Installation
Positioning
Apart from the need to position your
dishwasher close to an existing water
supply and waste outlet — long runs of
new piperwork can be expensive — you
can put it almost anywhere you please;
either on its own, or incorporated into a
run of «standard» metric kitchen units. If
you choose the latter option, you will find
that the machine has a number of useful
features making it easier to blend in with
the units.
Firstly, the machine can be set hard
against walls and adjacent units — there is
no need to leave a gap all round, and the
dishwasher features fill and drain hoses
which can be turned to the right or left to
suit the installation (see fig. 1).
Secondly, the integral worktop may be
adjusted by up to 25 mm (1 inch), either
forwards or backwards, to align it with
any adjacent units’ worktops. To do this,
simply remove the screws from the
brackets beneath the worktop’s front lip
(see fig. 2), make the desired re-alignment,

and replace the screws to fix the worktop
in place (see fig. 3).
Alternatively, if you prefer to install the
machine beneath an existing worktop, the
machine’s integral worktop can be
removed merely by removing the front
securing screws as above, and releasing
the worktop from its rear catch. This
done, the dishwasher will fit into a recess
of the dimensions given in figure 3.
Important
Please ensure that when the appliance
is installed it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
Building-in instructions
Fitting «decor panels»
To give the dishwasher a completely
«built-in» look, both the door and lower
panel can be covered with sheets of plastic
laminate (you must provide these yourself)
to match the doors of adjacent units.
To fit these «decor panels», start by
loosening the bottom panel’s retaining
screws (see fig. 4) and freeing it from its top
catch. Make sure these screws are not
removed completely. Next, remove the
metal trim screwed to both the door and
lower panel, fit the covering sheets of
plastic laminate, and clamp them in position
by replacing the metal trims. Finally, hook
the lower panel onto its top catch and
retighten the lower retaining screws.
Please note: The decor panels should be
fitted before building the appliance in.

Water supply connections
This Zanussi dishwasher may be
connected to either a hot or cold water
supply and for convenience, it is well
worth having it permanently «plumbed
in». Just make sure that the water
pressure is within the limits given in the
technical data and, in the case of a hot
water supply, that the temperature never
exceeds 70°C (158 °F).
Your local Water Authority will advise you
on the average mains pressure in your
area. Where the water is supplied via a
cold water storage cistern, or hot water
cylinder, you can work out the pressure
yourself in both cases by measuring the
vertical distance (or «head») between the
machine’s inlet hose, and the outlet from
the cold water storage cistern; allowing
roughly 1 psi for every 2 feet.
As to the making of 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 Press-Block. To make this easier, the
hose itself may be turned to the right or
left. In either case, be sure to incorporate
the strainer supplied with the machine
onto the joint (fig. 5).

Waste connections
Care must also be taken over the disposal
of the waste water from the machine. If
your dishwasher is not to be permanently
«plumbed in», merely hook the curved end
of the drain hose firmly over the edge of
the kitchen sink, having made sure that
the sink is empty, and that the waste
outlet is not blocked.
Otherwise, fit a P-trap and stand-pipe
assembly like that in figure 6 (ensure the
pipe has an internal diameter of at least
38 mm (17 ins), and hook the drain hose
into that). In this case ensure that there is
an air gap between the hose and the
inside of the pipe to prevent the risk of
dirty water being syphoned back into the
machine, and check that the top of the
stand-pipe is between 300 and 900 mm
above floor level. In addition, make sure
that the stand-pipe/trap assembly
discharges into the same soil system as
the kitchen sink.
300mm min
900mm max
With the machine in its permanent
position, do check that the drain hose is
not kinked, or squashed in such a way as
to obstruct the flow of water.
Do not extend the drain hose.
