i Your New Washer-Dryer
Your new washer-dryer, 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 machine
gives you truly “customised” washing.
The DELAY START option allows you to delay
starting of the wash or drying 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 drying programmes will enable you to have
dry and soft laundry in a short time.
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.

Dry only items which have been washed in water.
Use only the recommended quantities of fabric
softener. An excessive amount could damage the
laundry.
Plastic detergent dispensers should not remain in the
drum during the drying cycle, as the plastic used is
not designed to withstand the heat. If you wish to
wash and dry automatically (NON-STOP operation)
you should use the conventional detergent dispenser
drawer.
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.
Always check that water has emptied out before
opening the door. If not, drain the water following
the instructions in the instruction book.
Always unplug the appliance and shut the water tap
after use.
■
This appliance is designed for domestic use. It must
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 and dry fabrics which are designed to be
machine washed and dried. 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.
■
In the event of a fault, do not attempt to repair the

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.
A previously selected wash or drying programme can be
stored or recalled by pressing these buttons.
To store: select the required programme using the
various buttons available (see section “Operating
sequence”), then start the machine by pressing the
START/PAUSE button. Only then can the programme
be stored by pressing one of the “Memory” buttons until
the corresponding pilot light comes on.
If the “Memory” button pressed does not yet have a
programme stored, the pilot light flashes for two
seconds.
A stored programme can be modified by pressing the
required buttons before starting the machine with the
START/PAUSE button.
To recall a programme: press the required “Memory”
button; the pilot lights corresponding to the stored
programme come on. Press the START/PAUSE button
to start the machine.
Warning! Your machine may already have a
programme stored. This means that it has been carefully
tested before leaving the factory.
Note: It is advisable to make a note of the programme
stored for each “Memory” button.
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); time is
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 following
programmes are selected:
- Soak
- Mini
- Rinses
- Drain
- Spin
6
4 “TEMPERATURE” button
6 “OPTIONS” (Special
Programmes) 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.
By depressing this button you can select two different
functions:
- additional options for the selected washing
programme
- separate special programmes.
Important!
The first and second light have a double meaning:
- Prewash/Soak
- Quick/Mini.
5 SPIN SPEED button
This button has two functions:
- selection of the spin speed or of the Rinse Hold
option;
- separate spin programme.
Additional options
After selecting the wash programme you can add one of
the following functions:
■ PREWASH: the machine performs a prewash cycle
at 40°C max. The prewash cycle ends with a short
spin for the White cotton, Coloured cotton and
Synthetic programmes, and with emptying of the
water for the Delicate programme.
This option is not available with the wool
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.
Selection of the spin speed:
- for cottons (White cotton, Coloured cotton) the
maximum spin speed is 1500 or 1200 rpm;
- for synthetics and wool the maximum spin speed is
900 rpm;
- for delicate fabrics the maximum spin speed is 700
rpm.
Selection of the RINSE HOLD option
When this option is selected, the last rinse water is not
emptied out, so as to avoid creasing of the fabrics: the
corresponding 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.
Separate special programmes
Attention! When selecting these programmes the
“FABRICS” button has not to be depressed.
- switch the machine on
- select the desired special programme
- depress START/PAUSE button to start the
programme.
Separate spin programme
To be used to spin hand washed laundry:
- switch the machine on by depressing the ON-OFF
button

- depress START/PAUSE button.
7
8 DRYING TIME button
SOAK: for heavily soiled laundry, not for wool.
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.
■ MINI-PROGRAMME: 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 650 rpm.
■ RINSES: with this programme, 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
or a higher spin speed using the appropriate button.
Important: if you wash cotton fabrics by hand and
select a spin speed of 1500 or 1200 rpm, the
machine will perform 3 rinses with a low water
level, a number of intermediate spins and a final spin
at 1500 or 1200 rpm; particularly recommended for
cottons.
If you select a spin speed of 900 rpm, the machine
will perform 3 rinses at high water level.
■ DRAIN: this programme can be selected to empty
out the water (e.g. for programmes with which the
RINSE HOLD option has been selected).
■
By depressing this button you can select the desired
drying time according to the fabrics (cotton or
synthetics) you have to dry.
■ If you select COTTON, the appliance will dry at full
heating power.
■ If you choose SYNTHETICS drying will be
performed at a reduced heating power.
If you select SYNTHETICS and then you wish to
change into COTTON, depress the AUTO DRY
button for about 2 seconds until the cotton light turns
on.
To select the drying time you have to push the button
until the drying time you want appears in the display.
For COTTON you can select a drying time from 15
minutes to 2 hours and 10 minutes (2.10).
For SYNTHETICS you can select a time from 10
minutes to 1 hours and 40 minutes (1.40).
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 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.

out the water: after a soak programme, the machine will
empty only; after RINSE HOLD programmes, the
machine will empty and spin.
Opening the door after the wash
programme has started
11 DELAY START button
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.
This button allows starting of the machine to be delayed
by a maximum of 19 hours.
The button must be pressed after selecting the
programme and 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.
To modify or cancel the preset delay, press the
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 0h is
displayed.
Then press the START/PAUSE button again.

Removing stains
Before loading the laundry
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.
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.
16
Quantity of detergent to be used
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
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.
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.

Preparing the drying cycle
Duration of the drying cycle
As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation
principle.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain
hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain
pipe, even during the drying cycle.
The drying time can vary according to
• the final spin speed,
• the required degree of drying,
• the type of laundry
• the size of load.
Load
Sort of laundry
max. load
(dry weight)
Linen and cottons
The usual drying times for the time controlled drying
are indicated in the programme chart. As you become
more familiar with the appliance, you will discover the
drying times that best suit your needs according to the
various type of fabric. It is a good idea to make a note of
these times.
The following are the degrees of final drying which can
be selected with the automatic drying:
■ Cotton
- Extra dry
- Store dry
- Iron dry
■ Synthetics
- Store dry
To finish off drying or to dry small loads you can
choose a time controlled drying.
When selecting the drying time you should remember
that it includes a 10 minute cooling phase.
This phase cannot be shortened, stopped or avoided, as
this could cause skin burns or damage the laundry.
2.5 kg
Synthetics
2 kg
Warning:
Loads of washed laundry exceeding these values
must be divided before being dried, otherwise poor
results will be obtained.
Garments not suitable for drying
• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains,
woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon
stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks,
bedcovers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not
be machine dried.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials
similar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried;
they represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residues of setting lotions or
hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must
not be machine dried in order to avoid the formation
of harmful vapours.
Additional drying
Should the laundry still be too wet at the end of the
programme, set another short drying time.
Warning! To prevent the formation of creases or
shrinking of fabrics, avoid excessive drying.
Drying symbols on garment labels
Fibre residue
Always look at the garment label to check whether
garments can be machine dried.
The following symbols refer to drying:
After drying fluffy fabrics, such as new towels, it is
advisable to perform the rinse programme to be sure
that any residue that may remain in the tub is
completely removed and does not stick to garments
dried afterwards.
After each drying cycle the filter should be checked and
cleaned if necessary.

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.
P0224
Detergent can also eventually accumulate inside the
drawer recess: clean it with an old toothbrush. Refit the
drawer after cleaning.
P0038
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.
P0041
23
P0225
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.
P0011
P0132
Pull out the filter.
Clean the filter under a running tap, then refit it,
screwing it fully in.
P0133
P0040
5. Emergency emptying out
6. The dangers of freezing
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.
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.

The drainage system pipes are blocked.
Too much detergent or unsuitable detergent has been used (creates too
much foam).
Check whether there are any leaks from one of 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.
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 temperature to suit the wash programme has not been
selected.
Too much laundry has been placed in the drum.
The internal packing has not been removed.
The machine is in contact with the wall or furniture.
The machine is not level.

Symptom
Possible causes
The door will not open
■
■
■
The programme is still running.
The door lock has not yet released (door pilot light on).
The water level in the drum is too high or the machine is heating.
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin
■
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the
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
eventually at a lower speed, if the wash load is not perfectly distributed
in the drum. 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 reselect 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.
The machine will not dry or the
laundry is not dry enough
■
The water tap is closed. (E00)
The drain filter is clogged. (E10)
The correct drying programme or time has not been selected.
There is too much laundry in the appliance.
The laundry has not been spun enough before drying.

when the machine is emptying.
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.
Directly into a drain pipe at a height of not less than
60 cm and not more than 90 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.
