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.
= 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.
Children should not be allowed to tamper with the
controls or play with the product.
= This product should be serviced by an authorised
Zanussi Service Force Centre, and only genuine Za-
nussi spare parts should be used.
® It is dangerous to alter the specification or modify
the product in any way.
= Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance
does not stand on the electrical supply cable.
= 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.
= When finishing loading or unloading close the door,
as an open door can be a hazard.
= If your house is fitted with a water softening unit or
if you live in a soft water area, it is not necessary to
add salt to the water softening unit in the dishwash-
er.
= Do not put in your dishwasher: Cutlery with wooden
or horn handles or glued parts, bronze cutlery,
saucepans with wooden handles unless they are
sold as dishwasher proof, aluminium ware, crystal
ware, leaded glass, plastic articles unless sold as
dishwasher proof, antique china or fine decorated
china unless sold as dishwasher proof. Always
check with the manufacturer of the item if in any
doubt.
= A chemical reaction can occur between silver cut-
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.

Machine
Un-

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.
