detergents specially designed for dishwashers.

To ensure that your dishwasher functions perfectly,
Zanussi recommends using Calgonit System, a
unique and complete product, tested by millions of
householders.

aid, salt, machine detergent and Citro-Fresh.

It is able to fulfil the main requirements for cleaning both
the crockery and the machine itself.

The washing powder should be poured into the
compartment of the container.

When the lid of the container happens to be closed, in
order to open it simply push back the small catch which
holds it clamped down.

WARNINGS

It is most important that this instruction book
should be retained with the appliance for future
reference. Should the appliance be sold or trans­ferred to another owner, or should you move
house and leave the appliance, always ensure that
the book is left with the appliance in order that the
new owner can get to know the functioning of the
appliance and the relevant warnings.

These warnings are provided in the interest of
safety. You MUST read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.

■ If the appliance is supplied with obvious damage,

consult the supplier before installing it.

■ Any plumbing work required to install this appliance

should be carried out by a qualified plumber or
competent person.

■ Any electrical work required to install this appliance

should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.

■ This appliance is designed to be operated by adults.

■ Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance

does not stand on the electrical supply cable or on
the water inlet and drain hoses.

■ Under no circumstances should you attempt to

repair the machine yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
malfunctioning.

■ This appliance should be serviced only by an

authorised Zanussi Service Center.

■ Before disposing of the appliance, disconnect the

water hose, cut the electrical cable and ensure that
the door cannot close.

■ For proper disposal of the appliance, contact your

local waste collection service.

■ Zanussi dishwashers are designed to be used for

washing normal household utensils. Items that are
contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris,
corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not to be
washed in a dishwasher.

■ Under no circumstances should you open the door

whilst, the appliance is in operation. Always turn off
the appliance before opening the door.
However, the dishwasher features a special safety
device which cuts off the water inlet, should the door
be accidentally opened, thus avoiding water leaks.

■ Never touch the heating element during or

immediately after the end of the washing cycle.

■ When finishing loading or unloading close the door,

as an open door can be a hazard.

■ It is dangerous to lean or to sit on the dishwasher

door: the appliance could tip over.

■ Built-in dishwashers only: the appliance must be

INSTALLATION

Remove all packaging before positioning the
machine.

Positioning

If possible, position the machine next to a water tap
and a drain.

This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a
kitchen counter or sink (see “Building-in).

Water Outlet Connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected as
follows:

to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with
a clip;

to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum
internal diameter 4 cm;

The waste connection must be at a height of between
30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the
floor.

It makes no difference which way the drain hose
faces, either to the right or left of the dishwasher.

Avoid bending or kinking the hose as this could
prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer
than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no
smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used
for connection to the waste outlet must be no smaller
than the diameter of the drain hose.

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted
to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw
onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or to a
purpose-made quick-coupling tap such as the Press­Block.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in
the technical specifications, as it will not function
correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.

The water supply hose is
fitted with a safety device,
which prevents water from
entering the machine
should the inner hose split,

due to wear.

The problem is signalled by a red indicator which
appears in window (B).
If this happens, close the water tap and have the hose
replaced.

Warning: the retaining ring (A) must be properly fitted
so as to avoid water leaks.

Note: the end of the
hose connected to the
machine can be positioned
as required, by simply
slackening the retaining
ring.

Re-tighten the ring securely
to avoid water leaks.

Water Supply Connections

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max.
60°C) or cold water.

Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very
soiled crockery as it shortens the washing
programmes a lot.

Feeding the appliance with a hot water supply (max.
60°C) will allow you to obtain considerably shorter
programmes.

Avoid bends or kinks in the hose, which could prevent
or slow down the flow of water.

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes
which have not been used for a long time, you are
advised to run the water for a few minutes before
connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of
sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.

Electrical connection

Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket,
make sure that:

1. the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given
in the technical specifications;

2. the meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall
socket can all take the maximum load required.
Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible
without having to use any type of adapter. If necessary,
have the domestic wiring system socket
replaced.

Safety standards require the appliance to be
earthed.
The Manufacturer accepts no liability for failure to
observe the above safety precautions.

THE CONTROLS

In this fully integrated appliance the controls are locat­ed on top of the door. When selecting a programme,
the door needs to be partially opened.

Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate
which operations the dishwasher is performing.

Short «instruction accepted» signal

When any of the buttons is pressed: a short audible
signal informs you that the machine has accepted the
instruction given; if no signal is heard when a button is
pressed, this means that a programme is already run­ning or that the programme selected does not include
this function.

Long «programme run» signal

A continuous audible signal lasting about one second,
heard only when you close the dishwasher door,
informs you that the wash programme is starting.

5. Intensive programme light

8. Cancel / programme change button

This pilot light comes on when the most energetic pro­gramme is selected (no. 2 INTENSIVE) with hot pre­wash, suitable for pans and particularly dirty crockery,
to remind you that this programme requires an extra
dose of detergent (about 1 tablespoon) to be placed
in the WRD dispenser. Follow the dosing instructions
in the "Wash Programme" chart on the following
pages.

6. Economy Drying button

When this button is pressed, the last rinse water is
heated up to 55°C, with a significant saving in electri­cal energy. The corresponding pilot light comes on.

If the pilot light is not on the water of the last rinse
will always be heated up to 65°C.

7. Delayed Start button

Allows the start of the programme to be delayed by a
minimum of 1 hour, up to 9 hours.

How to set the delayed start

If you wish to cancel a programme which is already

this button for about two seconds until the short
«instruction accepted» signal is heard.

The number for the first selectable programme
(Rinse and Hold) reappears in the display whilst the
programme selector light (4) flashes, to indicate that
the dishwasher has been reset and that a new
programme and new options may be selected.

When the button is pressed, the number appears
in the display (3).

Press the button again to select the number of hours
by which you wish to delay the programme start, up to
a maximum of 9.

E.g.: if you have selected number , the wash pro­gramme will start in 2 hours time.

To cancel the delayed start set, press the button until
the number appears.

long audible signal (about one second) informs you that
the function is active.

If you open the door again you will see, in the display
(3), how long there is to go (in hours) before the
programme starts. A flashing dot in the digital display
means that the delayed start function has been activated.

Opening the door has no effect on a countdown which
has already been started.

If, during the countdown, you wish to see the pro­gramme number selected in the display, press the
Programme Selector button (4).

If, after having started the countdown by closing the
dishwasher door, you wish to cancel the delayed start,
press the Cancel button (8) for about 2 seconds
until the short «instruction accepted «signal is heard».
