    If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please
    adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely.
    Child Safety
    This appliance is designed to be operated by adults.
    Children should not be allowed to tamper with the
    controls or play with the product.
    Pets and children have been known to climb into
    washing machines. Please check your drum before
    use.
    The glass door becomes very hot during the washing
    cycle. Keep children away from the vicinity of the
    appliance whilst it is in operation.
    Keep all packaging well away from children.
    Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s
    reach.
    Use
    Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water
    supply after use.
    Do not overload the appliance. See relevant section
    in the instruction book.
    Always look through the glass door to check if water
    has drained before opening the door.
    The user should always check that they have not left
    their gas lighter (disposable or otherwise) in their
    clothing.
    Only wash fabrics which are designed to be machine
    washed. If in doubt, consult the care label on the
    clothes.
    Before washing, ensure that all pockets are empty
    and buttons and zips are fastened. Avoid washing
    frayed or torn articles and treat stains such as paint,
    ink, rust, and grass before washing. Underwired bras
    must NOT be machine washed.
    Any objects such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws,
    stones or any other hard, sharp material can cause
    extensive damage and must not be placed into the
    machine.
    Garments which have been in contact with volatile
    petroleum products should not be machine washed.
    If volatile cleaning fluids are used, care should be
    taken to ensure that the fluid is removed from the
    garment before placing in the machine.
    Wash small items such as socks, laces, washable
    belts etc in a washing bag or pillow case as it is
    possible for such items to slip down between the tub
    and the inner drum.
    Only use the advised quantities of fabric softener.
    Damage to the fabric can ensue if you over-fill.
    Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations of
    quantities.
    As some duvets and eiderdowns should be washed
    in large commercial machines because of their bulk,
    please check with the manufacturer of the item
    before washing in a domestic machine.
    Leave the porthole door slightly ajar between washes
    to preserve the door seal.
    Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair
    the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by
    inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
    malfunctioning. Contact your local Service Force
    Centre. Always insist on genuine Zanussi spare

    Your New Washing Machine
    Your new washing machine meets all modern requirements for effective treatment of laundry
    with low water, energy and detergent consumption.
    The programme selector dialcombines the
    function of programme and temperature selection,
    making it easier to set the programme.
    The programme progress displayshows the delay
    start, the functioning of the machine and the end of
    the programme .
    The special wool programmewith its new delicate
    wash system treats your woollens with extreme care.
    The ECO VALVEallows total use of detergent and
    reduces water consumption so saving energy.
    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.
    A programme without prewash is sufficient for
    normally soiled laundry.
    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, so saving energy.
    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 lock device
    unusable to prevent young children from being
    trapped inside.
    Help to keep your country tidy - use authorised
    disposal sites for your old appliance. 
    The symbol  on the product or on its packaging
    indicates that this product may not be treated as
    household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to
    the applicable collection point for the recycling of
    electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this
    product is disposed of correctly, you will help
    prevent potential negative consequences for the
    environment and human health, which could
    otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling
    of this product. For more detailed information about
    recycling of this product, please contact your local
    city office, your household waste disposal service or
    the shop where you purchased the product.
    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".
