Spray arm, Coarse strainer/microﬁlter

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.

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.

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.

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.

Only use detergents specially designed for dish- washers.

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.

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.

Zanussi recommends the use of Finish dish- washer detergent and Rinse Aid.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Only use special salt for dishwashing machines, ordinary domestic salt, especially table salt, can damage the water softener.
