Marking
When creating products, each manufacturer has its own labeling, which allows the consumer to know the most important things about technology. Letters and numbers are not simple symbols, but special blocks that contain basic information.
Even if you have forgotten a specific model specification, but you know the marking, it will be easier for you to use the device.
At Zanussi, the marking is deciphered by blocks, which is typical of washing machines in general.... The first block consists of three or four letters. The first one is Z, indicating the manufacturer. This should be taken into account due to the fact that the Italian company belongs to Electrolux, which also produces household appliances. The second letter W classifies the unit as a washing machine. The third reflects the type of loading - frontal, vertical or built-in. The next letter indicates the amount of laundry O, E, G and H to be loaded from 4 to 7 kg.
The second block consists of numbers only, the first of which indicates the series of the product. The higher it is, the more technologically advanced the unit. The second two-digit figure must be multiplied by 100 and you will find out the maximum number of revolutions. The third reflects the type of design of the structure. The last block in letters expresses the design of the case and door, including their color. And there is also a different marking for compact models with the letters F and C.
How to use it correctly?
Proper use of your washing machine begins with proper installation. Installation must be carried out in accordance with all standards and requirements that are specified in the technical documentation. It is advisable to make the position of the technique even with the help of the legs. As for the connection to the water supply system, it is better to carry it out directly into the sewer under the sink so that the drain is instant.
The location of the machine is also important as there should be no dangerous objects nearby, for example, heaters and other equipment, inside which a high temperature is possible. It is worth mentioning the connection system, the key element of which is the power cord. If it is damaged, bent or crushed, then the supply of electricity may have certain malfunctions that negatively affect the operation of the product, in particular, electronics.
Before each turn on, check the design, all the most important elements of the machine. If the equipment began to work with errors, some malfunctions occur or something similar, then it is better to give the product to a specialist for repair.
The sooner the problem is prevented, the longer the machine will be able to serve you, because some breakdowns can cause more serious problems.
