INSTALLATION  
Remove all packaging before positioning the  
machine.  
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.  
Positioning  
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap  
and a drain.  
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which  
can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the  
installation .  
CA06  
Caution: the retaining ring must be correctly fitted to  
avoid water leaks.  
Levelling  
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent  
or slow down the flow of water.  
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and  
sealing of the door.  
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.  
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will  
not catch on the spacers on either side of the cabinet.  
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;  
IN12  
IN11  
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten  
the adjustable support feet, until the machine is  
perfectly level.  
to a wall outlet provided with vent-hole, minimum  
internal diameter 4 cm;  
The waste connection must be at a height of between  
30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the  
floor.  
Water Supply Connections  
This dishwasher must be permanently plumbed into a  
cold water supply.  
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 average  
mains pressure in your area.  
+ 2 m max  
Where the water is supplied via a cold water storage  
cistern, you can work out the pressure yourself by mea-  
suring 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.  
CS05  
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.  
For making 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 pur-  
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.

- Press the programme button corresponding to the  
required level.  
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.  
- 5 seconds after having last pressed any of the  
programme buttons, the dishwasher memorises the  
level selected and returns to the programme setting  
mode.  
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your  
water will be. The «hardness» level is measured on 2  
equivalent scales: Clarke degrees or French degrees.  
Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact  
water hardness level for your area.  
Important  
Salt MUST be used regularly from level 2 upward.  
If your water is «level 1» it is already soft and there-  
fore there is no need to use salt.  
The dishwasher is equipped with a softener which uses  
special dishwasher salt to provide lime-free (softened)  
water. The softener can treat water hardness up to 90  
French degrees via 5 adjustment levels.  
Filling with Salt  
Find on the table below the level corresponding to the  
hardness of your water and the required adjustments:  
Only use salt designed specifically for use in dish-  
washers. Other types of salt contain high percentages  
of other substances which may reduce the efficiency  
of the softener.

Place approximately 1kg 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.  
* The water softener is factory set at level 2 as this suits most users.  
** If you use phosphate free detergents containing enzymes, use  
salt starting from 6 Clarke degrees (7 French degrees).  
Screw the cap  
tightly.  
You may also change the factory setting by means of  
the wash programme selector buttons. Each button  
corresponds to a different level:

Level 3 = NORMAL 65°c Programme Button  
Level 4 = ECONOMY 55°c Programme Button  
Level 5 = QUICK 55°c Programme Button  
SR03  
To select a different level, proceed as follows:  
- Press the NORMAL 65°c and QUICK 55°c  
programme buttons simultaneously for about 5  
seconds until the short «instruction accepted»  
signal is heard. The pilot light corresponding to the  
current level flashes very rapidly.  
When this has been done, all that is required is to  
periodically add salt to the container. You are reminded  
of this by the Salt refill light «SALT» on the control panel  
which will illuminate when the salt has finished.  
The salt container always has some water inside  
which will normally overflow when refilling with salt.  
Caution  
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the com-  
plete washing programmes (not 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.

To open the dispenser lid, pull the catch (D). This will  
open it.  
Rinse Aid  
The use of this liquid ensures thorough rinsing, 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  
positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse  
aid, which is sufficient for 16-40 dishwashing  
programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.  
To help you to correctly

dose the right amount of  
detergent, inside the con-  
tainer there are two refer-  
ence marks:

- MIN = 15 ml  
- MAX = 30 ml  
Filling with Rinse Aid  
DE07  
Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.  
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 on the next pages.  
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.  
After filling the dispenser with detergent, close  
the lid.  
Remember to CLOSE the lid after every refill.  
Caution  
The programme with pre-  
wash requires a small extra  
amount of detergent of ap-  
proximately 5g = half dessert  
spoon to be poured over the  
lid of the dispenser, as shown  
on the picture.  
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 position  
selector (C) (position 1 - minimum dose, position 6  
maximum dose). (Start from position 3). 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.  
DE02  
For the intensive programme (suitable for particularly dirty  
pans and dishes) an extra 10g of detergent must be  
poured over the dispenser’s lid.  
At the end of any washing programme the lid is always  
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 results  
and is also wasteful.

Using no more than the correct amount of detergent  
also contributes to reducing pollution.  
Caution: Do not put liquid detergent into the rinse aid  
compartment  
Phosphate free detergents with enzymes  
Use of Detergent  
These new compact powders are generally phosphate-  
free. As phosphates have water softening properties,  
we suggest you add salt to the salt container even If the  
hardness of your water is as low as 6 Clarke degrees.  
This will avoid lime deposits on crockery and the inner  
tub.  
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 specifically  
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.  
Zanussi recommends the use of Finish dishwasher  
detergent.

The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can  
be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and  
bowls.  
Loading your Machine  
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any  
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 performance.  
To lower the prongs:  
slightly pull them upward  
and let them drop down  
(see picture); to bring them  
back to the standing posi-  
tion, just pull them up  
again.  
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the  
dishes.  
Use of the Lower Basket  
UI18  
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.  
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.

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.  
US07  
The cup-rack on the left folds upwards to increase  
your loading flexibility.  
Mix spoons with the other  
cutlery to prevent them  
sticking together.

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 out-  
A
ward and slide the basket  
out.  
Refit the basket in the higher  
position and replace the  
stops (A) in their original  
position.  
RC01  
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:  
Items not Suitable for Dishwashers  
Before loading, remove all 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.  
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.  
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.  
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 other  
items.  
Aluminium tends to go black; copper, pewter and  
brass tend to stain.  
You will improve drying results by leaving the  
dishwasher 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.  
To Save Energy  
Caution: You are advised not to load very small  
items which can fall through the baskets.  
Do not prewash dishes under running water.  
Note: When buying new dishes, ensure that they are  
dishwasher-proof.  
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  
Programme Chart (ECONOMY programmes, QUICK  
programme).

second advises you that the programme has started.  
The indicator light which corresponds to the programme  
under way is now permanently on.  
2 Switch on the appliance at the mains  
supply.  
Caution  
3 Check that there is salt and rinse aid  
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.

Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans,  
plates and cutlery in it.  
Care must be taken if opening the door, as steam will  
escape.  
Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates,  
saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.  
8 At the end of the washing programme  
Slide the baskets back into the machine.  
Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.  
The dishwasher will automatically stop and an inter-  
mittent audible signal of about 5 sec. informs you that  
the programme has finished.  
5 Measure out detergent  
Wait until the end of the signal before opening the  
door.  
Pour the required amount of detergent into the  
dispenser according to the indications in the Washing  
Programmes chart and close the lid.
