Safety information Step by step instructions Hints and tips 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
The dishwasher should be used by adults only. Do not
let children play with the controls or other parts of it.
Remember that the plastic bags included in the
packaging can be fatal playthings for small children.
Keep all detergents in safe place out of children´s
reach.
Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing
on the open door.
During Use
This dishwasher is designed solely for washing house-
hold utensils suitable for machine washing. Using it for 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.
- The dishwasher must be correctly installed.
- Always shut off the water supply whenever the dish­washer is left unattended for an extended period.
In the event of flooding or leakage, switch off the water
supply immediately by closing the stopcock and dis­connect the power supply by unplugging the power cable or removing the fuse. When removing the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the cable.
Conservation
- packaging:
All materials used in packaging this appliance are environ­mentally-friendly. The various plastics used are identified and can be recycled.
- old appliances:
At the end of the appliance's useful life, disconnect the electrical plug from the power supply, then cut the electrical cable at the point where it enters the appliance. Make quite sure that children will not be able to play with it.

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 strainer/microfilter (2)
The purpose of the coarse strainer is to catch large objects such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that the strainer is always clean. Turn the coarse strainer anti-clockwise. 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 strainer.
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.
