool programme. The
machine performs 4 rinses instead of 3.
This option is recommended for people who are
allergic to detergents and in areas where the water is
very soft.
This option can only be selected after having
pressed the FABRICS button to select the required
wash programme.
- SOAK: select this option for heavily soiled laundry.
This function cannot be used with the wool
programme. The machine performs a soak at 40°C
and stops with the water in the drum. The water can
be emptied out in 2 ways:
- empty only by pressing the START/PAUSE button;
- empty and spin using the SPIN SPEED and
START/PAUSE buttons.
If the water is not emptied out within 18 hours, the
machine empties automatically. The drum turns from
time to time during soaking.
At the end of the soak, and after having emptied out
the water (the three zeros on the display flash), select
the required wash programme or call one up using
the “memory” buttons, then start the machine by
pressing the START/PAUSE button.
- RINSES: with this option, it is possible to rinse and
spin garments which have been washed by hand,
such as synthetics or delicates and types of wool
which are not machine washable.
The machine performs 3 delicate rinses with a high
water level, followed by a final spin at 700 rpm. It is
of course also possible to select a slower spin speed
(500 rpm) or a higher spin speed (max. 1000 rpm)
using the appropriate button.
Important: if you wash cotton fabrics by hand and
select a spin speed of 1500 rpm, the machine will
perform 3 rinses with a low water level, a number of
intermediate spins and a final spin at 1500 rpm;
particularly recommended for cottons.
- SPIN: when this option is selected, the machine
performs a spin at 700 rpm. Different spin speeds
can be selected by pressing the appropriate button,
but always take into account the type of fabric
washed.
- DRAIN: this programme can be selected to empty
out the water (e.g. for programmes with which the
RINSE HOLD option has been selected).
8 FRESHEN UP button
This is a complete programme in its own right, that is
not compatible with any of the other options, except
DELAY START. For use with laundry which is lightly
soiled or which needs freshening up (max. 2 kg). The
machine performs a 30 minute wash cycle at 30°C, with
a final spin at 700 rpm.
9 TIME TO FINISH display
This display provides the following information:
- three flashing dashes
appear immediately after pressing the ON/OFF
button and indicate that the machine is ready to
receive instructions for the required wash
programme;
- Duration of the selected wash programme,
calculated automatically on the basis of the
maximum recommended load for each type of
fabric. The figures on the display flash until the
machine is started with the START button.
After the programme has started, the time remaining
is updated every 10 minutes, and every 5 minutes
during the last 20 minutes.
About 20 minutes after the programme has started,
the time remaining is updated on the basis of the
actual load size being washed (cottons only).
When the programme has finished, after the door
lock has released, three flashing zeros are displayed.
- Delayed start, programmed using the special button
(11).
The selected delay (19 hours max.) is indicated in
the display. The countdown is updated every hour,
and every 5 minutes during the last hour.
- PAUSE: when the START/PAUSE is pressed while
a wash programme is running, the figures in the
display, which indicate the time remaining, start to
flash.
- Machine heating phase. A dot to the right of the
figures in the display indicates that the machine is
heating the water.
- Incorrect option selection. If an option which is not
compatible with the set wash programme is selected,
the message Err is displayed.

To restart the programme from the point at which it was
interrupted, press the START/PAUSE button again.
c) Empty out water
At the end of a programme which stops with water in
the drum (RINSE HOLD option), or after the soak
programme, press the START/PAUSE button to empty
out the water: after a soak programme, the machine will
empty only; after RINSE HOLD programmes, the
machine will empty and spin.
11 DELAY START button
This button allows starting of the machine to be delayed
by a maximum of 19 hours.
The button must be pressed before pressing the
START/PAUSE button.
The figures indicating the required delay appear in the
display next to the button. After one minute, the
machine starts its countdown (every hour).
During the last hour, the remaining time is displayed
every 5 minutes.
The delayed start function cannot be used with the
SPIN and DRAIN programmes.

START/PAUSE button, then press the DELAY START
button until the required value is displayed or, if you
wish to cancel the delay, until the symbol h is
displayed.
Then press the START/PAUSE button again.
When the delay is cancelled, the display shows the
duration of the wash programme previously selected.
12 Operating pilot lights
The pilot lights come on individually, or in groups,
according to the options selected.
The pilot lights flash for about three seconds if wash
options are incorrectly selected. The message Err is
displayed.
10
Modification of a programme
which is running
To modify a programme, first set the machine to PAUSE
by pressing the START/PAUSE button. Before the
machine starts the heating phase, i.e. within the first 15
minutes for cotton programmes, 10 minutes for
synthetic and delicate programmes and 5 minutes for the
wool programme, the following parameters can be
modified:
- Fabrics
- Temperature
- ECONOMY or QUICK WASH.
The PREWASH option can be cancelled, but cannot be
added, once the programme has started.
The SPIN option can be modified before the final spin
and the EXTRA RINSE option can be cancelled before
the rinse cycle starts.
To restart the wash programme, press the
START/PAUSE button again.
Opening the door after the
programme has started
The door can only be opened before the machine starts
the heating phase (within the first 15, 10 or 5 minutes,
depending on the programme selected - see paragraph
above).
Set the machine to PAUSE (by pressing the
START/PAUSE button).
If the door does not open, this means that the machine is
already heating, or that the water level is above the
bottom edge of the door.
This prevents large quantities of water from gushing out
when the door is opened.
The door can only be opened when the pilot light next
to the handle goes out.
11
Operating Sequence

Washing Hints
i
Sorting the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment label
and the manufacturer’s washing instructions.
Sort the laundry as follows:
whites, coloureds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Temperatures
95°
for normally soiled white cottons and linen
(e.g. tea cloths, towels, tablecloths,
sheets...)
60°
for normally soiled, colour fast garments
(e.g. shirts, night dresses, pyjamas....) in
linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for
lightly soiled white cotton (e.g.
underwear).
(cold)
30°-40°
for delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed
laundry including synthetic fibres and
woollens bearing the label «pure new
wool, machine washable, non-shrink»
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.
Make sure that no metal objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair clips, safety pins, pins).
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 detergent or
detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or tie
them up in a bag or net.
Maximum loads
Recommended loads are indicated in the programme
charts.
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
Washing a maximum load makes the most efficient use
of water and energy.
For heavily soiled laundry, reduce the load size.
Laundry weights
The following weights are indicative:
bathrobe 1200 g
napkin 100 g
quilt cover 700 g
sheet 500 g
pillow case 200 g
tablecloth 250 g
towelling towel 200 g
tea cloth 100 g
night dress 200 g
ladies’ briefs 100 g
man’s work shirt 600 g
man’s shirt 200 g
man’s pyjamas 500 g
blouse 100 g
men’s underpants 100 g
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 special 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 cellulose structure will
already have been damaged 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).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone (*), lay
the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
15
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then treat
stains with methylated spirits. Remove any residual
marks from white fabrics 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 (*), then with acetic acid; treat any
residual marks on white fabrics with bleach and then
rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated
spirits or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
(*) do not use acetone on artificial silk
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 environment. 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 soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents
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 temperature
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 dispenser drawer
before starting the wash programme.
If using concentrated powder or liquid detergents, a
programme without prewash must be selected.
Pour liquid detergent into the dispenser drawer
compartment marked just before starting the
programme.
Any fabric softener or starching additives must be
poured into the compartment marked before starting
the wash programme.
Follow the product manufacturer’s recommendations on
quantities to use.
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.
Water hardness is classified in so-called “degrees” 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.
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.

Maintenance and Cleaning
1. Bodywork
Clean the outside of the machine with warm water and a
neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Rinse with
clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Important: do not use methylated spirits, solvents or
similar products to clean the bodywork.
2. Detergent dispenser drawer
After a while, detergents and fabric softeners leave
deposits in the drawer.
Clean the drawer from time to time by rinsing it under a
running tap. To remove the drawer from the machine,
press the button in the rear left-hand corner.
To facilitate cleaning, the top part of the additive
compartments can be removed.
Detergent can also eventually accumulate inside the
drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the
drawer after cleaning.
3. Water inlet filter
If you notice that the machine is taking longer to fill,
check that the filter in the water inlet hose is not
blocked.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the hose from the tap and remove the filter.
Clean it with a stiff brush.
Refit the filter and screw the hose back onto the tap.

4. Drain filter
The drain filter collects threads and small objects
inadvertently left in the laundry. Check regularly that the
filter is clean.
Open the filter door.
Place a container under the filter and unscrew it.
Pull out the filter.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully in.
5. Emergency emptying out
If the water is not discharged (drain pump is blocked,
filter or drain hose are clogged), proceed as follows to
empty out the machine:
■
pull out the plug from the power socket;
■
close the water tap;
■
if necessary, wait until the water has cooled down;
■
place a bowl on the floor;
■
put the drain hose end into the bowl and let the water
come out.
Should it not be possible to have access to the drain
hose because, for example, the appliance is built in the
kitchen furniture, slightly loosen the drain filter after
placing a bowl on the floor, to let the water come out
slowly.
At the end screw the filter again.

6. The dangers of freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C,
certain precautions should be taken.
■
Turn off the water tap.
■
Unscrew the inlet hose.
■
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet
hose in a bowl. Run the draining programme.
■
Switch the machine off.
■
Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.
■
When you intend to start the machine up again,
make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
