Zanussi ZWG7120K - Manual (Page 30)

– Underwired bras.
– Use a washing bag to wash small items.
• A very small load can cause balance prob-
lems with the spin phase. If this occurs, ad-
just 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 remove 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.
• Do not mix different types of detergents.
• To help the environment, do not use more
than the correct quantity of detergent.
• Obey the instructions that you find on the on
packaging of these products.
• Use the correct products for the type and
colour of the fabric, the programme tempera-
ture and the level of soil.
• If you use liquid detergents, do not set the
prewash phase.
• If your appliance has not the detergent dis-
penser with the flap device, add the liquid
detergents with a dosing ball.
Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a water
softener for washing machines. In areas where
the water hardness is soft it is not necessary to
use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your area, con-
tact your local water authority.
Obey the instructions that you find on the pack-
aging of the products.
Care and cleaning
External cleaning
Clean the appliance only with soap and warm
water. Fully dry all the surfaces.
Caution! Do not use alcohol, solvents or
chemical products.
Descaling
The water we use contains limescale. If it be-
comes necessary, use a water softener to re-
move limescales.
Use a special product made for washing ma-
chines. Obey the instructions that you find on
the packaging of the manufacturer.
Do this separately from the laundry wash.
Maintenance wash
With the low temperature programmes it is
possible that some detergent stays in the drum.
Make regularly a maintenance wash. To do this:
• Empty the laundry from the drum.
• Set the hottest cotton wash programme
• Use a correct quantity of powder detergent
with biological properties.
After each wash, keep the door open for a
while to prevent mould and to let unpleasant
smells go out.
Drum
Regularly examine the drum to prevent lime-
scale and rust particles.
Only use special products to remove rust parti-
cles from the drum.
To do this:
• Clean the drum with special product for
stainless steel.
• Start a short programme for cotton at the
maximum temperature with a small quantity
of detergent.
