Your New Washing Machine
Your new washing machine, fitted with the Zanussi “JET SYSTEM”, meets all modern
requirements 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.
●
Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C
In the interest of the
before draining, with the 90°C programme. This
reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent
creasing.
environment
●
Materials marked with the symbol

are
●
●
The special wool programme with its new delicate
wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
●
●
Check with your local Council or Environmental
Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area
for re-cycling this appliance.
The anti-unbalance device ensures that the washing
machine remains stable when spinning.
When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
power supply cable and make the door lock device
unusable to prevent young children from being
trapped inside.
Ecological hints
To save water and energy and help protect the
environment, we recommend that you follow these
hints:
●
Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
disposal sites for your old appliance.
●
Normally soiled laundry may be washed without
prewashing in order to save detergent, water and
time (the environment is protected too!).
How do we help to protect the environment?
We use recycled paper!
●
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 water
hardness, the degree of soiling and the quantity of
laundry being washed.
Important
Your machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable during the spin.
If the wash load appears not to have been spun sufficiently at the end of the wash cycle, because it is not evenly
distributed in the drum, the balance control device may have operated. It will therefore be necessary to redistribute the
wash load manually and select a spin programme. For more detailed information see the section headed “Something
Not Working”.

If the previous programme is not cleared, an audible
signal will sound, when you switch the machine on.
The first time you use the washing machine, when
you switch it on, it may give an audible warning signal.
This is due to the fact that the washing machine has
performed a washing cycle during the manufacturer’s
inspection tests, and this cycle has not been erased after
its completion.

Remove the laundry from the washing machine.
Check whether the drum is completely empty, by
rotating it with your hand. The purpose of this is to
prevent any items of laundry from remaining
accidentally in the drum, where they might get damaged
in a subsequent wash (e.g. by shrinking) or bleed colour
into another load of laundry.
We advise you to close the water supply tap and
disconnect the plug from the socket.
Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care
and kept out of reach of children.
The average weights of the most common items are
listed below as a guide:
Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc. are
difficult to remove and should be treated before
washing with specific products, which can be found
in most household shops. In some cases it may help
to soak the stain before washing with a special pre-
soak product or biological detergent.

If you have used the machine to wash, rinse or spin
only non-colour fast garments, there may be dye left
in the sump. To ensure any subsequent wash is not
contaminated with the dye, select and carry out a
rinse and spin programme, without any garments, to
ensure that any dye is removed from the sump.

●
Once you have finished using the machine, you are
advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.
«JETSYSTEM» wash
●
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with
small ones.
As the Jetsystem is flexible and adjusts water intake
according to wash load size it is not possible to give you
exact recommandations as to the amount of detergent
that should be used for any one wash.
●
●
●
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.
Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may
unravel.
Therefore we recommend that you use approximately
1/3 less than the detergent manufacturer recommends on
the packet or bottle, making the appropriate allowances
for soft or hard water, and light or heavy soilage of
clothes. If you have judged the amount correctly you
should expect to see a soft sudsy liquid during the wash.
It is not necessary to have a head of lather on the water.
Before washing, empty all pockets of small objects
which may have been left inside (coins, keys, screws
etc). as these could damage the drain pump.
●
●
●
When washing curtains, remove the hooks.
Close poppers and zips and fasten loose buttons.
It is essential to wash new coloured items separately
when washing for the first time.
●
When washing fabrics requiring different wash
temperatures together, always select the lowest
temperature.
●
●
●
White items should not be washed with coloured
items.
Very small items (handkerchiefs, ribbons, socks etc)
should be washed in a washing bag or a pillow case.
Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic
washing machines.
●
●
Use the correct quantities of detergent.
For wool, use gentle detergent only in small
12
And in which form?
Not only are there different types of detergent, but they
are also available in different forms. Whether you chose
a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is
your own personal choice.
Which detergent?....
To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your
appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in
your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended
for use in automatic machines.
To maintain the appearance of your clothes and
household textiles and to make them last longer you
should use different types of detergent for different
washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates.
TRADITIONAL POWDERS
Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do
not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum.
TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS
WHITES
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of
the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start
the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in
the dispenser drawer.
Alternatively the detergent is measured into the
specially designed dosing device* which should be
placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the
machine drum.
We recommend the Ariel product
range which is biological and
designed to provide excellent
cleaning and stain removal even
at low temperatures.
NON BIOLOGICAL
If you prefer to use a non
biological detergent, which does
not contain enzymes we
recommend Fairy. Fairy provides
good cleaning and stain removal.
COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS
Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also
known) are available in liquid or powder form, and
generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to ensure the most
economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the
dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent
into the specially designed dosing device* which
should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back
of the machine drum.
COLOUREDS
For coloured items you should use a
detergent which is designed to clean
while maintaining the original colour.
Ariel Color does not contain bleach
and therefore helps to preserve
colours.
* If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer,
please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed
before carrying out a drying programme.
DELICATE ITEMS
FABRIC CONDITIONERS
These are ideal for improving ‘softness’, and also
reduce static cling on synthetics and make ironing
easier. They are available in two types:
When washing delicates such as
woollens, you should use a product
which is specially designed to care for
fine fabrics.
Dreft Automatic is suitable for
woollens and other delicates.
For example Lenor liquid fabric
softener, for use in the washing
machine/washer dryer. The
liquid fabric softener should be
poured into the compartment
LAUNDRY BLEACH
For additional stain removal you may
wish to use a product such as Ace
Gentle Bleach which is used in addition
to your chosen detergent. Ace is
suitable for all washable fabrics
including silks, woollens and coloureds.
marked with the symbol
.
Follow the manufacturer’s dosage
instructions and never exceed the
MAX level.
Bounce conditioning sheets for use
in a tumble dryer. We recommend
the conditioning sheets are pinned
(using a safety pin) to an article
of laundry and placed in the
tumble dryer.

Important Notes
For best results, always use the dispenser drawer for
dispensing detergents and liquid additives.
Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it
in gently. This is particularly important if you are using
fabric conditioner to avoid the conditioner entering the
machine prematurely.
When using liquid detergent and a prewash programme,
place the detergent into the correct compartment in the
dispenser drawer, after the prewash has finished.

the energy label, in compliance with EEC 92/75 standards.
* This data is given purely as an indication: the consumption values may vary in relation to the quantity and type of
laundry, the temperature of the water supply and the ambient temperature. The data refers to the highest temperature
provided for each programme.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity
supply.
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment
should be removed.
Descaling
The water we use normally 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.
C0067
C0066
After each wash
Leave the door open for a while. This helps to prevent
mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance.
Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to
preserve the door seal.
C0068
P1086
Maintenance Wash
Cleaning the drawer recess
With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to
get a build up of residues inside the drum.
We recommend that a maintenance wash be performed
on a regular basis.
Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean
the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is
removed from the upper and lower part of the recess.
Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme
without any clothes in the drum.
To run a maintenance wash:
●
The drum should be empty of laundry.
●
Select the hottest cotton wash programme.
●
Use a normal measure of detergent, must be a
powder (such as Ariel Futur).
External cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and
water only, and then dry thoroughly.
P0038
Cleaning the filter
The water drain filter
A clean filter is important for the correct operating of the
machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every
washing programme.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The washing powder and additive dispenser drawer
should be cleaned regularly.
Remove the drawer by pressing the catch downwards
and by pulling it out. Flush it out under a tap, to remove
any traces of accumulated powder.
Open the filter door and place a container underneath to
catch any spillage.
P0861
16
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. The water should drain by
gravity into the bowl. When the bowl is full, hook the
hose back up and empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure
until water stops flowing out.
Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.
Tighten up the inlet hose.
Unscrew and remove the filter.
P1090
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.
P0860
P0859
●
Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and
position the end of this hose and that of the inlet
hoses in a bowl. Run the draining programme.
Clean carefully under a fast running tap.
To do this:
●
Switch the machine on
●
Select a washing programme
●
Press the SKIP/RESET button three times
●
Press START/PAUSE button
●
P0040
Disconnect the appliance.
●
Screw the inlet hose and reposition the drain hose.
Warning
●
When you intend to start the machine up again, make
sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.
When the appliance is in use and depending on the
programme selected there can be hot water in the filter.
Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always
wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is
empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being
able to remove it.
The water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime
deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged.
It is therefore a good idea to clean it from time to time.
Turn off the water tap.
Unscrew the water inlet hose.

Symptom
Possible causes
●
The machine does not start
The door has not been closed.
The plug is not properly inserted in the power socket.
There is no supply at the socket.
The main fuse or the fuse in the plug has blown.
The START/PAUSE button has not been depressed.
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
●
The water tap is closed.
The machine does not fill
The filter in the inlet hose is blocked.
The inlet hose may be squashed or kinked.
The door has not been closed.
●
●
●
The machine fills then empties
immediately
The end of the drain hose is too low.
The end of the drain hose is submerged in water.
There is no vent in the end of the drain hose.
●
●
●
●
The machine does not empty and/or
does not spin
The drain hose may be squashed or kinked.
The RINSE HOLD option has been selected.
The drain filter may be blocked.
The drain hose extension, if fitted, is not correct. Follow the
instructions for connecting to the waste.
●
●
The drainage system pipes are blocked.
The wash load is unbalanced: redistribute the clothes inside the drum to
allow the machine to spin.
●
●
There is water on the floor
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too
much foam).
Check whether there are any leaks from the inlet hose fittings. It is not
always easy to see this as the water runs down the hose; check to see if
it is damp.
●
●
●
The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.
The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.
The drainage system pipes are blocked.
●
Unsatisfactory washing results
Too little detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used. An
insufficient amount of detergent leaves the laundry looking grey and
causes lime scale to form.
●
●
●
Stubborn stains have not been treated prior to washing
The correct wash programme/temperature has not been selected.
Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.
18
Symptom
Possible causes
●
The machine vibrates when spinning
The internal packing has not been removed.
The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.
The machine is not level and stable (check diagonally).
The washing load is badly distributed in the drum.
●
●
●
●
Maybe there is very little laundry in the drum.
●
The door will not open
The water level is above the bottom edge of the door.
The machine is heating the water.
The drum is turning.
●
●
The door can only be opened when the relevant light has gone out.
●
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin
is not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by
reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the
unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 15
minutes, the laundry is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the
machine will not spin. In this case, redistribute the load manually and
select the spin programme.
●
The machine makes an unusual
noise
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual
noise compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures
a softer start and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum
when spinning, as well as increased stability of the machine.
●
No water is visible in the drum
Machines based on modern technology operate very economically
using very little water without affecting performance.

to pipework that has not been used for some time, run
off a reasonable amount of water to flush out any debris
that may have collected in the pipes.
In the interest of the
environment
Washing machines and dishwashers should be
connected to the FOUL drainage system, the water will
then be taken to a sewage works for treatment before
being discharged safely into a river.
It is essential that these appliances are not connected to
the surface water drainage system as this water is
discharged directly into a river or stream and may cause
pollution.
Levelling
Level the washing machine by raising or lowering the
feet. The feet may be tight to adjust as they incorporate
a self locking nut, but the machine MUST be level and
stable (check diagonally).
If you require any further advice please contact your
local authority drainage department.
