Hints And Tips; Stubborn Stains - Zanussi ZWT 71401 WA User Manual

WASHING & TIMED DRYING
To have a good drying the appliance does not let
you set a too low spin speed for the items to be
washed and dried.
1. Press the button Tiempo/Tempo de sec. to set
the drying time value.
After some seconds the display shows the final
time value, that is the total duration of the washing
and drying cycles (washing + drying + anti-crease
+ cooling phases).
If you set only 10 minutes of drying
after washing, the appliance calculates
also the duration of the anti-crease
and the cooling phases.
2. Press Inicio/Pausa button to start the
programme.
The indicator Puerta/Porta comes on. The door is
locked. The display shows regularly a new time
value.
END OF THE PROGRAMME
The appliance stops automatically. The acoustic
signals operate (if they are active).
For more information see 'At the end of the drying
programme " of the previous chapter.

HINTS AND TIPS

THE LAUNDRY LOAD
• Divide the laundry in: white, coloured,
synthetics, delicates and wool.
• Obey the washing instructions that are on the
laundry care labels.
• Do not wash white and coloured items together.
• Some coloured items can discolour with the first
wash. We recommend that you wash them
separately for the first times.
• Button up pillowcases, close zippers, hooks and
poppers. Tie up belts.
• Empty the pockets and unfold the items.
• Turn multilayered fabrics, wool and items with
painted illustrations inside out.
• Remove hard stains.
• Wash heavy soil stains with a special detergent.
• Be careful with the curtains. Remove the hooks
or put the curtains in a washing bag or
pillowcase.
• Do not wash laundry without hems or with cuts.
Use a washing bag to wash small and/or
delicate items (e.g. underwired bras, belts,
tights, etc. ).
• A very small load can cause balance problems
with the spin phase. If this occurs, adjust
1. Turn the selector dial to the position
switch the machine off.
2. Remove the laundry from the appliance. Make
sure that the drum is empty.
3. Keep the door ajar, to prevent mildew and
odours.
4. Close the water tap.
FLUFF IN THE FABRICS
During the washing and/or drying phase, some
types of fabric, (sponge, sweatshirt) could release
fluff.
The released fluff could stick to the fabrics during
the next cycle.
This inconvenient increases with technical fabrics.
To prevent the fluff in your laundry, we recommend
that you:
• To do not wash dark fabrics after you washed
and dried light coloured fabrics (new sponge,
sweatshirt ) and the contrary.
• To dry this type of fabrics at open air when they
are washed the first time.
• To clean the drain filter.
• After the drying phase, clean the empty drum,
the gasket and the door with a wet cloth.
manually the items in the tub and start the spin
phase again.

STUBBORN STAINS

For some stains, water and detergent is not
sufficient.
We recommend that you pre-treat these stains
before you put the items in the appliance.
Special stain removers are available. Use the
special stain remover that is applicable to the type
of stain and fabric.
DETERGENTS AND ADDITIVES
• Only use detergents and additives specially
made for washing machines:
– powder detergents for all types of fabric,
– powder detergents for delicate fabrics (40
°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.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more than
the correct quantity of detergent.
