Frequently Asked Questions - ZDT 311 ZANUSSI

How to install the Zanussi ZDT 311 dishwasher?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified professional. Ensure the appliance is level and that water and electrical connections comply with standards. Consult the manual for detailed diagrams.

Which programme to use for very dirty dishes?

Use the Intensive programme (65°C) with prewash if necessary. It is designed for pots and heavily soiled dishes.

Why is my dishwasher making noise?

Noise may come from poorly arranged dishes, objects dropped in the bottom, or blocked spray arms. Also check that the appliance is level.

What to do if the dishwasher does not drain?

First check the drain filter and drain hose (no kinks or blockages). The combined filter may be clogged. Clean it regularly.

How to maintain the filter and spray arms?

Remove the combined filter and rinse it under running water. The spray arms can be removed by turning them. Clean the nozzles with a toothpick.

What is the power consumption in standby?

Standby consumption is about 0.5 W. To save energy, unplug the appliance if not used for a long time.

Can I use all-in-one tablets?

Yes, all-in-one tablets work, but for best results, use separate rinse salt and rinse aid, especially if water is hard.

How to adjust the water softener?

The water softener setting depends on your water hardness. Consult the manual for the appropriate level for your area.

Why do the dishes come out wet?

Use a suitable rinse aid. Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is full. The drying cycle can be improved by using a programme with extra drying.

Where to find spare parts for the ZDT 311?

Spare parts are available from Zanussi after-sales service or on specialized websites. Identify the part code (12 digits) on the rating plate.

	Normal or light soil Delicate crockery and glassware		Main wash up to 45°C1 intermediate rinseFinal rinseDrying

1) During the Auto programme, the soil level of the dishes is determined by the cloudiness of the water. The programme duration and consumption may vary depending on whether the appliance is fully loaded or not, and on the level of soiling. The appliance automatically adjusts the water temperature during the main wash. 2) This is the perfect daily programme for cleaning a partially loaded dishwasher. Ideal for a family of 4 who only need to wash breakfast and dinner dishes and cutlery. 3) Test programme for test institutes. Please refer to the separate leaflet supplied for test data.

Consumption values

Programme	Duration (in minutes)	Energy (in kWh)	Water (in litres)
	80-90 1,6-1,8 22-24
A	90-140 1,1-1,7 12-23
	30 0,9	9
	150-160	1,0-1,1 13-15
	60-70 0,8-0,9 14-15

The pressure and temperature of the water, variations in power supply, and the quantity of dishes can affect these values.

Use of the appliance

Refer to the following instructions for each step of the procedure:

1. Check that the water softener level is correct for the water hardness in your area. If necessary, set the water softener.
2. Fill the salt container with dishwasher salt.
3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.
4. Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
5. Set the correct washing programme for the type of load and soil.
6. Fill the detergent dispenser with the correct quantity of detergent.
7. Start the washing programme.

If you use combi detergent tablets ('3 in 1', '4 in 1', '5 in 1', etc.), refer to the chapter 'Multitab function'.

Setting the water softener

The water softener removes minerals and salts from the water supply. Minerals and salts can have bad effect on the operation of the appliance.

Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales:

• German degrees (dH°).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).
• Clarke.

Adjust the water softener to the water hardness in your area. If necessary, contact your local water authority.

It is normal that water overflows from the salt container when you fill it with salt. Make sure that there is no grain of salt outside the salt compartment. Salt that stays on the tank for a while drills the tank. It is recommended to start a washing programme immediately after you fill the salt container. This prevents corrosion because of spilled salt.

When you set electronically the water softener to level 1, the salt indicator light does not stay on.

Caution! Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers.

Installation

Warning! Make sure that the mains plug is

disconnected from the mains socket during

installation.

Important! Obey the instructions in the enclosed template to:

markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Discard the packaging materials in the applicable container at the community waste disposal facilities.

Warning! To discard the appliance, follow the procedure:

• Pull the mains plug out of the socket.
• Cut off the mains cable and mains plug and discard them.
• Discard the door catch. This prevents children from closing themselves inside the appliance and endangering their lives.

- Build in the appliance.

• Install the furniture panel.

- Connect to the water supply and drain.

Install the appliance under a counter (kitchen worktop or sink).

If a repair is necessary, the appliance must be easily accessible for the engineer.

Place the appliance next to a water tap and a drain. For venting the dishwasher, only water fill, water drain, and power supply cable openings are necessary. The dishwasher has adjustable feet to allow height adjustment.

Make sure that the water inlet hose, the drain hose, and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed when you insert the machine.

Attaching the appliance to the adjacent units

Make sure that the counter below which you attach the appliance is a safe structure (adjacent kitchen units, cabinets, wall).

Water connection

Water inlet hose

Connect the appliance to a hot (max. 60°) or cold water supply.

If the hot water comes from alternative sources of energy that are more environmentally friendly (e.g., solar or photovoltaic panels and aeolian), use a hot water supply to decrease energy consumption.

Connect the inlet hose to a water tap with an external thread of 3/4".

Caution! Do not use connection hoses from an old appliance.

The water pressure must be within the limits (refer to the chapter 'Technical data'). Make sure that the local water authority gives you the average mains pressure in your area.

Make sure that there are no kinks in the water inlet hose and that the water inlet hose is not squashed or entangled. Turn the inlet hose to the left or the right to suit the installation. Fit the locknut correctly to prevent water leaks.

Caution! Do not connect the appliance to new pipes or pipes that have not been used for a long time. Let the water run for some minutes, then connect the inlet hose.

Water inlet hose with safety valve

The water inlet hose is double-walled and has an inner mains cable and a safety valve. The water inlet hose is under pressure only while the water is running. If there is a leak in the water inlet hose, the safety valve interrupts the running water.

Adjusting the level of the appliance

Make sure that the appliance is level to close and seal the door correctly. If the level of the appliance is correct, the door does not catch on the sides of the cabinet. If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the appliance is level.

Warning! Dangerous voltage

Be careful when you connect the water inlet hose:

• Do not put the water inlet hose or the safety valve in water.
• If the water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, immediately disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
• Only let the Service Force Centre replace the water inlet hose with safety valve.

Make sure that the rated voltage and type of power on the rating plate agree with the voltage and the power of the local power supply.

Always use a correctly installed shockproof socket.

The internal diameter must not be smaller than the diameter of the hose.

If you connect the water drain hose to a trap spigot under the sink, remove the plastic membrane (A). If you do not remove the membrane, remaining food can cause a blockage in the drain hose spigot.

Do not replace the mains cable yourself. Contact the Service Force Centre.
