[. . . ] 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. Any plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent person. [. . . ] Use the correct quantities of detergent. For wool, use gentle detergent only in small quantities. 13 As the Jetsystem is flexible and adjusts water intake according to wash load size it is not possible to give you exact recommandations as to the amount of detergent that should be used for any one wash. 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. 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. 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. TRADITIONAL POWDERS Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in 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. TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start 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. 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. Once the dispenser has been filled, close it by pushing it in gently. This is particularly important if you are using Washing programmes Type of laundry and symbols on labels 60 95 Load Programme/ temperature Cottons 60°-90°C Description of programme Main wash at 60°-90°C 3 rinses Long spin Consumption* Available options Energy kWh 1. 8 Water litres 45 (52 for Z300SPX and 12) Time h/min. sheets, tablecloths, household linen 60 40 30 SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD PREWASH SUPER RINSE QUICK SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD PREWASH SUPER RINSE QUICK 5 kg Coloured cotton: e. g. shirts, blouses, underwear, towels, household linen 60 50 40 Main wash at Cottons 60°-40°-30°C 60°-40°-30°C 3 rinses Long spin 0. 95 42 (49 for Z300SPX and IZ12) 2. 10 30 2. 5 kg Synthetic fabrics and blends: e. g. shirts, blouses, underwear 40 Synthetics 60°-50°-40°30°C Main wash at 60°-50°-40°30°C 3 rinses Short spin Main wash at 40°-30°C 3 rinses Short spin SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD PREWASH SUPER RINSE QUICK SPIN SPEED (only Z300SPX and 12) RINSE HOLD PREWASH SUPER RINSE QUICK 0. 9 56 1. 27 30 2. 5 kg Delicate fabrics: e. g. acrylic fabrics, viscose, polyester, synthetic blends 40 30 Delicates 40°-30°C 0. 7 53 1. 04 2 kg Wool Wool 40°-30°C Main wash at 40°-30°C 3 rinses Short spin Main wash at 40°-30°C 3 rinses Short spin SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD 0. 3 48 57 2 kg Hand wash 40°-30°C SPIN SPEED RINSE HOLD 0. 25 46 55 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. The machine is capable of washing up to 6 kg, however, to achieve optimum wash results it is recommended that the above wash loads are adhered to. 16 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 machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. [. . . ] 30 cm. (12") 26 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). 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. If you require any further advice please contact your local water authority. P1051 Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner. [. . . ]
