Frequently Asked Questions - ZKS5674W ZANKER

How do I adjust the water hardness level on the Zanker ZKS5674W dishwasher?

Refer to the instruction book part 2. The water hardness adjustment is done via the salt container setting. You can find the hardness level based on your water supply and adjust the dial accordingly. See the 'Water hardness adjustment' section in the manual.

What is the maximum diameter of plates that can be loaded in the lower basket?

When the upper basket is in the higher position, you can load plates up to 32 cm in diameter in the lower basket. In the normal position, plates up to 27 cm fit in the upper basket.

How do I start a washing programme?

Load the dishwasher, add detergent, close the door, set the programme selector dial to the desired programme letter, press the required push button (e.g., 65° or BIO) if needed, then press the On/Off button to start. The indicator light will turn on.

What should I do if the dishwasher stops mid-cycle?

Press the On/Off button to pause. If the door is opened, a safety device stops the machine. To resume, close the door and press On/Off again. Avoid opening during hot phases due to steam risk.

How do I clean the filters?

Check filters regularly. Remove the large and central filters, rinse under running water, and ensure they are properly positioned before use. See 'Maintenance and cleaning' in the manual.

Can I use both powder and tablet detergent?

Yes. For the recommended dosage, see the washing programmes chart. For example, for Normal 65°C with prewash, use 25 g in the dispenser and 5 g on the lid. Always use detergent suitable for dishwashers.

Why does the rinse aid indicator light stay on?

It means rinse aid is low. Refill the rinse aid dispenser. Adjust the dosage setting if needed. The dispenser is on the control panel.

How do I adjust the height of the upper basket?

To raise the upper basket, move the front runner stops (A) outwards, slide the basket out, refit in the higher position, and replace the stops. This allows loading larger plates in the lower basket.

What does the flood protection safety device do?

The water inlet hose has a safety device that prevents water entry if the inner hose splits. A red indicator appears in the window (B). If this happens, close the water tap and have the hose replaced. Additionally, a bottom tray device stops water if leaks occur while the machine is on.

What are the dimensions of the Zanker ZKS5674W dishwasher?

Width: 59.6 cm, Height: 81.8 - 87.8 cm (adjustable), Max Depth: 57.5 cm, Depth with open door: 111.4 cm.

Operating sequence

1. Check the filters

Ensure that they are clean and properly positioned. (See "Maintenance and cleaning" - Instruction book - Part 1)

2. Check that there is rinse aid and salt

(See Instruction book - Part 1)

3. Load the dishes

Remove any scraps of food.

Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans, plates and cutlery in it.

Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates, saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.

Slide the baskets back into the machine.

4. Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely

5. Measure out detergent

Add the detergent into the dispenser according to the dosage quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart.

Close the detergent dispenser lid.

6. Close the dishwasher door

7. Set the programme

Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the letter of the programme you wish to select corresponds with the programme marker on the control panel.

If necessary select the temperature of the main wash according to the instructions in the "Washing programmes" chart (see required push buttons).

8. Start the programme

Depress the On/Off push button.

The On/Off indicator light will come on and the machine will start.

If you wish to interrupt the washing programme at any time press this button again.

9. At the end of the washing programme

At the end of the programme the dishwasher will automatically stop.

The On/Off indicator light remains on until the On/Off push button is depressed.

10. Switch off the dishwasher

Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.

Wait 15/20 minutes before opening the dishwasher's door; in this way you will avoid burning yourself when removing the dishes and avoid also the damage of the nearby furniture caused by the escape of steam.

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops.

Important!

Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape.

Using your appliance

Loading your appliance

Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance.

Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.

The lower basket

The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.

Large dishes and lids should be arranged around the edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn freely.

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard.

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.

Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards.

If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.

Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together.

Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others.

For best results we recommend to use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.

Arrange items so that water can reach all surfaces.

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket:

load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door.

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position.

To move to the higher position proceed as follows:

1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper basket outwards and slide the basket out.

2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position.

When the top basket is in the higher position it will only take plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use the raised cup racks.

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

Protection against flooding

In order to prevent water floods, the machine has been provided with two devices, having the following characteristics:

1. In the water inlet hose:

The water supply hose is fitted with a safety device, which prevents water from entering the machine should the inner hose split, due to wear. It operates even with the machine off

The problem is signalled by a red indicator which appears in the window (B - ① ②).

If this happens, close the water tap and have the hose replaced.

The retaining ring (A - ① ②) must be properly fitted so as to avoid water leaks.

Note!

Only for water supply hoses with Lock-fast safety device to prevent inadvertent loosening.

To detach the hose press yellow lever (C - ②) and turn the retaining ring anticlockwise ②.

2. In the bottom of the machine:

This device will operate if there are any water leaks in the machine, however it will only operate if the machine is on.

In this case, turn off the water tap and call the Service Force Centre.

To reapir the machine call the Service Centre.
