After a request from Paul I can now present some pictures of the ZFL1023.

First up is the programme chart on the drawer...

Options

On the left is the spin slider.
Multi-fabric extents the cycle time on Woollens to allow a longer wash at high water level.
Quick wash is used in conjunction with Quick Wash programmes 'C' and 'K' to reduce wash time.
Prewash enables Soak programmes 'A' and 'H' to continue onto the main wash without pausing.

Left hand dial switches the machine on and selects the temperature. The right hand dial is fairly self explanatory!

Drum

The drum is of the older type but modified to add three holes to each drum paddle. The outer tub is enameled.

Wonderful Tom

I love this style of machine, so classy and techy looking. Boys Toys indeed.

While the newly married wives with 2 young children were decorating their wholesome wooden kitchens with rich shades of brown and almond this was how the other half lived.

Young couples fresh out of Uni in high flying jobs, tailored shoulder padded power suits, half of boots No.7 counter smeared on ones clock were streamlining their kitchens with MFI's block units of colour in corporate colours chose their modern grey machines to sit along side the fridge stocked with the new ready meals awaiting to be heated in the micro.

LOL

How its seemed to me :)

Very much the appliance of science for the performance demanding technos!

Cheers for posting the pics tom.

it truly is a great looking machine. I remember when they came out and thinking back then that they looked great.

An aunt and uncle of mine bought a matching pair in the mid 1980's - replacing a Hoover A3110 and Hotpoint liberator Dryer.

Though i was very sad for the old, i admired the new.

Their advertising was great too!

cheers

Yeah Darren ur so right, the new graphite tol model is on applianceonline.co.uk
ZWF16581 grapite, would also match hotpoint fridge/freeze, so don't need to buy hotpoint washer with balancing crap, if they still have the rpoblems.

if my Dyson broke i'd love to buy the ZWF16581graphite, but it doesn't matter now as the washr ,aybe going in basement away from kitchen and dishwasher will maybe arrive in its place. If the dishwasher does come it'll be a hotpoint, lol.

Thanks for pics, theyre gr8!

Only problems i see with Zanussi is that, the temperatures don't include 50oc which i use for towels and whites if they're not bad.
the spin is alright as i always use max spin on any program, usually cottons.

Early Jetsystem ... do miss them !

These probably were the last italian well built washers. Despite of Elu'x presence, at that time the Zanussi karma was still consistent

If I'm not mistaken, these early Jetsystems have the jet over the drum and a small sump with the heater under the tub.
Later models have the dishwasher-like flow-through heater and the jet is in the porthole

They were a total revolution in washing habits. European housewives felt guilty to run small loads : the washer "had" to be run with a nearly full drum. Delicate cycles were considered a waste "all that water for an half full drum !" Probably that's why euro washers are smaller than US sisters. When Jetsystem appeared, housewives wondered "where is the 1/2 load button?", then they noticed that these machines were self adaptive and able to wash few clothes with a small amount of water. So the frequent & small-load era began.

I'm amazed by the minimum iron boilwash, only german washers had it. In the REX badged equivalent model the max temp on M.I. is 60°C.

Did you have in the UK a non-jetsystem model where the central cursor (here for rpm selection) was the water level selector ? This machine was the sloshy-wash-forbidden-dream *LOL*

forgive me but, i dont think i would ever be able to figure out the cycle or program as you guys call it A B C D my head hurts LOL but very unique one could say and without doubt better than our american FL'ers anyday!

... and this is not the most complicated

simply the rotary dial has no place for whole words. So in the cottons "prewash plus wash" is (A), "wash only" is(B), "rinses" is "D" "spin" (G)...
There were same models badged Privileg or Zoppas that had also such words printed on the fascia.

Fancy there were more complicated 3 knob washers,i.e. vintage AEGs or Bosches. Those had the timer dial (prewash,wash,rinse,spin) with letters or numbers, a programme/fabric selection dial or keyboard and a temp dial (tap cold to boil). Just forget about a setting et voila, you had your darks boiled or your pullover shrinked into Barbie size

Even the user friendly Mieles (their full words and just-one-dial programme selection has been and is a battle-horse) have had their 3-knob age in the seventies

Definitely think the oddest machines were (are) those with icons ... thinking of some Candy or even the Aqualtis

For our sake Miele full word style / single dial to choose program/temp has inspired the majority of producers.

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Favorit, you are correct in saying the heater is under the tub in the sump. The recirculation pump must be working during the wash or only the water in the sump would be heated up. The Jet is over the drum and water flows through the holes in the paddles.

There was no such water level selector model in the UK, sadly. We had a few with a delay timer though which were exclusive to the state owned 'Electricity Boards' showrooms.

I have actually used the minimum iron boil wash and this machine actually boils the water. (I hope this is not a fault!)

Tom.

Have you any idea Tom

The piccy below is in my unidentified file at the moment - would love to know what it is.

Mystery model - EW1007

Hi Paul, your mystery Electricity Board model is EW1007. There was an EW807 as well but this only had one option button. The manual is in the link below.
The third model was the early EW800 based on Washcraft stying. Fourth was the EWD1057 washer dryer based on the same styling as the EW1007.

Hi Mike, thanks for the comments and for the brochure page. Thanks for decoding my model number, I wonder if you could decode Z9191T for me? Just what was the T?

Tom

Hmm mine only had 8 ITCL programmes! Does that mean the Z9292T was a 1200rpm machine?! Who knows!

Favorit,
Thanks for the scans, they are most interesting. The Castor model styling seems to be based on the earlier series of machines. The appearance is quite striking to say the least!

My Zanussi employs the same Jetsystem as illustrated, only the drain and recirculation pumps have been reversed. This occured on later machines to stop limescale and soap desposits from blocking up the Jetsystem.

I love the water level slider on the third picture. They were never sold like this in the UK. I wish the panels on my machine were as grey as those, the ones on mine have yellowed slightly over the years.

Tom

Mystery model - EW 1007

My school had the Electricity Board model EW 1007. It lasted for over 20 years.

I have a second hand EW1007, it works but I have not been able to do a wash in it yet. The door seal is a bit mouldy, but it is mechanically smooth with no bearing rumble.

Here is the spin.
