Important safety information
Before installing and first using the dishwasher, read the instruction booklet carefully, including
its hints and warnings. Doing so will ensure that your machine will perform properly and to best
advantage. Anyone using the machine should be thoroughly familiar with its instructions for use
and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the machine if it is
moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance
use and safety.
■ Only use detergent specifically designed for use in
Installation and servicing

must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work
performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may
adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the
product and may cause personal injury or damage.
Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it
must be isolated from the electrical supply. To do this
the power plug must be removed from the wall socket.
■ Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards.
It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket.
■ Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed
when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you
will avoid anybody injuring themselves on the open door.
■ Water connection should be made via an easily
accessible tap.
■ The power cable must be plugged into an earthed
socket, which must be easily accessible. Permanent
installation must only be carried out by an authorised
electrician or competent person.
■ Make sure that the machine is disconnected from the
power supply during cleaning and maintenance work.
■ After using the machine, turn off its water supply and
disconnect it from the power supply. When removing
the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the cable. Never
touch the switch or plug with wet hands!
■ If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced
by a Service Force engineer. Please contact your
local service centre on 08705 929 929.
■ Make sure that the power cable is not nipped or other-
wise damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed
or kinked when moving the dishwasher when installing
or cleaning etc.

carefully wipe off any spillage with a damp cloth immediately.
Don’t forget to close the filler trough afterwards.
The dishwasher must not be used without the
filters. Incorrect repositioning of the filters will
produce poor washing results.
Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid
detergent.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct
operation of the machine.

Detergent dispenser (5)
Important
Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers.
Pour the detergent into the compartment, for a normal
load pour about 15g. Since not all detergents are the
same, you should also consult the instructions on the
packet. Remember that the instructions usually refer to
full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent
tablets, it is sufficient to use just half a tablet. Using the
correct amount of detergent also contributes to reducing
pollution.
Make sure that the machine is unplugged and the water
turned off before undertaking any kind of maintenance.
General cleaning
Inspect the filters and spray arm nozzle before re-loading
the machine and remove any food scraps. Wipe round
the rubber gasket at the bottom of the door to remove
grease which tends to collect there.
Cleaning the cabinet
Zanussi recommends the use of Finish dish-
washer detergent and Rinse Aid.
Wipe the outside of the cabinet and control panel regularly
with a soft damp cloth. When necessary, use liquid kitchen
or household cleaner to remove stubborn marks, rinse with
a damp cloth and rub up with a soft duster.
Water softener (6)
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard
(chalky) water, therefore the rinse aid dispenser should
be set for a low dosage.
The lime (chalk) in hard water causes white deposits to
occur on dishes and the interior of the dishwasher.
To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special
container where its hardness is removed. Since the water
softener consumes coarse dishwasher salt, you will have
to replenish the salt container after a certain number of
dishwashing cycles. When the indicator lamp on the
control panel lights up, it is time to fill up with salt.
Never use abrasive cleaners which could damage the
surface, ie: scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichlori-
ethylene, etc).
If the machine is not going to be used for some time, take
the folllowing precautions:
1. Unplug the machine and turn off the water supply.
2. Fill up the rinse aid container.
3. Make sure the tub is clean by carrying out a wash
programme (without any crockery) using Finish
Dishwasher cleaner, then dry the inside thoroughly.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container filler cap.
4. Leave the door ajar.
2. Fill up salt container with water (only the first
time).
3. Fill the container with coarse salt. Use the funnel
supplied with the machine.
Ordinary domestic salt will affect the efficiency
of the water softener and damage it.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage.
5. Screw the filler cap back in place.
The salt container holds about 1 litre, which is enough for
about 20 - 30 dishwashing cycles. Always ensure that
there is water in the salt container before filling with salt.
Water softener plug (7)
As supplied from the factory, the water softener is set for
a water hardness of up to 20°dH. If your water is harder
than this, you can increase the capacity of the water
softener by pulling out the rubber plug at the rear of the
dishwasher on the left hand side viewed from the back.
See illustration.
7
Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water
hardness level for your area.
Never run the dishwasher without salt in the container as
this may damage the water softener. If the damage is slight,
the water softener function can be partially restored by
filling the container with salt and then running the Normal
cycle 4-5 times.

How to load the dishwasher
The illustration shows the machine loaded with five place
settings. Your own dishes are not likely to be identical to
this load, but if you follow the advice below we are sure
you will be pleased with the results.
1
• Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down.
• Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc.) so that the
water can run off when drying.
• Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each
other. This is particularly important in regard to the
cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. simply cannot be
properly washed. The water must reach all the soiled
surfaces.
• Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other
items do not protrude through the openings in the
basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating.
• Never put silver and stainless steel objects together.
When these metals come into contact with each other
a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver.
Do not place sharp knives with their points
upwards. It is much safer to lay them hori-
zontally in the basket.
• China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may
not be suitable for machine washing as the colours
may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to
cutlery with wooden or plastic handles.
Make sure you always buy articles that are dish-
washer proof.
• Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you
are in doubt as to whether your plasticware can be
machine washed, we suggest you check by washing
a single item or else wash them by hand.
2
• Aluminium becomes dull and tarnished when machine
washed. The machine gets it clean, but at the expense
of its appearance.
• When washing delicate items, select the lower wash
temperature.
• Substances such as ketchup containing strong
colouring agents can cause temporary discolouration
in the machine.

Unpacking the machine
If the machine is damaged
If the dishwasher has been damaged during transport,
you should immediately notify the company responsible
for delivering it.
Check that the dishwasher is undamaged. If you
discover any damage, faults or that anything is missing,
you should notify the dealer immediately.
Never leave packaging material in a place where
children may play with it. Risk of suffocation!
Check that the following accessories are supplied with
the dishwasher when you unpack it:
1
• A funnel for filling with salt (1)
• Elbow for discharge hose (2)
2
Use
This dishwasher is designed solely for washing household
utensils suitable for washing in a dishwasher. Using it for
other purposes may damage it and invalidate the guarantee.
Protecting the machine against
freezing
If the dishwasher is placed in an environment where the
temperature sometimes falls below 0° C, there is a risk
that the small amount of water which remains inside the
parts of the dishwasher will freeze and damage it.
To prevent this you should:
1. Turn off the water supply to the machine and
disconnect the water intake hose from the
supply pipe.
2. Make sure that there is dishwasher salt in the
salt container for the water softener.
The appliance is only to be used and stored
indoors at normal room temperature. The manu-
facturer accpets no responsibility for any frost
damage.

Installation
The dishwasher is intended for installation on
a kitchen drainer or worktop. It is important to
ensure the dishwasher is level to avoid any
difficulty opening and closing the door. Its height
can be adjusted with the adjustable feet (8 mm
each) in each corner of the dishwasher.
Water inlet
The dishwasher should be permanently plumbed
into a separate cold water supply.
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 from a cold water 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 .86 psi for every 2 feet under normal
conditions.
We would advise you to have a shut-off valve or
stopcock in the water supply pipe close to the dish-
washer and accessible for easy use. This should
be turned off when the appliance is not in use.
Connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4” pipe
thread.
The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of
extension hose. If it is too short, the entire hose
must be replaced with a longer high-pressure hose,
specially designed for the purpose. The end of the
hose, which is connected to the dishwasher can be
turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut,
turn the hose, then retighten the nut.
Check that the nut and all other con-
nections are tight before the machine
is moved into position.
Use only the inlet hose supplied to the
dish-washer. Do not reuse an inlet hose
used with a previous machine.
Water drainage
Place the discharge hose over the sink as illustrated.
It must not at any point be higher up than 75 cm over
the surface which the dishwasher is standing on.
If it runs higher, operation of the dishwasher might
be impaired.
It is also important to ensure that the inside diameter
of the hose is not less than 13 mm at any point.
If the discharge hose is too long it can easily be cut
to the right length.
1. Cut the hose to a suitable length, using a
sharp knife.
2. Fit the elbow supplied onto the end of the
hose.

Power supply
The dishwasher is supplied with a lead and electrical
plug for connection to a 230 V, 13 A earthed wall
socket. Before any work is carried out on the
dishwasher, it must be isolated from the electric
mains supply, for example by removing the plug
from the wall socket.
Permanent electrical installation must be
carried out by an authorised electrician or
competent person.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should
this safety measure not be observed.
The appliance should not be connected to the
electrical supply by means of an extension cable.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not
suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and
the appropriate plug fitted.
