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  
recyclable.  
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”.

START/PAUSE button light flashes to indicate that the  
water must be drained. The display shows a steadily lit  
zero.

zero appears on the display and the audible signal is  
given.  
If it is necessary to drain the water in order to change the  
programme in progress, proceed as follows:  
PAUSE the machine by pressing the START/PAUSE  
button;  
• press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly, until only  
the DRAIN light remains lit;  
• press the START/PAUSE button again.  
When the water has been drained, the display shows a  
blinking zero. You may now select a new programme  
and press the START/PAUSE button to start it.  
The DOOR LOCKED light goes out at once.  
Press the SKIP/RESET button repeatedly to erase  
the programme that has just been carried out. If you  
omit to do this, the next time you switch the washing  
machine on, the blinking zero will appear on the  
display and you will hear the audible signal.  
13. How to cancel a programme  
during its cycle  
To cancel a programme that is being carried out, first  
pause the washing machine by pressing the  
START/PAUSE button, then press the SKIP/RESET  
button repeatedly, until the display shows three blinking  
dashes.  
Note: when you switch the machine on, if you must  
erase the previously performed programme, it is also  
sufficient to press the FABRIC button and select a new  
programme.  
Press the ON/OFF button to switch the machine off.  
The relevant light will go out.  
14. How to open the door during  
the cycle of a programme  
You can open the door, after having set the washing  
machine to PAUSE, provided the following conditions  
exist:  
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.  
• the washing machine is not in the heating phase  
beyond 55°C;  
• the level of the water is not high;  
• the drum is not turning.  
We advise you to close the water supply tap and  
disconnect the plug from the socket.  
If these requirements are met, when you pause the  
washing machine, the DOOR LOCKED light goes out  
and the door can be opened.  
Leave the door ajar in order to air the washing machine.

Washing Hints  
Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the  
Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care  
and kept out of reach of children.  
first few times you use the appliance.  
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.  
The average weights of the most common items are  
listed below as a guide:  
1000g = 1 kg  
Sheet  
700-1000 g  
100-200 g  
400-500 g  
50-100 g  
Pillow case  
Tablecloth  
Only wool marked “Pure New Wool - washable,  
preshrunk” can be washed in the machine using the  
wool programme; other types of wool should be  
washed by hand or dry cleaned.  
Serviette  
Tea towel  
70-120 g  
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.  
Linen hand towel  
Towelling hand towel

Once you have finished using the machine, you are  
advised to unplug it and turn off the water tap.

«JETSYSTEM» wash  
As the Jetsystem is flexible and adjusts water intake  
according to wash load size it is not possible to give you  
exact recommendations as to the amount of detergent  
that should be used for any one wash.  
Load the laundry loosely alternating large items with  
small ones.  
Sort the laundry according to the type of fabric,  
colour-fastness and how dirty it is.  
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.  
Avoid washing unhemmed or torn items as they may  
unravel.  
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  
quantities.  
14  
 
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  
Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of  
the detergent drawer marked with the symbol  
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.  
WHITES  
We recommend the Ariel product  
range which is biological and  
designed to provide excellent  
cleaning and stain removal even  
at low temperatures.  
, start  
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 “coloured cotton programme” at 60°C is the reference programme for the data entered in 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.  
17  
 
Maintenance and Cleaning  
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you  
must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity  
supply.  
Descaling  
The water we use normally contains lime. It is a good  
idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the  
C0067  
C0066  
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. This helps to prevent  
mould and stagnant smells forming inside the appliance.  
Keeping the door open after a wash will also help to  
C0068  
P1086  
preserve the door seal.  
Cleaning the drawer recess  
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.  
Maintenance Wash  
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.  
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).  
P0038  
External cleaning  
Clean the exterior cabinet of the appliance with soap and  
water only, and then dry thoroughly.  
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 by pulling it towards the right.  
Place a container under the filter to catch any spillage.  
To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment  
should be removed.  
18  
 
Release the emergency emptying hose, place it in the  
container, and remove its cap by unscrewing it.  
Clean the filter using a hard bristle brush.  
Tighten up the inlet hose.  
P1090  
P1062  
When no more water comes out, unscrew the filter and  
remove it.  
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.  
Place the end of the inlet hose and that of the  
emergency emptying hose in a bowl placed on the  
floor and let the water drain out.  
P1061  
P1060  
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,  
screwing it fully in.  
Screw the water inlet hose back on and put the  
emergency emptying hose back in its place after  
having screwed the cap on again.  
When you intend to start the machine up again, make  
sure that the room temperature is above 0°C.  
Emergency emptying out  
If the machine is unable to drain, proceed as follows to  
empty out the machine:  
P0040  
Pull out the plug from the power socket.  
Put the cap back on the emergency emptying hose,  
place the latter back in its seat. Close the filter door.  
Close the water tap.  
If necessary, wait until the water has cooled down.  
Place a bowl on the floor under the filter and place  
Warning  
the end of the emergency emptying hose into the  
bowl. The water should drain by gravity into the  
bowl. When the bowl is full, screw the cap on again.  
Empty the bowl. Repeat the procedure until water  
stops flowing out.  
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.  
Clean the filter if necessary.  
At the end screw the filter again.  
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.

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.  
IMPORTANT: if you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or  
installation, a charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.  
During machine operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes appears on the display:  
- E10 : problem with the water supply  
- E20 : problem with water draining  
- E40 : door open  
Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button  
to restart the programme. If after all  
checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Force Centre.  
Symptom  
Possible causes  
The machine does not start  
The door has not been closed. (E40)  
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 DELAY option has been selected.  
The water tap is closed. (E10)  
The machine does not fill  
The filter in the inlet hose is blocked. (E10)  
The inlet hose may be squashed or kinked. (E10)  
The door has not been closed. (E40)  
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. (E20)  
The NIGHT WASH option has been selected.  
The drain filter may be blocked. (E20)  
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.  
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.  
There is water on the floor  
The drain hose may be damaged or not securely positioned.  
The detergent dispenser drawer or recess is clogged.  
The drainage system pipes are blocked.  
The emergency emptying hose has not been plugged.  
The drain hose has not been screwed fully in.  
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.  
Unsatisfactory washing results  
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.  
20  
 
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  
Spinning starts late or the machine  
does not spin  
laundry 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.  
Before calling out an engineer, please ensure you have  
read the details under the heading “Something Not  
Working”.

Remove the polystyrene block from the bottom of the  
machine and release the two plastic bags.  
Very carefully slide out the left polythene bag, removing  
it towards the right and then downwards.  
Your new washing machine has been designed to be  
permanently plumbed in to your home’s water supply  
and drainage system. However, if this is not possible, it  
may be connected to a suitable existing tap with the  
drain hose discharging into a sink.

The appliance has an inlet hose, with female 3/4” BSP  
thread connector. If this connection is not compatible  
with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety  
of connectors are available from good hardware stores  
and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic  
plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing  
must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified  
plumber.  
P1124  
P1126  
Repeat the operation for the right polythene bag,  
removing it towards the left and then upwards.  
Installation on a Suspended Floor  
Suspended wooden floors are particularly susceptible to  
vibration. To help prevent vibration we recommend you  
place a waterproof wood panel, at least 15 mm thick  
under the appliance, secured to at least 2 floor beams  
with screws. If possible install the appliance in one of  
the corners of the room, where the floor is more stable.  
P1127  
Remove the polystyrene base.

Water inlet  
Connect the hose to a tap with a 3/4” thread.  
Do not use, for connection, old hoses that have been  
used for another appliance.  
Water drainage  
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed  
into your home's water supply and drainage system.  
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe,  
the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic  
“U-Piece” supplied.  
P1088  
Installation should comply with local water authority  
and building regulations’ requirements.  
P1074  
The appliance must be connected to a cold water  
supply.  
The standpipe should have an internal diameter of  
approximately 38mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there  
is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.  
A minimum water pressure of 50 kPa (0.5 bar) is  
required for safe operation of the appliance.

If you cannot make the cold water connection direct  
from the rising mains, you may be able to operate the  
appliance from your cold water storage system.  
38 mm.(1/2") diameter  
standpipe  
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m  
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of  
the water storage tank.  
P1040  
Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring nut. After  
positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten the ring nut  
again to prevent leaks.  
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of  
the curve in the hose end is no more than 90cm (35.4'')  
and no less than 60cm (23.6'') above floor level. The  
upright standpipe should have a minimum length of  
30cm (12'') from the bottom of the elbow to the top of  
the pipe (see diagram).

P0021  
P1039  
Make sure that it is designed in such a way, that the end  
of the drain hose cannot be covered with water. The  
drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres.  
25  
 
An additional drain hose and joining piece  
is available from your local Service Force Centre.  
The joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18mm.  
Special conditions  
If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft  
material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to  
prevent noise, vibration or displacement. The base  
should protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of  
the machine.  
If you intend the drain hose to empty into a sink, make  
sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole is not  
blocked. Use the plastic “U-Piece” supplied.  
Warning  
The machine should NOT be placed on deep pile  
carpeting.  
Note  
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is  
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a  
breakdown.  
P0022  
Important  
Before connecting up the machine to new pipework or  
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 water authority.  
P1051  
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.  
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and  
displacement of the machine during operation.
