Despite the versatility of modern washing machines, they are simple and straightforward to operate. To understand the innovative technique, it is enough to read the instructions and follow them exactly. In order for the equipment to work for a long time and properly, certain rules must be followed.
How to choose a program?
If you are thinking about washing and preparing things, you need to choose the appropriate program. This is done on the control panel. Experts from Zanussi have developed a variety of modes for different types of fabrics. Also, users have the ability to turn off the spin or select an additional rinse. For delicate items, natural cleaning is more suitable, without the use of a centrifuge and heating devices.
Basic modes in Zanussi washing machines.

How to check the connection?
Before starting the washing machine, be sure to check its connection to the sewer. The work is carried out as follows.
- The waste water hose must be raised to a height of approximately 80 centimeters.This prevents the possibility of spontaneous draining. If the hose is higher or lower, problems may arise when starting the spin.
- Typically, the hose has a maximum length of 4 meters. Check that it is intact, without creases or other defects.
- Check that the tube is securely attached to the drain.
According to the instructions, compliance with such simple rules will significantly prolong the operation of the equipment. It will also prevent malfunctions and various failures during operation.
How to add detergent?
Standard washing machines have 3 sections for household chemicals:
- compartment used for the main wash;
- department for the collection of substances when soaking;
- compartment for the air conditioner.
In the manufacture of Zanussi equipment, manufacturers used special signs to make operation even easier.
The detergent container looks like this:
- compartment on the left - powder is poured here or gel is poured, which will be used during the main wash;
- middle (central or intermediate) compartment - for substances during prewash;
- compartment on the right - a separate compartment for the air conditioner.
Use only chemicals that are designed for automatic washing machines. You also need to observe the dosage of the substances. The packaging indicates how much powder or gel is needed to wash a certain amount of items.
Some users believe that the more product is poured into the container, the more effective cleaning will be. This opinion is wrong. Excessive amounts will lead to the fact that the chemical composition remains in the fibers of the fabrics even after intensive rinsing.
How to load laundry?
The first and foremost rule is not to overload the drum. Each model has a maximum load indicator that cannot be exceeded. Remember that when wet, the laundry becomes heavier, which puts additional stress on it.
Sort items by color and material. Natural fabrics should be washed separately from synthetics. It is also recommended to separate clothes that are shedding. Items decorated with a large number of decorative elements must be turned inside out so that they do not damage the drum during washing and spinning.
Straighten the laundry before loading it into the drum. Many people send things lumpy, which affects the quality of cleaning and rinsing.
After loading, close the hatch and check the lock. Make sure it is securely closed.
How to start washing correctly?
To turn on the Zanussi washing machine, just plug it in and press the power button on the panel. Next, you need to use a special switch to select the desired program or select a mode using the buttons. The next step is to open the hatch and load the laundry following the above recommendations. After the special compartment is filled with detergent, you can use the equipment.
When choosing a program and washing powder or gel, consider the following factors:
- the color of the clothes;
- texture and nature of the material;
- pollution intensity;
- total weight of the laundry.
Key recommendations

- Do not use home appliances during thunderstorms or high voltage surges.
- Hand wash powder can damage the equipment.
- Check that there are no foreign objects in the pockets of your clothes that could get into the washing machine.
- In many programs, the required temperature regime and the number of revolutions during spinning have already been selected, so there is no need to specify these parameters yourself.
- If you notice that the quality of the wash has deteriorated or strange sounds appear during operation, diagnose the equipment as soon as possible. You can also call a specialist who will perform the work at a professional level.
