WARNINGS
It is most important that this instruction book
should be retained with the appliance for future
reference. Should the appliance be sold or trans-
ferred 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 install-
ing or using the appliance.
= Unplug the appliance and turn off the water after
use.

lery and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution do
not wash together.
Under no circumstances should you open the door
whilst the appliance is in operation. Always turn off
the appliance before opening the door.
Care should be taken when cleaning the bottom
door seal and hinge area as any exposed metal
edges may cut if care is not taken.
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.
Under no circumstances should you attempt to re-
pair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons may cause injury or more
serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local Zanussi
Service Force Centre. Always insist on genuine
spare parts.

INSTALLATION
Remove all packaging before positioning the ma-
chine.
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.
Loosen or tighten the adjustable support feet, until the
machine is perfectly level.
Adjusting the Worktop
You can move the work-
top forward or backward
by 25 mm in order to align
the machine with other
kitchen units.
Simply unscrew the two
front retaining screws,
( move the top to the re-
son : quired position and then
retighten the screws.
Installing
and
Securing
the
Machine
Un-
der
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
of
the
rear
slots,
lifting
the
worktop.
Insert the machine after adjusting the height and level-
ling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the ma-
chine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are
not kinked or squashed.
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 plas-
tic laminate decor panel in the colour required to
match the dishwasher with the rest of the kitchen fur-
niture. If you wish to do this you must provide the
panel yourself.
Width: 588 mm
Height 586 mm
Max thickness: 4mm
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 re-
taining screws around the edge.
SS
Note
The panel should be fitted before positioning the ma-
chine.

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 cor-
rectly if pressure is outside these specifications.
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the aver-
age 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 verti-
cal distance (or «head») between the machine’s inlet
hose and the outlet from the cold water storage cis-
tern, allowing roughly 1 psi for every 2 feet.
For making the connec-
tion 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
fan Press-Block.
To make this easier, the hose itself may be turned to
the left or the right. In either case, be sure to incorpo-
rate the strainer (A) supplied with the machine into 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 pre-
vent or slow down the flow
of water.
If the machine is connect-
ed to new pipes or pipes
which have not been used
for along time, you are ad-
vised to run the water fora
few minutes before con-
necting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of
sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.
Water Outlet Connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected as fol-
lows:
to the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with
aclip;
to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum in-
ternal 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 pre-
vent 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.
+2mmax
Note: The sink plug must not be in place when the
machine is draining as this could cause the water to
siphon back into the machine.

The electrical connections

10. Salt Empty Indicator Light S
This light will come on when the salt container needs
refilling.
This light will remain on in a soft water area where salt
is not required.

The Water Softener
Water contains varying amounts of lime and mineral
salts depending on the area where 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 2
equivalent scales: French Degrees 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 (sof-
tened) water. The softener can treat water hardness
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:
Water hardness

22-28 | 40-50 3 YES YES NO
29-39 | 51-70 4 YES NO YES
40-50 | 71-90 5 YES YES YES
* The water softener is factory set at level 2 as this
suits most users.
Level 1
If your water is «level 1» it is already soft and therefore
there is no need to use salt. In this case the salt light
Ss will remain on.
Levels 3 and 5 (water softener adjustment)
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 anticlockwise from po-
sition ™ to position + with the aid of a knife or a
screwdriver.
Levels 4 and 5 (adjustment on the machine)
If your water is level 4 or 5,
open the door and drill
membrane (A) on the up-
per left-hand corner of the
machine.
With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments
must be made.
Important
Salt MUST be used regularly from level 2 upward.
Filling with Salt
Only use salt which is specifically designed for use in
dishwasher. Other types of salt i.e.: table/cooking salt
contain high percentages of other substances which
may reduce the efficiency of the water softener.
To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.
Pour about half a litre of water inside the container, or
until it is full (this is necessary only before filling with
salt for the first time).
7 Then, using the funnel pro-
vided, pour in the salt until
the container is full (approx.
1,5-1,8 kg). Do not worry if
water overflows from the
unit when filling with salt
this is quite normal.
Replace the cap making
f:} sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.
Screw the cap on tightly.
If you have inadvertently spilled salt select a wash
programme immediately after.
When this has been done, all that is then required is to
periodically top up the container with salt. You are re-
minded of this by the Salt Empty Light Ss on the control
panel which will iluminate when the salt has finished.
sus f
The salt container always has some water inside which
will normally overflow when refilling with salt.
Important: The Salt Light Ss on the control panel can
remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been re-
plenished, assuming the dishwasher remains
switched on. If you are using salts that take a longer
time to dissolve then the light will remain illuminated
for a longer period of time. The functioning of the
dishwasher is not affected.
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 ensures thorough rinsing and spot and
streak free drying, making the water run quickly off the
dishes for sparkling results. It is automatically added
during the hot rinse. The dispenser, which is posi-
tioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid,
which is sufficient for 16-40 dishwashing pro-
grammes, depending upon the dosage setting.
Filling with Rinse Aid
Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlock-
wise.
Add rinse aid until the container is completely full (ap-
prox. 110 ml). The indicator (B) will be completely
dark.
Top up with rinse aid 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 ab-
sorbent 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 position
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.
Use of Detergent
Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes,
except for the rinse and hold programme, load the de-
tergent in the dispenser.
Use only tablets, powder or liquid detergents specifi-
cally 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 ma-
chine.
To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). This will
open it.
To help you to correctly
dose the right amount of
detergent, inside the con-
tainer there are two refer-
ence marks:
-MIN=15ml
- MAX = 30 ml
The amount of detergent
to be used varies depend-
ing on how soiled the dishes
are and the type of dishes being washed. We recom-
mend the amounts shown in the programme chart on
the next pages.
After filling the dispenser with detergent, close the
lid.
At the end of any washing programme the lid is al-
ways open, ready for the next wash.
Since not all detergents are the same, you should also
consult the instructions on the packet.
Remember that insufficient quantities of detergent will
produce poor washing results whereas an excessive
amount of detergent does not improve washing re-
sults and is also wasteful.
Using no more than the correct amount of detergent
also contributes to reducing pollution.
For the INTENSIVE programme
If this programme, suitable for particularly dirty pans
and dishes, is selected, an extra 10g of detergent
must be placed in the Super Intensity Dispenser SID
located in the centre of the upper basket (10g of de-
tergent is about 1 level dessert spoon).
Pull out the basket and add the detergent.
Always place a small
amount of detergent (about
half tea spoon) in the Super
Intensity Dispenser SID
when you select a pro-
gramme with prewash, fol-
lowing the instructions giv-
en in the Washing Pro-
ahd gramme chart.
Important: Never use your dishwasher without the
SID dispenser.
Since SID also ensures correct distribution of the wa-
ter to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher
without it will impair the washing results.
Zanussi recommends the use of Finish dishwasher
detergent.

Loading your Machine
Before
placing
dishes
in
the
machine,
remove
any
large
scraps
of
food
from
the
plates
(small
bones,
toothpicks,
fish
bones,
scraps
of
meat
and
vegeta-
bles,
fruit
skins
etc.)
to
avoid
clogging
the
filters
and
consequently
reducing
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
up-
per
spray
arm
can
turn
freely.
Lsi0
Cutlery
should
be
placed
in
the
removable
cutlery
basket
with
the
handles
facing
downwards.
If
the
han-
dles
protrude
from
the
bottom
of
the
basket,
obstruct-
ing
the
lower
spray
arm,
load
the
cutlery
with
the
han-
dles
facing
upward.
Mix
spoons
with
the
other
cutlery
to
prevent
them
sticking
together.
Teaspoons
may
be
loaded
into
the
special
slots
pro-
vided
in
the
cutlery
basket
handle.
The cutlery basketis in two
parts which can be sepa-
rated to give greater load-
ing flexibility. To separate
the two parts, slide them
horizontally in opposite di-
rections and pull them
apart. To reassemble, re-
verse the procedure.
Use of the Upper Basket
The
upper
basket
is
designed
for
plates
(dessert
plates,
saucers,
dinner
plates
up
to
24.6
cm
in
diame-
ter),
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
To ensure proper water
distribution to the upper
basket, do not place
dishes over the hole in
the Super Intensity Dis-
penser in the centre of
the 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 bas-
ket outward and slide the
basket out.
Refit the basket in the
higher position and re-
place the stops (A) in their
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.
HELPFUL HINTS
For Best Washing Results:
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak
very heavily soiled pots and pans.
Always arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. up-
side-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 dishes under running water.
Place 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 Pro-
gramme Chart (55°C programmes, QUICKWASH pro-
gramme).
You will improve drying results by leaving the dish-
washer door ajar 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 Dishwashers
The following should not be washed in the dish-
washer:
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 se-
lect 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 cut-
lery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the
others.
lron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other
items.
Aluminium tends to go black; copper, pewter and
brass tend to stain.
Caution: You are advised not to load very small or
plastic items which can fall through the baskets.
Note: When buying new dishes, ensure that they are
dishwasher-proof.

a
full
load
of
lightly
soiled
dishes,
glasses
and
crockery
(except
pots)
so
that
you
may
re-use
them
promptly.
Due
to
the
shortness
of
this
programme,
no
drying
phase
is
provided.
* This programme is equivalent to IEC436 standard.

Operating Instructions
1 Check that the filters are clean
(see cleaning instructions)
2 Check that there is salt and rinse aid
3 Load the dishes
Remove larger scraps of food.
Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans,
plates and cutlery in it.
Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates, sau-
cers, 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 the required amount of detergent into the dis-
penser according to the indications in the Washing
Programmes chart and close the lid.
Close the dishwasher door.
5 Set the programme
Push the Programme Se-
lector Dial into make it pop

gramme you wish to select
corresponds with the
Green Marker on the win-
dow.

buttons”).

If the button is not de-
pressed, the main wash is
at 65°C.
When the 45°C button is depressed the prewash is

To restart the machine,
depress the same button

where it was interrupted.
8 At the end of the washing programme the White

window.
The dishwasher will stop and the pilot light remains on
until ON/OFF4 button is depressed.
Turn off the water tap.
Open the door and wait a few minutes before remov-
ing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and dry-
ing 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.
lf you have to open the door while the machine is
working, always switch off the appliance first by
pressing the ON/OFF button.
Care must be taken if opening the door, as steam
will escape.

MAINTENANCE
AND
CLEANING
Cleaning the Central Filters
{After each wash)
Inspect
the
central
filters
(B)
and
(C)
and
remove
any
scraps
of
food
with
a
brush,
under
running
water.
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
wo
tongues
(D).
18200
Once cleaned, refit the filters by pressing them
down until they click into place.
Cleaning the Large Filter
(Once a month)
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) anticlockwise (to-
wards the left) and then slide the whole part out.
Refit the filter following the above instructions in re-
verse order.
Caution: the dishwasher must not be used without
filters.
Incorrect
repositioning
of
the
filters
will
produce
poor
washing
results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct op-
eration of the machine.
14
Internal and External Cleaning
You must ensure that the seals around the door, the
detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regu-
larly 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 obstructed.
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 accessible. To remove it,
unhook it from the central support (see Reversible
Spray Arm).
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and con-
trol panel with a soft damp cloth. If necessary use only
neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products,
scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichloroethylene
etc...).
Check that the Super In-
tensity Dispenser (SID) is
not clogged with deter-
gent residue. If necessary,
rinse it under running wa-
ter after having removed it
from the basket by twist-
J ing it anticlockwise and
ai 22 pulling it upwards.
Refit the dispenser by following the above instructions
in reverse order.
Fasten it back onto the support by turning it clock-
wise.
To thoroughly clean the in-
ner chamber (A), simply lift
one of the two tabs (B) and
remove the top part.
Reassemble the contain-
er by following the above
instructions in reverse or-
der.
Remember to push the
top part fully home.
Important: Never use your dishwasher without the
SID dispenser.
Since SID also ensures correct distribution of the wa-
ter to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher
without it will impair the washing results.

Prolonged Periods of Non-Operation
If
you
are
not
using
the
machine
for
any
period
of
time
you
are
advised
to:
unplug the appliance and turn off the water;
fill the rinse aid dispenser;
leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of un-
pleasant smells;
leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost Precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the tem-
perature is below 0°C.
If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the
water inlet tap, disconnect the water inlet pipe and
empty it.
Moving the Machine
If
you
have
to
move
the
machine
(you
are
moving
house
etc...):
unplug it;
turn off the water tap;
remove the water inlet and discharge hoses;
pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Caution: avoid over tilting the machine during trans-
port.
