The products

In order to obtain a good wash, it is necessary to use
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.

Calgonit System includes Calgonit detergent, rinse
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

secured to the underside of the worktop using the
brackets provided. Failure to do this could result in
an unstable appliance which may cause damage or
injury.

■ Unplug the appliance and turn off the water after

use.

INSTALLATION

Remove all packaging before positioning the
machine.

Positioning

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

The sides and the back of the dishwasher can rest
against the adjacent furniture or the wall.

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which
can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the
installation.

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and
sealing of the door.

If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten
the adjustable support feet, until the machine is
perfectly level.

Installing and Securing the Machine Under
a Kitchen Unit (Sink-Worktop Unit)

By removing the machine's worktop, you can install it
under a close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, if
the dimensions of the recess correspond to those
shown in the picture.

Then proceed as follows:

Remove the machine worktop by unscrewing the two
front retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out
the rear slots, lifting the worktop.

Insert the machine after adjusting the height and level­ling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the ma­chine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are
not kinked or squashed.

mm in order to align the machine with other kitchen
units.
Simply unscrew the two front retaining screws, move
the top to the required position and then retighten the

screws.

Caution

Once the machine has been installed, ensure that it
can be accessed easily for servicing.

Fitting a Decor Panel on the Door

The door of this machine has frames for fitting a
plastic laminate decor panel in the colour required to
match the dishwasher with the rest of the kitchen
furniture. If you wish to do this you must provide the
panel yourself.

Widht: 588 mm
Height: 586 mm
Max thickness: 4 mm

To Fit the Panel

Take the door frame off
after removing the retain­ing screws around the
edge.

Position the panel, refit
the frame and tighten the
retaining screws around

the edge.

Note:

The panel should be fitted before positioning the machine.

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;

hooked over the edge of the sink using the special
curved plastic guide provided.

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.

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.

CA06

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

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.

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.

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