Hints and tips

The water softener

Hard water contains a high quantity of minerals that can cause damage to the appliance and bad washing results. The water softener neutralises these minerals.

The dishwasher salt keeps the water softener clean and in good conditions. It is important to set the right level of the water softener. This makes sure that the water softener uses the correct quantity of dishwasher salt and water.

Using salt, rinse aid and detergent

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.

• The rinse aid helps, during the last rinsing phase, to dry the dishes without streaks and stains.

• Combi detergent tablets contain detergent, rinse aid and other added agents. Be sure that these tablets are applicable to the water hardness in your area. Refer to the instructions on the packaging of the products.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use the tablets with long programmes.

Do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.

Loading the baskets

Refer to the supplied leaflet with examples of the load of the baskets.

• Only use the appliance to wash items that are dishwasher-safe.

Care and cleaning

• Do not put in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper.

• Do not put in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).

• Remove remaining food from the items.

• To remove easily remaining burned food, soak pots and pans in water before you put them in the appliance.

• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening down.

• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not bond together. Mix spoons with other cutlery.

• Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses.

• Put the small items in the cutlery basket.

• Put the light items in the upper basket.

Make sure that they do not move.

• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a programme.

Before starting a programme

Make sure that:

• The filters are clean and correctly installed.

• The spray arms are not clogged.

• The position of the items in the baskets is correct.

• The programme is applicable for the type of load and for the degree of soil.

• The correct quantity of detergent is used.

• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid (unless you use combi detergent tablets).

• The cap of the salt container is tight.

Warning! Before maintenance, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.

Dirty filters and clogged spray arms decrease the washing results.

www.zanussi.com

Make a check regularly and, if necessary, clean them.

Cleaning the spray arms

Do not remove the spray arms.

If the holes in the spray arms are clogged, remove remaining parts of soil with a thin pointed object.

External cleaning

Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth.

Only use neutral detergents. Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads or solvents.

Internal cleaning

If you regularly use short duration programmes, these can leave deposits of grease and limescale inside the appliance.

To prevent this, we recommend to run long duration programmes at least 2 times per month.
