Frequently Asked Questions - ZKS5619AL ZANKER

How do I adjust the water softener?

Turn the selector on the upper front corner of the machine with a screwdriver to set the level corresponding to your water hardness (levels 0-5). Refer to the manual for hardness-to-level mapping.

How do I fill the salt container?

Unscrew the cap, pour 1 liter of water inside (only for first fill), then use the funnel to add dishwasher salt until full. Tighten the cap. The salt indicator light will come on when salt is low.

How do I adjust the rinse aid dosage?

Open the rinse aid dispenser lid, turn the selector (C) to adjust dosage from 1 (minimum) to 6 (maximum). Start at position 3 and increase if water spots appear, decrease if sticky white streaks occur.

What is the correct way to load dishes?

Scrape off food residues, load lower basket with pots and plates, upper basket with glasses and cups, cutlery basket with handles down. Ensure spray arms rotate freely. Place long knives horizontally in upper basket.

How do I select a washing programme?

Turn the programme selector dial clockwise so the letter of the desired programme (e.g., A for Intensive) aligns with the marker. Press the On/Off button to start. You can also press temperature buttons for some programmes.

How do I clean the filters?

After each wash, pull out the central filter (A) by the handle and rinse under water. Monthly, remove the large filter (B) by lifting the spray arm, turning the column 90° anticlockwise, and sliding out the filter. Clean both sides with a brush.

What should I do if the dishwasher won't start?

Check that the door is properly closed, the plug is inserted, and there is no power failure. Also ensure the water tap is open and the filters are clean. If still not working, refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual.

Why are my dishes not clean?

Possible causes: baskets overloaded, dishes not arranged properly, spray arms clogged or not rotating, filters dirty, insufficient or unsuitable detergent, water softener setting incorrect. Check each and adjust accordingly.

How do I install the dishwasher under a counter?

Ensure the recess dimensions match (height 820-880 mm). Adjust feet to level, connect water supply (cold or hot up to 60°C) with a 3/4 inch thread, and drain hose to siphon or stand pipe (30-100 cm height). Secure with brackets. Refer to installation manual for detailed steps.

How can I save energy with this dishwasher?

Wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. Do not prewash under running water; use Rinse and Hold programme if needed. Use the Bio 50°C programmes for normal soil to save energy. Ensure correct detergent and rinse aid dosage.

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, German, 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 2.

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

To adjust the water softener

With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front corner of the machine until the level required corresponds with the marker.

Water hardness			Level	Use of salt
German degrees (°dH)	French degrees (°TH)	PPM (Parts per Million)
0 - 4	0 - 8	0 - 80	0	NO
5 - 11	9 - 20	81 - 200	1	YES
12 - 22	21 - 40	201 - 400	2	YES
23 - 34	41 - 60	401 - 600	3	YES
35 - 45	61 - 80	601 - 800	4	YES
46 - 50	81 - 90	801 - 900	5	YES

If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. In this case adjust the water softener on level 1 without using salt.

The salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on.

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 (not the Rinse and Hold programme). 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).
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.
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.

Rinse aid

Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying. The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage setting.

Filling with rinse aid

1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The indicator (B) will be completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment. Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Adjusting the dose

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).

Start from position 3.

Gradually increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.

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.

Serving dishes and large 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.

Arrange spoons, dessert spoons, knives and other small items of cutlery in the racks on both sides of the cutlery basket.

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.

Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down cup racks 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.

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 31 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 outward 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.

    A["RC01"] --> B["Move Cart"]
    B --> C["Conveyor Belt"]
    C --> D["Rotating Component"]
    D --> E["Final Transport"]

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

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.

If using powder detergents proceed as follows:

1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent. As all detergents are not the same, you should consult the instructions on the packet.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent over the lid of the dispenser.

If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:

1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser.

Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor washing results, whereas an excessive amount of detergent will not improve washing results and is also wasteful.

Using no more than the correct amount also contributes to reducing pollution.

Compact detergents with enzymes

In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances.

The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C.

By choosing the "Bio" programmes you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.

These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free.

As phosphates have water softening properties, we suggest you add salt to the salt container even if the hardness of your water is as low as 8^ TH.

This will avoid lime deposits on crockery and the inner tub.

Hints and tips

To save energy

Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.

If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see "Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme.

Do not prewash dishes under running water.

For best washing and drying results

Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans.

Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.

Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily.

Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.

Items not suitable for dishwashers

The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):

• Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
• bronze cutlery
• saucepans with wooden handles
• aluminium ware
• crystal ware
• leaded glass
• plastic items
• antique or fine decorated china

Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher.

Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher proof should be washed by hand.

Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being washed several times in a dishwasher.

A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together.

Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.

Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and brass tend to stain.

If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item.

When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher proof.

Operating sequence

1. Check the filters

Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning").

2. Check that there is rinse aid and salt

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 required amount of detergent into the dispenser according to the dosage instructions from the manufacturer of your brand.

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 and open the door.

Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

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.

Maintenance and cleaning

Internal cleaning

Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.

We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent.

Cleaning the central filter

(After each wash)

Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water.

To remove the drain filter

- simply pull it out by the handle.

Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original position until it engages.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to clean or wash a surface with a funnel and bucket (no text or symbols)

Cleaning the large filter

(Every month)

If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under running water, using a brush.

To remove the large filter

1. Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards on one side.
2. Turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 90° and then slide out the filter.
3. Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in reverse order.
4. Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of the drain filter should be pointing towards the front of the appliance.

The dishwasher must not be used without filters.

Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results. Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the machine.

External cleaning

Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).

Prolonged periods of non-operation

If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to:

1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.
4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.

Frost precautions

Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0^ C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.

Moving the machine

If you have to move the machine (moving house etc.....):

1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
   Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.

Installation instructions

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.

If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.

Water supply connections

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water.

Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.

A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications.

Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.

The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.

Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow down the water supply.

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine's supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4 inch gas thread spout, or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block.

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.

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.

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

Any plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent person.

Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:

1. To the sink outlet siphon, securing it if necessary with a clip.

2. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal diameter 4 cm.

The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm (minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the dishwasher.

The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher

Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow down the discharge of water.

If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this could cause the water to siphon back into the machine.

Electrical connection

Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that:

1. The mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the "Technical specifications".

2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can all take the maximum load required. Make sure that the socket and plug are compatible without having to use any type of adaptor. If necessary, have the domestic wiring system socket replaced.

Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.

The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to observe the above safety precautions.

This appliance complies with the following E.E.C. Directives:

- 73/23 of 19.2.73 (Low Voltage Directive) and subsequent modifications;

This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or worksurface.

It is essential that the recess dimensions indicated in the diagram are followed.

No further openings for venting of the dishwasher are required, but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable pass through.

The recess height may be anywhere between 820 and 880 mm from the floor as the dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet (max 60 mm).

A distance of 2 mm should be allowed between the top of the dishwasher and the counter top.

Adjusting the height of the appliance

To adjust the height proceed as follows:

1. Loosen or tighten the two front feet.
2. The rear foot is adjusted by turning the screw in the middle of the front kick plate to the left or right.

Pads are supplied for the feet to make sliding the appliance in and out of the recess easier.

To fit the pads, press them onto the feet.

If required, the dimensions of these pads can be reduced by breaking them where marked.

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door. When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on the levelling spacers, either side of the cabinet.

If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.

The furniture door

The door on this appliance is designed for the overlay of a panel having the following dimensions:

Width 596 mm

Height 604 mm max

Thickness 20 mm max

Weight 2 - 7.5 kg max

The height of the panel depends on the height of adjacent kitchen units (see kitchen plinth adjustment).

The panel height should be no more than indicated, otherwise complete opening of the door will not be possible as the furniture door panel will hit against the dishwasher plinth.

Furtermore, it is possible to line up the control panel to correspond with the height of the drawers of adjacent pieces of furniture, thus perfectly co-ordinating with style of the rest of the unit furniture in your kitchen.

Add one or more of the fillets provided until you reach the desired height.

Secure the fillets as shown in the picture, by means of two screws 4 x 40 provided therewith.

Prepare the panel as follows:

1. Measure the distance (B) between the part below the control panel (or fillets) and the reference notch (X) on the door.

2. Drill the panel with a ∅ 2 x 14 bit according to the dimensions given in the picture.

3. Screw the two fastening pivots into the holes indicated in the picture.

4. Mount the decor panel by inserting the two fastening pivots into the slotted holes of the door. Lift the decor panel until perfect alignment with the fascia panel is obtained.

5. Once the correct position has been found, open the door and fasten the decor panel by means of the four 4 x 40 screws provided, using the holes through the inner door.

Fitting the vapour protection

Screw the vapour protecting strip onto the front part of the worktop using four 3,5 x 16 screws.

Fitting the sealing strips to the sides of the appliance

To ensure closer contact with adjacent kitchen units, fit the plastic sealing strips down both sides of the front of the machine before inserting it into the recess.

Fixing to the adjacent units

The appliance must be secured to the underside of the worktop using the brackets provided. Failure to do this could cause damage or injury.

Insert the two fixing brackets into the slots provided in the top front part of the dishwasher as shown in the figure.

Secure the brackets to the adjacent units with the 3.5 x 16 screws using the upper or the side holes.

Attention!

The sides of the dishwasher must never be drilled to prevent damage to hydraulic components.

Noise protection

Adhesive noise protection ensures excellent noise insulation. This should be fitted when the dishwasher has been mounted in the recess and the height adjusted.

Apply the protection as shown in the drawing, making sure that the non-adhesive section reaches right down to the floor.

Kitchen plinth adjustment

To allow correct opening of the door it is sometimes necessary to cut the kitchen plinth. Refer to the cutting table.

According to dimensions (a) and (b) as shown on the figure, you will find on the following table the depth (x) of the cut to be made on the plinth.

The dimensions (a) and (b) of the table are those most frequently used in the kitchen furnitures.
