Care should be taken when moving it. It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way. All packing and transit bolts must be removed before use. Serious damage can occur to the product and to property if this is not adhered to. See relevant section in instructions. Any plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent person. Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. If the machine is situated on a carpeted floor, please adjust the feet in order to allow air to circulate freely. G G G 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. The users should always check that they have not left their gas lighters (disposable or otherwise) in their clothing. Never tumble dry items that have had contact with chemicals such as dry cleaning fluid.These are of a volatile nature and could cause an explosion. Only tumble dry items which have been washed in water or require airing. 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-through-to-dry you should use the conventional detergent dispenser drawer. 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/dried 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 Zanussi Service Force Centre. Always insist on genuine Zanussi spare parts.

Even small loads are washed "economically" because the amount of water used is regulated automatically according to the load and type of fabric. G Automatic cooling of the wash water to 60°C before draining, with the 95°C programme. This reduces thermal shock to fabrics, helping to prevent creasing. The special wool programme with its new delicate wash system treats your woollens with extreme care. The drying programmes will enable you to have dry and soft laundry in a short time. In the interest of the environment G Materials marked with the symbol recyclable. are G G 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. G G Ecological hints To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints: G G The machine works more economically if it is fully loaded (for both washing and drying cycles). 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. With adequate pre-treatment, stains and limited soiling can be removed; the laundry can then be washed at a lower temperature. Select a "quick" programme for lightly soiled laundry. The machine will consume less energy if the laundry is adequately spun before being dried. How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper! G G G G G 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". 4 Description of the Appliance 1 Detergent dispenser drawer 2 Programme guide 3 "Drying indicator" light EXCEL 1 34 5 67 8 PROGRAMMES 4 Drying time selector dial 5 "Option" buttons 6 ON/OFF button 7 "Mains-on" light 8 Programme selector dial 9 Door locked pilot light 10 Door opening handle 11 Filter 12 Adjustable feet TURBODRY 1200 HEAVY SOIL 650 rpm QUICK WASH RINSE HOLD PLUS ON-OFF B U I LT IN RINSE SENSOR INJECTION 2 9 10 11 12 Door locked pilot light The door stays locked throughout the wash cycle.

By depressing this button on programmes B, C, D and H the wash time is reduced. This is suitable only for garments which are lightly soiled. 3 Drying time selector dial Push the dial to pop it out. Graduated up to 120 mins for cottons and synthetics, this dial allows you to select the desired drying time according to the type and quantity of laundry and the required degree of dryness: - Blue sector for cottons - Green sector for synthetics Turn the dial clockwise only. 7 Rinse Hold Plus button Press this button to make the machine stop with water in the drum after the cotton, synthetic or delicate wash cycles. This prevents any creasing which may occur if the clothes are left damp in the drum. When it is convenient for you to empty the machine, simply press this button again so that the machine can proceed to drain and spin, or turn the dial to the drain programme "S". If this button is not activated, the washing programmes will end with a spin. Do not press this button for woollens: wool items should be gently spun. Important! The Rinse Hold option is not compatible with the automatic Washing & Drying programme. Cooling phase To allow the laundry to cool down, a cooling phase starts automatically 10 minutes before the end of drying and this phase must in no circumstances be reduced or interrupted. 4 Heavy soil button By pressing this button, the machine will take in cold water only on programmes with a water temperature of 50, 60 °C and 95 °C (programmes B-C-H). These would normally be hot and cold. The water is then gradually heated to the required temperature. The effect is to improve the overall wash performance, particularly on biological stains such as egg, blood and grass stains, and heavily soiled fabrics, since the longer «cool-soak» phase as the water heats up provides the right conditions for the powder and the water temperature to interact, and achieve the best possible results. 8 On/Off button By depressing this button the machine starts operating. When depressed again, the machine stops. The push button is provided with a child-proof safety lock. Move the small slider placed in the middle of the button downwards to lock the button in the «off» position. 9 Mains-on light This light illuminates when the machine starts working and goes out when the ON/OFF button is released. 5 Spin speed reduction button By depressing this button the spin speed will be reduced as follows: - cotton/linen: from 1200 to 650 rpm; - synthetics/mixed fabrics/delicates: from 650 to 450 rpm - wool: from 1000 to 650 rpm. 6 10 Programme selector dial Push the dial to pop it out. Turn the dial clockwise to select the required programme. Before setting the dial to any position the machine must be switched off by depressing the ON/OFF button again.
