INSTALLATION
Remove all packaging before positioning the
machine. |
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.
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.
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 Press-Block.
To make this easier, the
hose itself may be turned to the left or the right. In
either case, be sure to incorporate 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
prevent or slow down the
flow of water.
If the machine is con-
nected 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.
Water Outlet Connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected as
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.
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
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should this
safety measure not be observed.

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
(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:
Water hardness
°dH TH | Level
Clarke French
degrees | degrees
Water softener | Adjustment
adjustment | on the machine
* The water softener is factory set at level 2 as this
suits most users.
** If you use phosphate free detergents containing
enzimes, add salt in the water softener starting from
6 Clarke degrees.
Level 1
lf your water is «level 1» it is already soft and there-
fore there is no need to use salt.
Levels 3 and 5 (water softener adjustment)
lf 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
position —— to position ++ with the aid of a knife or a
screwdriver.
Levels 4 and 5 (adjustment on the machine)
lf your water is level 4 or 5, open the door and drill
membrane (A) on the upper 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 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 1 It of water (this operation is
necessary only the first time).
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.
YF
Uf
N =U, 7 /
. 4
When this has been done, all that is required is to
periodically add salt to the container. You are
reminded of this by the Green Salt Refill Indicator on
the cap of the salt container, which will disappear
when the salt has finished.
The salt container has always some water inside
which will normally overflow when refilling it with salt.
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, remain-
ing 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) anticlockwise.
Add rinse aid until the container is completely full
(approx. 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
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.
Use of Detergent
Before starting any of the dishwashing programmes,
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 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 dis-
penser with detergent,
close the lid.
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 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.
Phosphate free detergents with enzymes
These new detergents, although welcome from an
ecological point of view, react far more susceptibly to
water hardness than conventional products.
Therefore, in order to avoid white lime deposits on
crockery and the inner tub, you should add salt in the
water softener even if the hardness of your water is
as low as 6 Clarke degrees, when using these new
detergents.

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
upper spray arm can turn freely.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery

basket with the handles facing downwards. If the han-
dies 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 basket is in
two parts which can be
separated to give greater
loading flexibility. To sep-
arate the two parts, slide
them horizontally in oppo-
site directions and pull
them apart. To reassem-
ble, reverse the procedure.
The two rear rows of prongs of the lower basket can
be easily lowered to allow you to load pots,pans and
bowls.
To lower the prongs:
slightly pull them upward
and let them drop down
(see picture); to bring
them back to the standing
position, just pull them up
again.
Use of the Upper Basket
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates up to 24 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.
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.
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.
10
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
v7, paeel > GE
AAA AVY re
ECL Mitr | higher position and replace
the stops (A) in their origi-
nal position.
When the top basket is in the higher position it will
only take plates up to 15 cm in diameter and you will
not be able to use the raised cup racks.
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 .

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 two tongues (D).
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
(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
filters.
Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce
poor washing results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct
operation of the machine.
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).
Wash the spray arms under running water and refit
them back.
Never use the dishwasher without spray arms.
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...).
Prolonged Periods of Non-Operation
lf 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
unpleasant smells;
leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost Precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the
temperature 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.

BUILDING-IN
Building-in features
This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitch-
en counter or sink.
In either case, it is essential that the recess dimensions
indicated in the picture are followed.
No further openings for venting of the dishwasher are
required, but only to let the water inlet and drain hoses
and power supply cable pass through.
The recess height may be anywhere between 820 and
880 mm from the floor inasmuch as the dishwasher in-
corporates levelling feet adjustable over a wide range
(max 60 mm).
Adjust the height of the appliance by turning these
feet.
A distance of 2 mm should be allowed between the top
of the dishwasher and the counter top.
Fitting under a counter (kitchen worktop
or sink)
It is absolutely essential that the dishwasher is discon-
nected from the electricity supply before gaining ac-
cess to any internal component.
Fit the dishwasher into the appropriate housing space
and connect it. Make sure that the water fill and drain
hoses and the power supply cable are not bent or
kinked.
Fitting the panel to the door
The door on this model is designed for the overlay of a
panel having the following dimensions:
Width: 596 mm
Height: 590 mm max
Thickness: 20 mm max
Weight: 2 to 7.5 kg max
Note:
The panel height should not be more than what indi-
cated, otherwise complete opening of the door will no
longer be possible as the panel hits against the dish-
washer plinth.
It is possible to line up the control panel to correspond
with the height of the drawers of the adjacent furniture,
thus co-ordinating with the rest of the furniture in your
kitchen.
Add one or more of the
fillets provided until you
reach the desired height.
Secure the fillets as shown
in the picture, by means
of two screws 4.2x38 pro-
vided therewith.
Prepare the panel as follows:
: Measure the distance (B)
between the underside of
the control panel (or fil-
lets) and the reference
notch (X) on the door.
Measure the same dis-
tance (B) on the wooden
panel starting from the
upper edge.
Position the supporting cross-bar provided, with the
reference notch (Z) in line with (B) on door panel. Keep
the same distance between the centre of the support’s
fastening holes and the side edges of the wooden pan-
el when fixing to the door panel.
On the panel mark the position for the four fastening
screws. Drill the panel with a @ 2x12 bit and fix the
supporting cross-bar onto the wooden panel with the
3.5x16 screws provided.
Mount the decor panel by inserting the two pivots of
the cross-bar into the slotted holes of the door.
Lift the decor panel until the alignment with the facia
panel is obtained.
Once the correct position
has been found, open the
door and fasten the de-
cor panel on the lower
section by means of the
two long screws 4x40
provided, using the holes
of the inner door (see fig.)

Securing under a counter
Open the door; vertically
insert the two mounting
brackets (A) on the front
part of the dishwasher
and turn them 90° (see
fig.). Secure the brackets
to the counter by means
of two 3.5x16 screws pro-
vided.
Important!
The dishwasher must be secured against tilting. There-
fore, make sure that the counter it is fitted under, is
suitably secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen
cabinets, wall).
Attention!
When the dishwasher is secured to the kitchen
cabinets, do not drill any holes into the sides of the
machine.
Adjusting the door balance
The door of the dishwasher is balanced when it is open
in any position.
Fitting the decor panel
may sometimes affect
this balance. In this case
it will be necessary to ad-
just the balance as fol-
lows:
Half-open the door and
regulate the screws lo-
cated on the kick plate.
By screwing or unscrewing these screws, the tension
of the door balancing springs is increased or de-
creased respectively.
Attention!
The weight of the panel should be within the limits giv-
en in the “dimensions of the panel”, otherwise balanc-
ing the door will not be possible.
Levelling
Make sure that the dishwasher door closes properly,
without rubbing on sides. Otherwise level the machine
by slightly screwing or unscrewing the two front feet
until perfect closure of the door is reached.
Kitchen plinth adjustment
To allow correct opening
of the door it is some-
times necessary to cut
the kitchen plinth. Refer
to the cutting table be-
low.
According to dimensions
of (a) and (b) as shown on
the figure, you will find on
the following table the
depth (X) of the cut to be
made on the plinth.
