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

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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).
