Drying Hints - Zanussi ZWT 71401 WA Manual De Instrucciones

Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, methylated spirits
or benzine, then rub with detergent paste.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the choice of deter-
gent and use of the correct quantities to avoid waste and
protect the environment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain substances
which, in large quantities, can upset the delicate balance
of nature.
The choice of detergent will depend on the type of fabric
(delicates, woollens, cottons, etc.), the colour, washing
temperature and degree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine detergents may
be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (60°C max) and
woollens
• liquid detergents, preferably for low temperature wash
programmes (60°C max) for all types of fabric, or spe-
cial for woollens only.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the ap-
propriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before
starting the wash programme.
If using liquid detergents, a programme without prewash
must be selected.
Your appliance incorporates a recirculation system which
allows an optimal use of the concentrated detergent.

Drying Hints

Preparing the drying cycle
As a dryer, the appliance works on the condensation prin-
ciple.
Therefore, the water tap must be open and the drain hose
must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even
during the drying cycle.
Attention!
Before starting the drying programme, reduce the loads of
washed laundry, in order to obtain good performances.
Laundry not suitable for drying
• Particularly delicate items such as synthetic curtains,
woollen and silk, garments with metal inserts, nylon
stockings, bulky garments such as anoraks, bed cov-
ers, quilts, sleeping bags and duvets must not be ma-
chine dried.
• Avoid drying dark clothes with light coloured fluffy
items such as towels as these can attract the fluff.

Follow the product manufacturer's recommendations on
quantities to use and do not exceed the «MAX» mark in
the detergent dispenser drawer.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called "degrees" of
hardness. Information on hardness of the water in your
area can be obtained from the relevant water supply com-
pany, or from your local authority.
A water softener must be added when water has a
medium-high degree of hardness (from degree of
hardness II). Follow the manufacturer's instructions. The
quantity of detergent can then always be adjusted to de-
gree of hardness I (= soft).

• Remove the laundry when the appliance has finished
drying.
• To avoid a static charge when drying is completed, use
either a fabric softener when you are washing the laun-
dry or a fabric conditioner specifically for tumble dry-
ers.
• Garments padded with foam-rubber or materials simi-
lar to foam-rubber must not be machine dried; they
represent a fire hazard.
• Also, fabrics containing residue of setting lotions or
hair sprays, nail solvents or similar solutions must not
be machine dried in order to avoid the formation of
harmful vapours.
The detergent and any additives must be placed in the ap-
propriate compartments of the dispenser drawer before
starting the wash programme.
