ZD 686 specifications

The Zanussi ZD 686 stands out as a versatile and efficient under-counter dishwasher, designed to seamlessly fit into various kitchen layouts while providing optimal cleaning performance. With a focus on user convenience and energy efficiency, this model offers an array of features that cater to both everyday tasks and specific washing needs.

One of the standout features of the Zanussi ZD 686 is its compact design, making it ideal for smaller spaces without compromising on capacity. This model can accommodate up to 10 place settings, allowing it to handle the dishwashing demands of small families or kitchen spaces where a full-sized dishwasher would be impractical. Its adjustable upper basket ensures that larger items can also fit comfortably, enhancing its versatility.

The ZD 686 employs advanced washing technologies to deliver outstanding cleaning results. It features multiple wash programs, including Eco, Intensive, and Quick options. The Eco program is designed to minimize water and energy usage, making it an environmentally friendly choice for sustainable living. Meanwhile, the Intensive mode tackles stubborn stains and heavily soiled dishes, ensuring both efficiency and effectiveness.

For added convenience, the Zanussi ZD 686 is equipped with a Delay Start function, allowing users to schedule wash cycles at their convenience, which can be particularly useful in managing peak energy usage times. The appliance also incorporates a half-load option, allowing for flexibility when dealing with smaller loads, further improving energy efficiency.

In terms of technology, the appliance features a modern control panel that is user-friendly, with clear indicators for program selection and cycle progress. It operates at a sound level of around 47 dB, making it relatively quiet during operation, which is ideal for open-plan living spaces.

Another notable characteristic is the built-in water softener, which helps to prevent limescale buildup, thereby prolonging the life of the machine and maintaining optimal washing performance over time. The Zanussi ZD 686 is also designed with a stainless-steel interior that enhances durability and cleanliness.

In conclusion, the Zanussi ZD 686 is a powerful, efficient, and compact dishwasher that combines modern features and technologies to make dishwashing easier and more efficient. Ideal for smaller homes or kitchens, it delivers performance without sacrificing ease of use or energy efficiency, making it a worthwhile addition to any modern kitchen.
