Washing machine Zanussi operating instructions

The question of how to turn on a washing machine usually arises after purchasing and installing new equipment. Modern models produced under the brands Indesit, LG, Ardo, Zanussi, Bosch, Candy, Beko, Samsung, Ariston, Whirlpool, have a variety of dashboard configurations, and sometimes it’s not easy to understand them.

We will tell you how to turn on the washing machine correctly in our article.

If you want the unit to last for a long time, before starting the wash, read the instructions - there you will find all the operating features of a specific model of equipment. In our article we will talk about the general rules for turning on the washing machine.

Getting ready to turn on the machine

So, if your unit is already plugged in and your laundry is ready to be loaded, don't rush into loading it. Please ensure that the following rules are followed first.

1. Don't overload the drum, but don't put too few things in the machine either. There must be moderation in everything. The amount of laundry must correspond to the nominal capacity of the machine, otherwise the drum will quickly fail.
2. Wash white and dark fabrics separately. This, of course, will not affect the operation of the machine, but it will very much affect the laundry.
3. Don't wash silk and wool together; one will invariably be damaged (at best). You can only wash items made from the same type of fabric at the same time.

If you have followed everything, and now the laundry is already in the drum, you can move on.

Checking the connection of the Zanussi washing machine to the sewer

Before using your Zanussi washing machine, check that it has been correctly connected to the sewer system. The basic rules for connecting a device are usually indicated in the instructions. However, you should make sure of the following points:

1. The drain hose is raised by 70 - 80 centimeters. This prevents self-draining, excessive water consumption by the device and problems with switching to the rinse mode.
2. The hose is no more than 4 meters long and is not bent too much.
3. The drain pipe of the machine is securely attached to the drain of the sink or bathtub.

The instructions say that compliance with these positions is necessary for the safe, long and efficient operation of the Zanussi mechanism. If the basic rules for connecting the machine to sewerage, water supply or electricity are not followed, it will experience frequent malfunctions and breakdowns.

Add detergent

As a rule, in all washing machines the powder container contains three compartments: for the main wash process, soaking and conditioning. If you have a Zanussi car, there will be hints on the tray about which compartment is for what! But just in case, let's say:

• left compartment – ​​for the main detergent;
• intermediate average – for the preliminary process;
• right – compartment for air conditioning.

Please note that there should also be a measure in the amount of powder. Usually, the required amount of product is indicated on its packaging . In no case should you think that the more powder, the better things will be washed: this is a misconception ! Dry powder is already difficult to wash out, and if there is a lot of it, it will most likely remain on clothes and then cause skin irritation and allergic symptoms.

Mode selection

Before you turn on the machine, you need to know how to set it up - set the desired temperature, the number of spin revolutions, and more. The easiest way is to select the appropriate program and run it. If necessary, it is supplemented with various options.

The selection is made using a rotary selector, around which there are icons or inscriptions. After turning the switch, simply set it to the appropriate option, and then press the “Start” button.

By choosing the right washing conditions, you will not only extend the life of your clothes and linen. Thanks to special options, you can save time, water, electricity, and powder. Optimal operating conditions also help to slow down the wear of the device itself.

Stowing laundry correctly

As mentioned above, do not overload the drum and wash dark and colored items separately from light and white fabrics. Also try to wash faded items separately from everything else so that they do not spoil other clothes.

Attention! Try to place the laundry in the machine not in a lump, but distribute it evenly throughout the drum. Then the quality of washing, spinning and rinsing will be much higher.

After loading things, check that the hatch door is tightly closed, otherwise problems with the UBL may occur. Watch the location of bulky items, do not stuff them too tightly, otherwise the drum may not be able to cope with the load.

Activate the program

In order to select an operating mode, on some machines you need to turn the wheel and stop the pointer arrow opposite the required program. On other models they are activated by pressing the corresponding buttons:

• washing cotton fabrics;
• woolen products;
• synthetic fabrics;
• everyday washing;
• gentle regime;
• quick wash;
• baby wash.

As you can see, the program is selected based on the type of fabric, the characteristics of its washing (intensity, pace), and so on. Almost all existing cycles can be adjusted.

Control Panel

The small Zanussi 1000 washing machine is equipped with a smart control system. There are 9 wide and convenient buttons on the console:

• on/off;
• start/pause;
• reset/skip;
• delay;
• modes by fabric type;
• spin;
• temperature;
• additional rinse;
• additional functionality.

There is a lamp on the control panel indicating that the hatch is blocked. As soon as the washing process is completed and the door is unlocked, the lamp will go off.

Regulating water heating

It is important to consider that some fabrics do not tolerate too hot water. As a rule, the tags of items indicate the degrees at which the product should be washed. But if you are not in the know, there are general recommendations on this matter:

• How to turn on the oven in a Zanussi gas stove

1. At maximum temperature (90 degrees for a Zanussi machine), heavy fabrics such as towels and other bath accessories, as well as bed linen, should be washed. These items need intensive washing.
2. At an average temperature of 40 to 60 degrees, it is customary to wash synthetics. It washes well this way.
3. At low temperatures, they usually wash some light items, without difficult stains or serious dirt. If you just need to refresh something, choose a temperature of 35-40 degrees.

Attention! Zanussi washing machines have a temperature range of 35-90 degrees.

My assistant.

Advantages: Doesn’t jump during heavy loads, washes denim items well (there is a program for such things).

Disadvantages: There is no display; when the voltage is low, the machine does not start at all. There is no signal about the end of work.

Review: I have three children (one of whom is disabled) and the washing machine relieves me a lot. When my first child was born 10 years ago, I didn’t have a washing machine at all—I washed everything by hand. And if we take into account the fact that our child did not recognize ANY diapers, then constant washing took up all the time and mountains of diapers and onesies occupied all 8 ropes on our balcony. It was a real hell - eternal and incessant washing. 2 years later, before the birth of our second child, we finally bought an automatic machine, ... Read more

Set the drum rotation speed

This indicator determines the spin intensity of the machine. Of course, this feature is very useful. After all, after spinning, you take things out of the drum with a minimum amount of water on them. Clothes dry easily after spinning and weigh much less (so it is easier for the housewife to hang them out to dry).

However, it is worth keeping in mind that the more delicate the fabric, the less intense the spin should be, and accordingly, the drum rotation speed should be lower. If you are washing something very light and delicate, then it is better to wring out the item by hand.

How to start the washing process?

Yes, everyone knows that you need to press the ON button to directly turn on the unit and the START button to activate the wash. However, here there are additional points that are worth considering.

Zanussi washing machines are equipped with a delayed start function. That is, from the moment you load the laundry into the drum, you can set any time within 24 hours when the washing process starts. This is very convenient for busy people who can set a delayed start and easily forget about washing.

If you sleep soundly, it is better to do your laundry at night, because then you can save a lot. The difference between night and day tariffs for water consumption is quite significant.

This section discussed only some of the possible errors that occur when operating Zanussi washing machines. A wider list with a detailed description of the causes of problems and ways to deal with them is in the instructions supplied with the product.

When does the machine stop working?

Zanussi machines are equipped with a sound indicator for the end of the wash cycle. After the alarm sounds, 30 seconds must pass before the security system allows you to open the door.

After the laundry has left the machine and gone to dry, you can work on the drum. A lot of water usually accumulates under the cuff, and since the cuff is rubber, this environment is very favorable for the development of bacteria due to high humidity. After washing, the cuff should be moved aside and the headband underneath should be wiped with a dry cloth.

You cannot wipe the inside of the drum with a dry cloth, so after washing, leave the door open for a while . Then all the moisture will quickly evaporate, which will not lead to the development of mold.

Useful tips

Now we give general recommendations for operating the machine. Please pay special attention to these recommendations and follow them at all times.

1. On some machines, you don't need to manually set parameters like temperature and intensity; they are already included in the programs.
2. For washing, use only detergents for washing machines, and not for manual mechanical washing.
3. There are also gel products that are either placed in capsules in a drum or poured from a container into a dispenser tray. Their advantage over dry products is that they wash out well and do not remain on clothes.
4. The pre-wash mode is a kind of soaking of laundry with problem stains.
5. If the wash suddenly stops, don't panic. This often happens if either the cold water flow has stopped (the wash will automatically resume when the supply starts), or if the laundry has crumpled in the drum and slowed down its operation. In the second case, the machine will display an emergency code and you can open the door to reload the laundry. If you do everything correctly, the wash will resume.

Follow the rules and try to maintain the condition of your washing machine, then it will last you longer!

General recommendations for using a Zanussi machine

In addition to the rules specified in the instructions, there are informal recommendations for using the device. In general, among the main rules of conduct with Zanussi washing machines are the following:

• To prevent the mechanism from wearing out and to minimize the risk of breakage, try not to load the drum completely. At the same time, make sure that there is no overweight, which can also cause damage to the device.
• Do not set the temperature to high temperatures unnecessarily. This will reduce energy consumption. The optimal heating rate is 30 degrees.
• The most optimal Zanussi spin level is 600 – 800 rpm. Higher speeds have a negative impact on the bearings and seal.
• Take care of your glass. Wipe it dry after each wash, and then scale will not accumulate on it.
• Disconnect the device from the network after finishing work. This way you will protect the power supply from overheating and significantly extend its service life.
• Also, do not forget to “ventilate” the device. After turning off the device from the power supply, always open the powder container slightly for 15 - 20 minutes.
• Don't forget to clean your Zanussi machine. Once every few months, run a dry wash by pouring a special anti-scale agent into the dispenser. The operating temperature, according to the instructions, should be maximum.
