Zanussi Zwg 5120 P User Manual

							Before Loading The Laundry
Important! Make
sure that no metal
objects are left in the
laundry (e.g. hair
clips, safety pins,
pins). Button up pil-
lowcases, close zip
fasteners, hooks and
poppers. Tie any
belts or long tapes.
Remove any hooks
(e.g curtains).
• 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 sep-
arately the first time.
• Rub particularly soiled areas with a special
detergent or detergent paste.
• Treat curtains with special care.
• Wash the socks and the gloves inside the
bag or a net.
Remove stubborn stains before washing:
Blood: treat fresh stains with cold water. For
dried stains, soak overnight in water with a spe-
cial detergent then rub in the soap and water.
Oil based paint: moisten with benzine stain
remover, 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 dam-
aged 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 ace-
tone1), 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.
Ink: depending on the type of ink, moisten the
fabric first with acetone
1), then with acetic acid;
treat any residual marks on white fabrics with
bleach and then rinse thoroughly.
Tar stains: first treat with stain remover, me-
thylated spirits or benzine, then rub with deter-
gent paste.
Open the door by carefully pulling the
door handle outwards
Load the laundry

the drum, one item at
a time, shaking them
out as much as pos-
sible.

							Close the door gently
Warning! Make
sure that any
fabrics were not trap-
ped when closing the
door.
Detergents and additives
Good washing results also depend on the
choice of detergent and use of the correct
quantities to avoid waste and protect the envi-
ronment.
Although biodegradable, detergents contain
substances which, in large quantities, can up-
set 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 de-
gree of soiling.
All commonly available washing machine deter-
gents may be used in this appliance:
• powder detergents for all types of fabric,
• powder detergents for delicate fabrics (40°C
max) and woollens,
• liquid detergents, preferably for low tempera-
ture wash programmes (60°C max) for all
types of fabric, or special for woollens only.
Quantity of detergent to be used
The type and quantity of detergent will depend
on the type of fabric, load size, degree of soiling
and hardness of the water used.
For the quantity of detergent, refer always to
what is written on the product packing.
Use less detergent if:
• you are washing a small load,
• the laundry is lightly soiled,
• large amounts of foam form during washing.
Degrees of water hardness
Water hardness is classified in so-called “de-
grees” of hardness. Information on hardness of
the water in your area can be obtained from the
relevant water supply company, or from your lo-
cal authority.
If the water hardness degree is medium or high
we suggest you to add a water softener follow-
ing always the manufacturer’s instructions.
When the degree of hardness is soft, readjust
the quantity of the detergent.

tergent used for main

tives (fabric softener,
starch).
Warning! If you wish to carry out the

1) If you select the Super Quick option by pressing button 5, we recommend that you reduce the maximum
load as indicated. Full loading is possible however with somewhat reduced cleaning results.
2) With prewash programme put the detergent inside the drum within the laundry.
3) Standard programmes for the Energy Label consumption values
According to regulation 1061/2010, the “COTTON ECONOMY 60 °C” and “COTTON ECONOMY 40 °C”
are respectively the “standard 60 °C cotton programme” and the “standard 40 °C cotton programme”. They
are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumptions for washing
normally soiled cotton laundry.
The water temperature of the washing phase may differ from the temperature declared for the selected
programme.
