Maintenance Wash; Cleaning The Detergent Dispenser; Cleaning The Drain Filter - Zanussi ZWT 71401 WA User Manual

CAUTION! Do not use alcohol,
solvents or chemical products.
DESCALING
If the water hardness in your area is high or
moderate, we recommend that you use a water
descaling product for washing machines.
Regularly examine the drum to prevent limescale
and rust particles.
To remove rust particles use only special products
for washing machines. Do this separately from the
laundry wash.
Always obey the instructions that you
find on the packaging of the product.

MAINTENANCE WASH

With the low temperature programmes it is possible
that some detergent stays in the drum. Perform a
maintenance wash regularly. To do this:
• Remove all laundry from the drum.
• Select the cotton programme with the highest
temperature with a small quantity of detergent.

tap, to remove any

pins, coins and so on blocking the pump;
