Zanussi Zkg 2125 User Manual

							ProblemPossible cause/Solution
Spinning starts late or the machine
does not spin:
The electronic unbalance detection device has cut in because the laundry is
not evenly distributed in the drum. The laundry is redistributed by reverse
rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the unbalance
disappears and normal spinning can resume. If, after 10 minutes, the laundry
is still not evenly distributed in the drum, the machine will not spin. In this
case, redistribute the load manually and select the spin programme.
• Redistribute the laundry.
The load is too small.
• Add more items, redistribute the load manually and then select the spinning
programme.
The machine does not dry or does
not dry properly:
The drying time has not been selected.
• Select the drying time.
The water tap is not turned on. 
• Open the water tap.
The drain filter is clogged. 
• Clean the drain filter.
The machine is overloaded.
• Reduce the laundry load.
The selected drying time or the drying programme was not suitable for the
laundry.
• Select the suitable drying time/programme for the laundry.
The machine makes an unusual
noise:
The machine is fitted with a type of motor which makes an unusual noise
compared with other traditional motors. This new motor ensures a softer start
and more even distribution of the laundry in the drum when spinning, as well
as increased stability of the machine.
No water is visible in the drum:Machines based on modern technology operate very economically using very
little water without affecting performance.
If you are unable to identify or solve the problem, contact
our service centre. Before telephoning, make a note of the
model, serial number and purchase date of your machine:
the Service Centre will require this information.

Installation
Unpacking
All transit bolts and packing must be removed before us-
ing the appliance.
You are advised to keep all transit devices so that they
can be refitted if the machine ever has to be transported
again.

							After removing all the
packaging, carefully lay
machine on its back to re-
move the polystyrene base
from the bottom.Remove the power supply
cable and the hoses from
the hose holders on the
rear of the appliance.
Unscrew the three bolts.Slide out the relevant plas-
tic spacers.
Open the porthole and re-
move the polystyrene
block fitted on the door
seal.Fill the smaller upper hole
and the two large ones
with the corresponding
plastic plug caps supplied
in the bag containing the
instruction booklet.
Positioning
Install the machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air
circulation around the machine is not impeded by carpets,
rugs etc. Check that the machine does not touch the wall
or other kitchen units. 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.
Any necessary adjustment can be made with a spanner.
Accurate levelling prevents vibration, noise and displace-
ment of the machine during operation. Never place card-
board, wood or similar materials under the machine to
compensate for any unevenness in the floor.
If necessary, check the
setting with a spirit level.
Water inlet
Warning!  This appliance must be connected to a
cold water supply
Caution!  Before connecting up the appliance to new
pipework or to pipework that has not been used for
some time, run off a reasonable amount of water to flush
out any debris that may have collected
Caution!  Do not use the hose from your previous
appliance to connect to water supply.
The inlet hose is screwed to the back of the appliance.
Connect the hose to a tap
with a 3/4” thread. Always
use the hose supplied with
the appliance.

							The other end of the inlet hose which connects to the
appliance can be turned as showed in the picture.
Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose
to the left or right depending on the position of your
water tap. Set the hose correctly by loosening the ring
nut. After positioning the inlet hose, be sure to tighten
the ring nut again to prevent leaks.
Caution!  The inlet hose must not be lengthened. If
it is too short and you do not wish to move the tap,
you will have to purchase a new, longer hose specially
designed for this type of use.
Warning!  Installation should comply with local
water authority and building regulations’
requirements.
The appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) is
required for safe operation of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water connection direct from
the rising mains, you may be able to operate the appliance
from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum vertical distance of 5.02 m
(16.5 ft) between the appliance’s inlet and the bottom of
the water storage tank.
Water drainage
This appliance is designed to be permanently plumbed
into your homes drainage system using one of the fol-
lowing methods.
1. Into a drainage standpipe.
Firstly form a hook in the end of the drain hose using
the “U” piece” supplied.
“U” piece supplied
Place the drain hose into your standpipe, which should
have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm thus
ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose
and standpipe.
When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top
of the standpipe is no more than 90 cm (35.4) and no
less than 60 cm (23.6) above floor level.
38 mm (1.5”)
standpipe
diamater
30 cm (12”)
The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4
metres. An additional drain hose and joining piece is
available from your local Service Force Centre. The
joining piece must have an internal diameter of 18 mm.
Min. 60 cm (23.6”)
Max. 90 cm (35.4”)
If your drain hose looks
like this (see beside) you
do not require the “U”
piece”. Just push the hose
firmly in to the standpipe.
2. Onto a sink outlet spigot.
Loop

							If the outlet spigot has not
been used before, remove
any blanking plug that
may be in place.Push the drain hose onto
the spigot and secure with
a clip, ensure a loop is
formed in the drain hose
(see above) to prevent
waste from the sink enter-
ing the appliance.
If you intend to drain the hose from the machine into a
sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hole
is not blocked. Use the plastic “U - Piece” supplied.
Special conditions
If the floor is carpeted or covered with crumbly or soft
material, insert a rigid support base under the feet to pre-
vent noise, vibration or displacement. The base should
protrude a few centimetres beyond the edges of the ap-
pliance.
Warning!  The appliance should NOT be placed on
deep pile carpeting.
Note!
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is
easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
In the interest of the environment
The appliance 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 dis-
charged directly into a river or stream and may cause
pollution.
If you require any further advice please contact your local
water authority.
