Safety information  
Before installing and first using the dishwasher, read this instruction booklet carefully, including its  
hints and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all  
people using the dishwasher are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features.  
Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the dishwasher if it is moved or sold, so  
that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance use and safety.  
If you take any dishes out of the dishwasher before the  
Installation and servicing  
end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important  
to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove  
any remaining detergent.  
All installation and service work done on the product  
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.  
The water safety system protects against water damages.  
The following requirements must be fulfilled:  
- The dishwasher must be electrically connected when  
it is shut off.  
- The dishwasher must be correctly installed.  
- Always shut off the water supply whenever the dish-  
washer is left unattended for an extended period.  
Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible  
stopcock.  
In the event of flooding or leakage, shut off the water  
supply immediately by closing the stopcock and dis-  
connect the power supply by unplugging the power cord  
or removing the fuse. When removing the electrical  
plug, grip the plug, not the lead.  
The power cable must be plugged into an earthed  
socket, which need to be easily accessible. Permanent  
installation must only be carried out by an authorized  
electrician.  
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 in connection  
with installation or cleaning etc.  
Conservation  
- packaging:  
Servicing and possible repairs must be carried out by  
a service company authorized by the supplier. Use only  
spare parts supplied by these. Never try to repair the  
dishwasher yourself.  
All materials used in packaging this appliance are environ-  
mentally-friendly. The various plastics used are identified  
and can be recycled.  
- old apparatus:  
At the end of the appliance's useful life, disconnect the  
electrical plug from the power supply, then cut the electrical  
cable at the point where it enters the appliance. Make quite  
sure that children will not be able to play with it.  
Child Safety  
The dishwasher should be used by adults only. Do not  
let children play with the controls or other parts of it.  
Remember that the plastic bags included in the  
packaging can be fatal playthings for small children.  
Keep all detergents in safe place out of children´s  
reach.  
Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing  
on the open door.  
During Use  
This dishwasher is designed solely for washing house-  
hold utensils suitable for machine washing. Using it for  
other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage  
to property and invalidate the guarantee.  
Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running,  
as hot steam may escape.  
Only use detergent specifically designed for use in  
dishwashers.  
Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards.  
It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket.

Zanussi recommends the use of Finish dish-  
washer detergent and Rinse Aid.  
Spray arm (1)  
It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear.  
A clogged hole can seriously affect washing efficiency.  
If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut anti-  
clockwise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm.  
Clear the holes and shake out any food remnants.  
Water softener (6)  
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard  
water. The lime in hard water causes white deposits to  
occur on dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher.  
To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special  
container where the hardness is removed.  
Coarse strainer/microfilter (2)  
The purpose of the coarse strainer is to catch large objects  
such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure  
that the strainer is always clean. Turn the coarse strainer  
anti-clockwise. Lift it out and rinse it under running water  
whenever necessary.  
Since the water softener uses coarse dishwasher salt,  
you will have to refill the salt container after a certain  
number of dishwasher cycles.  
It is extremely important, that the salt container  
is filled up with the coarse dishwasher salt before  
using the dishwasher for the first time.  
Fine filter (3)  
It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or  
clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency.  
The fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when  
you have removed the coarse strainer.  
The  
indicator light on the control panel is lit when the  
container requires refilling.  
1. Unscrew the filler cap to the salt container anti-  
clockwise.  
2. Fill the salt container with water (only the first  
time).  
Detergent dispenser (4)  
Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch  
towards the compartment. Consult the instructions on the  
detergent packet, fill the compartment accordingly and  
close the lid. Pre-wash detergent is poured into the smaller  
compartment to the left when needed. This detergent is  
active allready at pre-rinsing. Make sure that there is no  
items that prevents the lid from opening.  
3. Fill the container with dishwasher salt, using the  
funnel supplied.  
4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage  
around the filler opening.  
5. Screw the filler cap back properly in place.  
Only use detergents specially designed for dish-  
washers.  
The water softener is now ready for the first load of dishes.  
Always make sure that there is coarse dishwasher salt in  
the container, which holds about 1 litre.  
To adjust the water softener, see page 7.  
Rinse aid dispenser (5)  
Use of rinse aid will result in cleaner and faster drying of  
the load, since it helps water and soil to run off.  
Too much rinse aid may result in streakiness, too little  
may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 150 ml.  
This is enough for approx. 60 wash cycles, depending  
on the dosage setting. Adjust the dosage setting according  
to the hardness of the water.  
Only use special salt for dishwashing machines,  
ordinary domestic salt, especially table salt, can  
damage the water softener.  
You can set the dosage between 1 - 6, the appli-  
ance is factory set to 1.  
Begin at the lowest dosage setting and increase  
if necessary by turning the setting arrow with e.g.  
the handle of a spoon.  
The  
indicator light on the control panel is lit when the  
dispenser requires refilling.  
1. Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid  
catch towards the compartment and lift the lid.  
2. Fill up with rinse aid; do not overfill.  
3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive  
foaming during the next wash programme.  
4. Close the lid and press until it locks again.  
Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid  
detergent.

Adjusting the water softener  
To prevent limescaling on the dishes and to the interior of the  
dishwasher, the dishes must be washed with soft water.  
Contact your local Water Authority to find the  
exact water hardness level for your area.  
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener, where tap-  
water which is harder then 4 °d (german degree) is softened.  
The water softener has 5 settings:  
Adjust the water softener according to the table below for the  
water hardness level for your area.

Using the appliance  
Starting the programme  
Pause function  
1. Scrape or rinse off solid food remnants.  
With the pause function the programme can be temporarily  
disrupted for a short period of time.  
2. Load the dishwasher.  
(See the basket and loading in page 10).  
1. Press in the On/Off button. The programme stops.  
2. All lamps goes out.

3. When you want the programme to continue again,  
you press the On/Off button.  
4. Close the door.  
The programme continues.  
5. Press in the On/Off button.  
The programme should not be paused for any  
longer than necessary, because the water inside  
the dishwasher has cooled down and must be  
heated again which increases the power  
consumption.  
6. Press in the required programme button (see pro-  
gramme chart). Programme indicator lamp is lit.  
During the six seconds the two top indicator lamps  
are flashing, you can select another programme  
cycle. If not, the selected programme starts.  
The lamp indicates which part of the selected  
cycle the dishwasher is in.  
Cancelling the drying phase  
In case you do not want to wait until the drying phase is  
completed, you can cancel it.

be cleaned when the dishwasher has finished  
the programme.  
1. Press in the On/Off button. The control lamp for  
the On/Off button goes out.  
If both the top and middle indicator lights are  
flashing, first check that the door is properly closed,  
if it is read the section ”Something Not Working”.  
2. Open the door. The drying phase is cancelled.  
Switching the dishwasher off  
Stopping the programme temporarily

may escape.  
3. Close the door and the programme continues  
after about 6 seconds.  
Open the door carefully when the dishwasher is  
running, since hot steam may escape.  
This dishwasher has a new feature called  
”IMPULSE WASHING”. This washing system  
varies both the revolutions of the pump and the  
water pressure for more intensive cleaning of the  
dishes during a programme. That is why different  
sections of the programme cycle do not sounds  
the same.  
Cancelling the programme  
1. Press and hold in the button for the programme  
in progress until the indicator light for the pro-  
gramme goes out.  
2. Release the programme button. The programme

programme is not finished, it is only paused.  
When you start the dishwasher again, the pro-  
gramme will continue.

Loading and unloading the dishwasher  
How to load the dishes  
Baskets  
The illustration shows the dishwasher loaded with six  
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.  
Main basket  
Cutlery basket  
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 get at 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.  
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  
dishwasher proof.  
Silver and aluminum items tend to be discolour when  
washed. Food remnants from egg and mustard often  
causes discolourations and stains on silver. Make sure  
to rinse off and remove food remnants on silver if it is  
not washed immediately after it has been used.  
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.  
When washing delicate items, select the programme  
with the lower wash temperature.  
Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring  
agents can cause temporary discolouration to the  
interior of the dishwasher.  
Do not place sharp knives with their points up-  
wards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally  
in the main basket.  
If required, the top and the handle to the cutlery  
basket are removable.  
Unloading  
Hot dishes are sensitive to mechanical shocks. Always let  
the dishes cool down before unloading.  
The dishes dry faster if the door is opened  
slightly for a short time once the programme  
has finished.

where the temperature sometimes fall below 0° C,  
there is a risk that the small amount of water which

Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct  
operation of the dishwasher.  
1. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.  
2. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.  
Cleaning the spray arm nozzle  
The holes in the spray arm nozzle must be kept free of  
scraps for the efficiency of the washing action.  
Inspect the spray arm regularly. When thorough cleaning  
is necessary, remove the spray arm by unscrewing the  
nut anti-clockwise, remove the washer and lift off the  
spray arm.  
3. 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-  
facture is not responsible for any frost damage.  
Wash the spray arm with hot soapy water using a stiff  
saucepan brush if necessary to remove scraps.  
Re-assemble carefully, making sure the nut is secure.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Wipe the outside of the cabinet and control panel regularly  
with a soft damp cloth. When necessary, use washing up  
liquid to remove stubborn marks, rinse with a damp cloth  
and rub up with a soft duster.  
Never use abrasive cleaners which could damage the  
surface, ie: scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichlori-  
ethylene, etc).  
If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time,  
take the following precautions:  
1. Unplug the dishwasher 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.  
4. Leave the door ajar.

Installation  
Positioning  
The dishwasher is intended to be installed on a kitchen  
sink, worktop or built-in. To function properly, make sure  
that the appliance is level. Its height can be adjusted with  
the adjustable feets (5 mm each). See the illustration for  
built-in measurements.  
Water inlet  
The dishwasher is equipped with safety features  
which are to prevent the water from going back  
to the fresh water system. These features are ac-  
cording to current water technical safety regulations.  
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 dishwasher’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 stop-  
cock in the water supply pipe close to the dishwasher  
and accessible for easy use. This should be turned off  
when the appliance is not in use. Insert the combination  
rubber washer/filter and connect the inlet hose to a tap  
with a 3/4" pipe thread.  
The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of exten-  
sion hose. If it is too short, the entire hose must be repla-  
ced 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.

Installation  
Water drainage  
To protect the dishwasher against water damage  
it is equipped with a water safety system. In the  
event of a fault the drain-pump starts automatically  
and the remaining water inside the dishwasher is  
pumped out.  
The water safety system also works when the  
dishwasher is switched off. However the dish-  
washer must be connected electrically.  
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.  
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.  
GREEN & YELLOW  
Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.  
13 AMP FUSE  
The cut off plug should then be disposed of to prevent  
the hazard of shocks in case it should be plugged  
into a 13 amp socket in another part of your home.
