Zanussi ZDT 5052 manual Before use, Setting the water softener, Filling with salt

Before use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1.Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions

2.Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

3.Set the water softener

4.Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt

5.Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

Setting the water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.

The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).

The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

The dishwasher is factory set at level 4.

If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

You may change the factory setting level by means of the wash programme selection push buttons. Each button corresponds to a different level

Level 1	= programme push button	RINSE AND HOLD
Level 2	= programme push button	INTENSIVE 70°c
Level 3	= programme push button	NORMAL 65°c
Level 4	= programme push button	BIO 50°c
Level 5	= programme push button	QUICK 50°c

To select a different level proceed as follows:

1. Press NORMAL 65°c and QUICK 50°c programme push

buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. The indicator light of the programme corresponding to the current level flashes.

2.Press within 5 seconds the programme push button corresponding to the required level you want to select.

3.5 seconds after a programme push button has last been pressed, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme setting mode.

Filling with salt

Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.

Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes. 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, which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1.To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.

2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (	this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time	).

1	0		- 10	0	- 14	0 - 140		NO
2	11 - 27			15	- 39	141	- 390	YES
3	28		- 35	40	- 50	400	- 500	YES
4	36		- 49	51	- 70	501	- 700	YES
5	50		- 63	71	- 90	701	- 900	YES

3.Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full.

Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.

4.Replace the cap making sure that there is no trace of salt on the screw thread or on the gasket.

If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.

With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain off. Use salt from level 2 upwards.

The adjustment of the water softener is possible only with the machine in setting mode.

5.Screw on the cap tightly.

The salt container will require topping up periodically.

You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.

The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched

on. If you are using salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer.

The function of the machine is not affected.
