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.

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 in large commercial machines because of their bulk, please check with the manufacturer of the item before washing in a domestic machine.

Wash Care Symbols Guide to use the Instruction Book The following symbols will be found in the text to guide you throughout the instructions: Safety instructions Hints and tips Environmental information 3 Your New Washing Machine Your new washing machine 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. The possibility of selecting the temperature and all the options offered by this washing machine gives you truly "customised" washing. 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 programme progress display shows the differents washing phases. The balance control device ensures that the washing machine remains stable when spinning. The ECO VALVE allows total use of detergent and reduces water consumption so saving energy.

Ecological hints To save water and energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints: 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 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. How do we help to protect the environment? We use recycled paper! 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 2 3 4 5 Detergent dispenser drawer Control panel Door opening handle Drain pump Adjustable feet 1 2 ZWF 1432 W On/Off Cottons Synthetics Delicates Wool 95°C 60°C 50°C 40°C 30°C 1200 900 700 500 Rinse Hold Prewash 40° AA Half Load Start/ Pause Prewash Wash Rinse Rinse Hold Spin Drain Filter End Skip AQUAC YCLE 6 kg Fabrics Temp.
