Zanussi FCS 825 C [12/40] Using the appliance

- 12 -

Using the appliance

Have you removed all the transit locking devices?

The very first time the machine is used, you should

run a wash programme without any load, to clear any

residues which may have been left by the manufac-

turing process. Pour approx. 100 ml of detergent

straight into the drum and run a programme at 60°C.

When the programme is finished, the machine will be

ready for use.

Starting a wash programme

Before starting up the machine, check that:

● the door is properly closed

● the appliance is plugged in

● the water supply tap is turned on

To start the machine, proceed as follows:

1. Pull the door latch gently to open the door.

2. Fill the drum evenly with the laundry. Large and

small items can be mixed.

Always try to wash full loads: for maximum load

weights see the programme charts. You should

only reduce the load weight for heavily soiled items

and sensitive materials.

3. Close the door.

4. Pull out the dispenser drawer.

5. Measure out the amount of detergent required and

pour it into the larger compartment on the left (fig 1).

6. Pour fabric softener into the smaller compartment

on the right without exceeding the max. level (fig. 2).

7. Close the drawer.

8. Select the required programme (fig. 3).

9. Turn the spin speed selector to the required

position (fig. 4).

10. Select the required option. The corresponding

light illuminates (fig. 5).

11. Before you start the programme, if you wish the

starting to be delayed, press the Delay start button

to select the desired delay. The relevant light

illuminates (fig. 5).

12. Press the Start/Pause button to start the required

wash programme. The indicator lights ”Washing”

and ”Locked” comes on and the programme starts.
