Environmental information
Before installing and first using the dishwasher, read this instruction booklet carefully, including its
hints and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all
people using the dishwasher are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features.
Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the dishwasher if it is moved or sold, so
that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance use and safety.
Installation and servicing
● All installation and service work done on the product
must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work
performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may
adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the
product and may cause personal injury or damage.
Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it
must be isolated from the electrical supply. To do this
the power plug must be removed from the wall socket.
● Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible
stopcock.
● The power cable must be plugged into an earthed
socket, which must to be easily accessible. Permanent
installation must only be carried out by an authorized
electrician.
● If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by a special cable or assembly available from the
manufacturer or its service agent.
● Make sure that the power cable is not nipped or other-
wise damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed
or kinked when moving the dishwasher in connection
with installation or cleaning etc.
● Servicing and possible repairs must be carried out by
a service company authorized by the supplier. Use only
spare parts supplied by these. Never try to repair the
dishwasher yourself.
Child Safety

let children play with the controls or other parts of it.
● Remember that the plastic bags included in the

● Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing
on the open door.
During Use
● This dishwasher is designed solely for washing house-

other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage
to property and invalidate the guarantee.
● Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running,
as hot steam may escape.
● Only use detergent specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
● Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards.
It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket.
● If you take any dishes out of the dishwasher before the
end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important
to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove
any remaining detergent.
● The water safety system protects against water damages.
The following requirements must be fulfilled:
- The dishwasher must be electrically connected when
it is switched off.

Spray arm (1)
It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear.
A clogged hole can seriously affect washing efficiency.
If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut anticlockwise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm.
Clear the holes and shake out any food remnants.
Coarse filter/microfilter (2)
The purpose of the coarse filter is to catch large objects
such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure
that the filter is always clean. Turn the coarse filter anticlockwise. Lift it out and rinse it under running water
whenever necessary.
Fine filter (3)
It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or
clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency.
The fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when
you have removed the coarse filter.
Detergent dispenser (4)
Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch
towards the compartment. Consult the instructions on the
detergent packet, fill the compartment accordingly and
close the lid. Remember that the instructions usually refer
to full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent
tablets, it is sufficient to use just half a tablet. Pre-wash
detergent is poured into the smaller compartment to the
left when needed. This detergent is used during the prerinsing. Make sure that nothing prevents the lid from
opening.
Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers.
Rinse aid dispenser (5)
Use of rinse aid will result in cleaner and faster drying of
the load, since it helps water and residues to run off.
Too much rinse aid may result in streakiness, too little
may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 150 ml.
This is enough for approx. 60 wash cycles, depending
on the dosage setting. Adjust the dosage setting according
to the hardness of the water.
You can set the dosage between 1 - 6, the appliance is factory set to 1.
Begin at the lowest dosage setting and increase
if necessary by turning the setting arrow with e.g.
the handle of a spoon.
The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the
dispenser requires refilling.
1. Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid
catch towards the compartment and lift the lid.
2. Fill up with rinse aid; do not overfill.
3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive
foaming during the next wash programme.
4. Close the lid and press until it locks again.
Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid
detergent.
Zanussi recommends the use of Finish dishwasher detergent and Rinse Aid.
Water softener (6)
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard
water. The lime in hard water causes white deposits to
occur on dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher.
To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special
container where the hardness is removed.
Since the water softener uses dishwasher salt, you will
have to refill the salt container after a certain number of
dishwasher cycles.
It is extremely important, that the salt container
is filled up with the dishwasher salt before using
the dishwasher for the first time.
The indicator light on the control panel is lit when the
container requires refilling.
1. Unscrew the filler cap to the salt container anticlockwise.
2. Fill the salt container with water (only the first
time).
3. Fill the container with dishwasher salt, using the
funnel supplied.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage
around the filler opening.
5. Screw the filler cap back properly in place.
The water softener is now ready for the first load of dishes.
Always make sure that there is dishwasher salt in the
container, which holds about 1 litre.
How to adjust the water softener, see chapter ”Adjusting
the water softener”.
Only use special salt for dishwashing machines,
ordinary domestic salt, especially table salt, can
damage the water softener.

To prevent limescaling on the dishes and to the interior of the
dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water.
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener, where tapwater which is harder than 4 °d (german degree) is softened.
Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the
water hardness level for your area.
Contact your local Water Authority to find the
exact water hardness level for your area.
The water softener has 5 settings:
In both of the following settings the dishwasher must be switched off and all programmes completed.
See chapter ”Using the appliance” for information on how to complete the programme.

Consumption
figures:
2)
1) Different parts of the wash programme may not sound the same, because the wash action is more intensive
at some stages.
2) Consumption figures have been calculated for nominal conditions. The figures can vary depending on inlet
water temperature and how full the main and cutlery basket are.
3) Consumption figures and performance is according to the BIO programme cycle.
4) Prerinse is used if you want to wait until you have a full load. This cycle rinses the load and keeps it moist,
making the main wash easier later on. No detergent should be used.
All programmes begin with a drain.
Dishwashing detergent in tablet form is not suitable for use in the Quick and Glass programme cycles because
some tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes.
