Zanussi ZWS 5883 - Manual (Page 8)

If the door remains locked, this means that the
machine is already heating or that the water level
is too high. In any case, do not try to force the
door!
If you cannot open the door but you need to
open it you have to switch the machine off by
turning the selector dial to O . After a few minutes
the door can be opened (pay attention to the
water level and temperature!) .
After closing the door, it is necessary to select
the programme and options again and to press
button 6 .
At the end of the programme
The machine stops automatically. The pilot light
of button 6 and the pilot light corresponding to
the just finished washing phase go off. The light
7.3 illuminates.
If a programme or an option that ends with water
left in the tub has been selected, the light 7.3 il-
luminates but the door remains locked to indi-
cate that the water must be emptied out before
opening the door.
Follow the below instructions to empty out the
water:
1. Turn the programme selector dial to O .
2. Select the draining or spinning programme.
3. Reduce the spin speed if needed, by pressing
the relevant button.
4. Press button 6 .
At the end of the programme, the door can be
now opened. Turn the programme selector dial
to O to switch the machine off.
Remove the laundry from the drum and carefully
check that the drum is empty. If you do not in-
tend to carry out another wash, close the water
tap. Leave the door open to prevent the forma-
tion of mildew and unpleasant smells.
Helpful hints and tips
Sorting out the laundry
Follow the wash code symbols on each garment
label and the manufacturer’s washing instruc-
tions. Sort the laundry as follows: whites, colour-
eds, synthetics, delicates, woollens.
Before loading the laundry
Never wash whites and coloureds together.
Whites may lose their «whiteness» in the wash.
New coloured items may run in the first wash;
they should therefore be washed separately the
first time.
Button up pillowcases, close zip fasteners, hooks
and poppers. Tie any belts or long tapes.
Remove persistent stains before washing.
Rub particularly soiled areas with a special deter-
gent or detergent paste.
Treat curtains with special care. Remove hooks or
tie them up in a bag or net.
Removing stains
Stubborn stains may not be removed by just wa-
ter and detergent. It is therefore advisable to
treat them prior to washing.
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For dried
stains, soak overnight in water with a special de-
tergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain re-
mover, lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab
the stain; treat several times.
Dried grease stains: moisten with turpentine, lay
the garment on a soft surface and dab the stain
with the fingertips and a cotton cloth.
Rust: oxalic acid dissolved in hot water or a rust
removing product used cold. Be careful with rust
stains which are not recent since the cellulose
structure will already have been damaged and the
fabric tends to hole.
Mould stains: treat with bleach, rinse well (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Grass: soap lightly and treat with bleach (whites
and fast coloureds only).
Ball point pen and glue: moisten with acetone
1) ,
lay the garment on a soft cloth and dab the stain.
Lipstick: moisten with acetone as above, then
treat stains with methylated spirits. Treat any re-
sidual marks with bleach.
Red wine: soak in water and detergent, rinse and
treat with acetic or citric acid, then rinse. Treat
any residual marks with bleach.
1) do not use acetone on artificial silk
