INSTALLATION
Remove all packaging before positioning the Installing and Securing the Machine Under
machine. a Kitchen Unit (Sink-Worktop Unit)
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.
Leveiiing
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and
seal of the door.
Loosen or tighten the adjustable support feet, until
the machine is perfectly level.
Adjusting the Worktop
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 of 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 bent or squashed.
Caution
Once the machine has been installed, ensure that it
can be accessed easily for servicing.
You can move the worktop forward or backward by
25 mm in order to align the machine with the other
kitchen units.
Simply unscrew the two front retaining screws, move
the top to the required position and then retighten the
screws.

Fitting a Decor Panel on the Door
The door of this machine has frames for fitting plastic
laminate decor panel in the colour required to match
the dishwasher with the rest of the kitchen furniture. If
you want to do this you must provide this panel your¬
self.
Width; 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 Supply Connections
This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water
supply and it is preferable for it to be permanently
plumbed in.
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.
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, you
can work out the pressure yourself 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 left or the right. In either case, be sure to incor¬
porate the strainer A supplied with the machine onto
the joint. See picture.
Caution: the retaining ring must be correctly fitted to
avoid water leaks.
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.
6

Water Outlet Connection Note: The sink plug must not be in place when the
machine is draining as this could cause the water to
The end of the drain hose can be connected as siphon back into the machine,
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 Electrical Connections

USING YOUR MACHINE
The Water Softener
Water contains varying amounts of lime and mineral
salts depending on the area in which you live; these
are deposited on the dishes leaving white marks.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your
water will be. The «hardness» level is measured on 3
equivalent scales; French Degrees, Parts per Million
(PPM) or Clarke Degrees.
Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact
water hardness level for your area.
The dishwasher is equipped with a softener which
uses special dishwasher salt to provide lime-free
(softened) water. The softener can treat water hard¬
ness up to 90 french degrees via 5 adjustment levels.
Find on the table below the level corresponding to the
hardness of your water and the required adjustments;

The water softener is factory set level 2 as this suits
most users.
If your water is «level 1» it is already soft and there¬
fore there is no need to use salt. In this case do not
take into account the salt light (10).
Water softener adjustment (levels 3 and 5)
If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows:
— slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap of
the salt container:
— turn the two position selector from position — to
position + with the aid of a knife or a screwdriver.
Adjustment on the machine (levels 4 and 5)
If your water is level 4 or 5, open the door and drill
membrane A on the upper left-hand corner of the
machine.
Important
Salt MUST be used regularly from level 2 upward.
11

Filling with Salt
Only use salt designed specifically for use in
dishwashers. Other types of salt contain high percen¬
tages of other substances which may reduce the effi¬
ciency of the softener.
— Unscrew the cap of the salt container.
— Fill the container with water.
— Place approximately 1.5 kg of dishwasher salt
inside using the funnel provided (see figure).
— Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.
— Screw the cap on tightly.
When this has been done, all you have to do is to
periodically add salt to the container. You are
reminded of this by the Salt Refill Light (10) on the
control panel which illuminates when the salt has
finished.
Caution
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the
complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and
Hold programme). This will prevent any grains of salt
or salty water, which may have been spilled,
remaining on the bottom of the machine for any
period of time. This could cause corrosion.
Rinse Aid
This liquid gives the dishes a shiny finish and
improves drying. It is automatically added during the
hot rinse. The dispenser, which is positioned inside
the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is
sufficient for 16-40 dishwashing programmes,
depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with Rinse Aid
— Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlock¬
wise.
— Add rinse aid until the indicator (B) goes
completely dark when the container is full.
— Add rinse aid again when the indicator (B)
becomes clear.
Remember to CLOSE the lid after every refill.
Caution
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an
absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the
next wash.
Adjusting the Dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained,
adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 posi¬
tion selector (C) (position 1 - minimum dose, position
6 - maximum dose). Gradually increase the dose if
there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes
after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish
streaks on the dishes.
12

Loading your Machine
Before placing the dishes in the machine, remove the
large scraps of food from the plates (small bones,
toothpicks, fish bones, scraps of meat and
vegetables, fruit skins etc.) to avoid clogging the
filters and consequently reducing the performance.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the
dishes.
Use of the Lower Basket
• The lower basket is designed to take saucepans,
lids, plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), salad bowls,
cutlery etc.
• Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged
around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the
upper spray arm can turn freely.
• Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery
basket with the handles facing downwards. If the
handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,
obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery
with the handles facing upward.
• Place tea spoons, and other small cutlery on the
special cutlery-rack on both sides of the cutlery
basket, see picture.
• Mix spoons with the other cutlery to prevent them
sticking together.
Note:
Some models are not provided with a handle for the
cutlery basket.
13

Use of the Upper Basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert
plates, saucers, dinner plates up to 24.6 cm in
diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses; these
should be arranged as shown in the pictures.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside-down
in the raised cup-racks.
Caution
When loading the dishes, ensure that you do not
cover the water inlet funnel in the middle of the upper
basket.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray
arms can rotate freely.
Adjusting the Height of the Upper Basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to
31 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower
basket after moving the upper basket to the higher
position as follows:
• Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper
basket outward and slide the basket out.
• Refit the basket in the higher position and replace
the stops (A) in the original position.
• When the top basket is in the higher position it will
only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you
will not be able to use the raised cup racks.
Reversible Spray Arm
If a small load of heavily soiled Crockery is to be
washed, this can be placed only into the bottom
basket. At the same time the upper spray arm posi¬
tion should be reversed as per following figure.
To do so, unhook the upper spray arm from the
central support A by pressing the clip C and refit it in
a reverse position (holes on the bottom). In this way
the wash efficiency is improved, as the bottom basket
is sprayed by both arms.
When the wash is completed, do remember to reset
the upper arm to the original position (holes on top).
14

Helpful Hints
This dishwasher offers a wide range of washing
programmes depending on how soiled your dishes
are and the type of crockery to be washed.
Refer to the programme chart on the following pages
to select the most suitable programme.
For Best Washing Results:
• Before loading, remove all the scraps of food and
soak very heavily soiled pots and pans.
• Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc.
upside-down.
• Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that
the water drains off easily.
• Long items of cutlery such as ladles, carving
knives etc. should be positioned horizontally in the
upper basket.
• Avoid contact between the dishes as far as
possible; correct arrangement of the items will give
better washing results.
• Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in
the upper basket and arranged so that they do not
move during washing.
To Save Energy
• Do not prewash the dishes under running water.
• Place the dishes in the machine immediately after
every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full
before washing.
• If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme
(see Programme Chart on the following pages), so
that any food scraps do not become caked on the
dishes while you are waiting to run the complete
wash programme.
• Select an ECONOMIC programme when the
baskets are not very full and/or when the dishes
are not very soiled following the instructions given
in the Programme Chart (ECONOMY programmes,
QUICK programme).
• Select economy drying (Economy Drying Push¬
button). Drying will obviously be less effective in
this case.
• You will improve drying results by leaving the
dishwasher door open for at least 15-30 minutes
as soon as the programme finishes.
• Care must be taken when opening the door, as
steam will escape.
Items not Suitable for Dishwasher
The following should not be washed in the
dishwasher:
• Cutlery or dishes with wooden or horn handles or
glued parts.
• Handmade items, wooden objects, antiques or
hand-painted china.
• Certain types of decoration can discolour when
washed in a dishwasher.
• Crystal ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed
dishwasher-proof, should be washed by hand. You
are advised to place them in the upper basket and
to select a delicate programme.
• Certain types of glass can also become opaque
after being washed several times in a dishwasher.
• Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel
cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from
the others.
• Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain the
other items.
• Aluminium tends to go black; copper, pewter and
brass tend to stain.
Caution: You are advised not to load very small
items which can faii through the baskets.
Note: When buying new dishes, ensure that they are
dishwasher-proof.
15

Use of Detergent
Before beginning any of the dishwashing pro¬
grammes, except for the rinse and hold programme,
load the detergent in the dispenser.
Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specif¬
ically designed for domestic dishwashers.
Unsuitable detergents (such as those for washing by
hand) do not contain the right ingredients for machine
washing and hamper correct functioning of the
machine.
To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). This will
open it.
At the end of any washing programme the lid is
always open, ready for the next wash.
The amount of the detergent to be used varies
depending on how soiled the dishes are and the type
of dishes being washed. We recommend the
amounts shown in the programme chart.
After filling the dispenser with detergent, close the
lid.
Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent
will produce poor washing results whereas an exces¬
sive amount of detergent does not improve washing
results and is also wasteful.
Using no more than the correct amount of detergent
also contributes to reducing pollution.
Zanussi recommends the use of Finish dishwasher
detergent.
Since not ail the detergents are the same, you should
also consult the instructions on the packet.

Washing Example
Washing a mixed load of saucepans and dishes
using the «Energetic with prewash» programme.
Below is an example of how to set and start a
washing programme, listing in order everything to be
remembered daily.
1) Check that the filters are clean (see next page for
cleaning instructions)
2) Check that there is salt and rinse aid.
3) Load the dishes
— Remove the larger scraps of food.
— Pull the lower basket out and arrange the sauce¬
pans, plates and cutlery in it.
— Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates,
saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.
— Slide the baskets back into the machine.
— Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
4) Measure out detergent
— Pour two dessertspoonfuls (25 g) of detergent into
the dispenser and close the lid.
— Close the dishwasher door.
5) Set the programme
Push the Programme Selector Dial in to make it pop
out. Then turn it clockwise until the letter «A» of the
‘‘Energetic with Prewash» programme corresponds
with the Red Marker (9) on the control panel.
6) S tart the programme up
Depress ON/OFF pushbutton (2). The pilot light (7)
will come on and the machine will start.
If you wish to interrupt the wash at any time press
button (2) again.
To restart the machine, depress the same button
again and the programme will continue from the point
where it was interrupted.
7) A t the end of the washing programme the Black
Marker on the Programme Selector Dial will corre¬
spond with the Red Marker (9).
The machine will stop and the pilot light (7) remains
on until ON/OFF button (2) is depressed.
— Turn off the water tap.
— Open the door and wait a few minutes before
removing the dishes; in this way you will avoid
burning your fingers and the drying will be
improved.
— Empty the lower basket first and then the upper
one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper
basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
Caution
In general it is not advisable to open the door while
the machine is working; if the door is opened
however, a safety device ensures that the machine
stops.
If you have to open the door while the machine is
working, always switch off the appliance first by
pressing the ON/OFF button (2).
Care must be taken if opening the door, as steam

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
1. After Each Wash
Cleaning the central filter
Inspect the central filters B and C and remove any
scraps of food with a brush under running water.
The filters B and C are both removed by lifting up the
outer one B (pulling the central funnel upwards); the
smaller filter C can then be removed by pressing the
two tongues D.
Once cleaned, refit the filters by pressing them down
until they click into place.
2. Once a Month
Cleaning the large filter
Clean the large filter A on both sides under running
water using a brush.
To take it out, remove the spray arm by pressing the
two tongues E, turn the ring F anti-clockwise
(towards the left) and then slide the whole part out.
Refit the filter following the above instructions in
reverse order.
Caution: the dishwasher must not be used without
the filters.
Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce poor
washing results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct opera¬
tion of the machine.
19

internal and External Cleaning
• You must ensure that the seals around the door,
the detergent and rinse aid dispenser are cleaned
regularly with a damp cloth.
• We recommend the use of Finish Dishwasher
Cleaner every 3 months, or run a wash programme
without dishes using detergent.
• Check that the spray arm nozzles are not ob¬
structed.
To remove the bottom spray arm release it from its
securing catches and pull it out. To clean the
nozzles of the top spray arm, slide out the top
basket whereby the spray arm will become acces¬
sible. To remove it, unhook it from the central
support.
• Clean the external surfaces of the machine and
control panel with a soft damp cloth. If necessary
use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive
products, scouring pads or solvents (acetone,
trichloroethylene etc...).
The Dangers of Freezing
If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C
the water left in the pipes can freeze. You should
ensure that the room temperature is above 0°C
