  • Turn off the water tap.

ZANUSSI ZWH 71246 - At The End Of The Program - 1

NOTE:

At the end of the program, the time remaining can suddenly decrease from 7 minutes or less to 0 due to the overestimated total program time during the load sensing phase. In some cases (with perfectly balanced load) the program time can be shorter than the time estimated after the load sensing phase is completed. This is a normal behavior of the machine and not a cause for concern as it does not compromise its performance.

WASHING HINTS6.

6.1 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.

6.2 Temperatures

90°CFor normally soiled white cottons and linen (e.g. teacloths, towels, tablecloths, sheets...).
60°C50°CFor normally soiled, colourfast garments (e.g. shirts, night dresses, pajamas....) in linen, cotton or synthetic fibres and for lightly soiled white cotton (e.g. underwear).
40°C30°C ColdFor delicate items (e.g. net curtains), mixed laundry including synthetic fibres and woollens bearing the label pure new wool, machine washable, non-shrink.

6.3 Before Loading The Laundry

  • 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.
  • Wash bras, pantyhose and other delicates in a mesh laundry bag, which you can purchase from your supermarket.

ZANUSSI ZWH 71246 - Before Loading The Laundry - 1

text_image Diagram illustrating proper clothing and garment usage, showing hand positioning, nozzles, and a bag with plastic bag.

- Make sure that you wash lint collectors separately from lint producers.

  • 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.
  • 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 a net.

6.4 Maximum Loads

Recommended loads are indicated in the program 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.

6.5 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 in cold water. 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.

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.

6.6 Detergents Type And Quantity Of Detergent

Low sudsing detergent is required for this washing machine to prevent oversudsing problems, unsatisfied washing result and harm to the machine. Low sudsing detergents designed for front load washing machines are labelled “Front Loading”, “high efficiency”, “HE”, such as Cold Power for Front Loaders or “Matic”.

Do not use wrong types of detergent, such as Top Loading, Handwash detergent or Soap-Based products in your frontload washing machine. This can result in excessive suds, longer cycle time, low spin speeds, poor rinsing and overloading of the motor.

Quantity of detergent to be used

The choice of detergent and use of correct quantities not only affects your wash performance, but also helps 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 and quantity of detergent will depend on ;

  • type of fabric (delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.);
    • the colour of clothes ;
  • size of the load ;
  • degree of soil ;
  • wash temperature ; and
  • hardness of the water used.

Water hardness is classified by 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.

You may have to try using the detergent quantity as per manufacturers' instructions then compare the wash result to the list below and adjust the amount of detergent for your future washes accordingly.

Not enough washing powder causes:

• the washload to turn grey,
- greasy clothes.

Too much washing powder causes:

  • sudsing,
    • reduced washing effect,
  • inadequate rinsing.

Use less detergent if:

  • you are washing a small load,
    • the laundry is lightly soiled,
    • large amounts of foam during washing.

text_image Diagram showing two scenarios of washing machine replacement, one without a prohibition sign and the other with a checkmark.

Never place cardboard, wood or similar materials under the machine to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets, rugs etc.

Check that the machine does not touch the wall or cupboard units.

11.3 Water Inlet

Connect the water inlet hose to a tap with 3/4" BSP thread.

Use the hose supplied with the washing machine. DO NOT USE OLD HOSES.

The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap, you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially designed for this type of use.

Loosen the ring nut to angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap. Do not place the inlet hose downwards. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut again to prevent leaks.

11.4 Water Drainage

The end of the drain hose can be positioned in three ways:

- Hooked over the edge of a sink, using the plastic hose guide supplied with the machine.

In this case, make sure the end cannot come unhooked when the machine will be emptied. This could be done by tying it to the tap with a piece of string or attaching it to the wall.

• In a sink, drain pipe branch.

This branch must be above the trap so that the bend is at least 60 cm above the ground.

Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip, ensure a loop is formed in the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering the appliance.

If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.

- Directly into a drain pipe, at a height of not less than 60 cm and not more than 90 cm.

text_image Max. 90 cm Min. 60 cm

The end of the drain hose must always be ventilated, i.e. the inside diameter of the drain pipe must be larger than the outside diameter of the drain hose.

The drain hose must not be twisted or curled. Run it along the floor; only the part near the drainage point must be raised.

For the correct functioning of the machine, the drain hose must remain hooked on the proper support piece situated on the top part of back side of the appliance.

12.3 Ecological Hints

To save water, energy and to help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these tips:

  • Normally soiled laundry may be washed without prewashing in order to save detergent, water and time (the environment is protected too!).
  • The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded.
  • With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soil can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature.
    • Measure out detergent according to the water hardness, the degree of soil and the quantity of laundry being washed.
