Safety information

Before installing and first using the dishwasher, read this instruction booklet carefully, including its hints and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all people using the dishwasher are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the dishwasher if it is moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance use and safety.

Installation and servicing

●A Il installation work should be done by a qualified or competent person. Any servicing must be carried by a qualified and authorised engineer. Work performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the product and may cause personal injury or damage. Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it must be isolated from the electrical supply. To do this the power plug must be removed from the wall socket.
●Water connection should be made via an easily accessible tap.
●The power cable must be plugged into an earthed socket, which must be easily accessible. Permanent installation must only be carried out by an authorised electrician or competent person.
- If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a Service Force engineer. Please contact your local service centre on 08705 929 929.
●Make sure that the power cable is not nipped or otherwise damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed or kinked when moving the dishwasher when installing or cleaning etc.
●Servicing and possible repairs must be carried out by a Service Force engineer. Always insist on genuine spare parts. Never try to repair the dishwasher yourself.

Child Safety

●The dishwasher should be used by adults only. Do not let children play with the controls or other parts of it.
- Do not allow children to play with the packaging. Risk of suffocation.
- Keep all detergents in safe place out of children's reach.
●Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing on the open door.

During Use

●This dishwasher is designed solely for washing household utensils suitable for machine washing. Using it for other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage to property and invalidate the guarantee.
●Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running, as hot steam may escape.
- Only use detergent specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
- Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket.

  • Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody injuring themselves on the open door.
  • If you take any dishes out of the dishwasher before the end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any remaining detergent.
    ●The water safety system protects against water damages. The following requirements must be fulfilled:

  • The dishwasher must be electrically connected when it is switched off.

  • The dishwasher must be correctly installed.
  • Always shut off the water supply whenever the dishwasher is left unattended for an extended period.

●In the event of flooding or leakage, switch off the water supply immediately by closing the stopcock and disconnect the power supply by unplugging the power cable or removing the fuse. When removing the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the cable. Never touch the switch or plug with wet hands!

Description of the appliance

Diagram illustrating the step-by-step assembly of a kitchen appliance with labeled parts and a coffee cup pouring into it.

Spray arm (1)

It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear. A clogged hole can seriously affect washing efficiency. If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the nut anti-clockwise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm. Clear the holes and shake out any food remnants.

Coarse strainer/microfilter (2)

The purpose of the coarse strainer is to catch large objects such as a cocktail stick and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that the strainer is always clean. Turn the coarse strainer anti-clockwise. Lift it out and rinse it under running water whenever necessary.

Fine filter (3)

It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or clogged filter will always impair washing efficiency. The fine filter can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you have removed the coarse strainer.

Detergent dispenser (4)

Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch towards the compartment. Consult the instructions on the detergent packet, fill the compartment accordingly and close the lid. Remember that the instructions usually refer to full-size dishwashers, for example when using detergent tablets, it is sufficient to use just half a tablet. Pre-wash detergent is poured into the smaller compartment to the left when needed. This detergent is used during the pre-rinsing. Make sure that nothing prevents the lid from opening.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Detergent dispenser (4) - 1

Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers.

Rinse aid dispenser (5)

Use of rinse aid will result in cleaner and faster drying of the load, since it helps water and residues to run off. Too much rinse aid may result in streakiness, too little may cause white spots. The dispenser holds about 150 ml. This is enough for approx. 60 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting. Adjust the dosage setting according to the hardness of the water.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Rinse aid dispenser (5) - 1

You can set the dosage between 1 - 6, the appliance is factory set to 1. Begin at the lowest dosage setting and increase if necessary by turning the setting arrow with e.g. the handle of a spoon.

The amount of rinse aid can be checked trough the lens on the dispenser. When the lens is clear, requires refilling of rinse aid.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Rinse aid dispenser (5) - 2

  1. Open the lid to the dispenser by pressing the lid catch towards the compartment and lift the lid.
  2. Fill up with rinse aid; do not overfill.

  3. Wipe off any spillage carefully to prevent excessive foaming during the next wash programme.

  4. Close the lid and press until it locks again.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Rinse aid dispenser (5) - 3

Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid detergent.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Rinse aid dispenser (5) - 4

Zanussi recommends the use of Finish dishwasher detergent and Rinse Aid.

Water softener (6)

This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard water. The lime in hard water causes white deposits to occur on dishes and to the interior of the dishwasher. To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special container where the hardness is removed. Since the water softener uses dishwasher salt, you will have to refill the salt container after a certain number of dishwasher cycles.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Water softener (6) - 1

It is extremely important, that the salt container is filled up with the dishwasher salt before using the dishwasher for the first time.

The S indicator light on the control panel is lit when the container requires refilling.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Water softener (6) - 2

  1. Unscrew the filler cap to the salt container anticlockwise.
  2. Fill the salt container with water (only the first time).
  3. Fill the container with dishwasher salt, using the funnel supplied.
  4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage around the filler opening.
  5. Screw the filler cap back properly in place.

The water softener is now ready for the first load of dishes. Always make sure that there is dishwasher salt in the container, which holds about 1 litre. How to adjust the water softener, see chapter "Adjusting the water softener".

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Water softener (6) - 3

Only use special salt for dishwashing machines, ordinary domestic salt, especially table salt, can damage the water softener.

!

Dishwashing detergent in tablet form is not suitable for use in the Quick programme cycle because some tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes.

Loading and unloading the dishwasher

How to load the dishes

The illustration shows the dishwasher loaded with six place settings. Your own dishes are not likely to be identical to this load, but if you follow the advice below we are sure you will be pleased with the results.

●Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down.
●Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc.) so that the water can run off when drying.
●Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each other. This is particularly important in regard to the cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. simply cannot be properly washed. The water must reach all the soiled surfaces.
●Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other items do not protrude through the openings in the basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating.
●Never put silver and stainless steel objects together. When these metals come into contact with each other a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver.
●China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may not be suitable for machine washing as the colours may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to cutlery with wooden or plastic handles.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - How to load the dishes - 1

Make sure you always buy articles that are dishwasher proof.

●Silver and aluminum items tend to discolour when washed. Food remnants from egg and mustard often causes discolourations and stains on silver. Make sure to rinse off and remove food remnants on silver if it is not washed immediately after it has been used.
●Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you are in doubt as to whether your plasticware can be machine washed, we suggest you check by washing a single item or else wash them by hand.
- When washing delicate items, select the programme with the lower wash temperature.
●Substances such as ketchup containing strong colouring agents can cause temporary discolouration to the interior of the dishwasher.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - How to load the dishes - 2

Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the main basket.

Unloading

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. Always let the dishes cool down before unloading.

Maintenance and cleaning

General cleaning

Inspect the filters and spray arm nozzle before re-loading the dishwasher and remove any food scraps. Wipe round the rubber gasket at the bottom of the door to remove grease which tends to collect there.

Cleaning the filters

There are two filters, a coarse one and a fine one which should be cleaned after every wash. Lift out these filters which are in the base of the dishwasher and wash under running water.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Cleaning the filters - 1

The dishwasher must not be used without the filters. Incorrect repositioning of the filters will produce poor wash results.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Cleaning the filters - 2

Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of the dishwasher.

Cleaning the spray arm

The holes in the spray arm must be kept free of scraps for the efficiency of the washing action.

Inspect the spray arm regularly. When thorough cleaning is necessary, remove the spray arm by unscrewing the nut anti-clockwise, remove the washer and lift off the spray arm.

Wash the spray arm with hot soapy water using a stiff brush if necessary to remove scraps.

Re-assemble carefully, making sure the nut is secure.

Cleaning the cabinet

Wipe the outside of the cabinet and control panel regularly with a soft damp cloth. When necessary, use washing up liquid to remove stubborn marks, rinse with a damp cloth and rub up with a soft duster.

Never use abrasive cleaners which could damage the surface, ie: scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichloriethylene, etc).

If the dishwasher is not going to be used for some time, take the following precautions:

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Cleaning the cabinet - 1

Use

This dishwasher is designed solely for washing household utensils suitable for washing in a dishwasher. Using it for other purposes may damage it and invalidate the guarantee.

Installation

Water inlet

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Water inlet - 1

The dishwasher is equipped with safety features which are to prevent the water from going back to the fresh water system. These features are according to current water technical safety regulations.

The dishwasher should be permanently plumbed into a separate cold water supply.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the technical specifications, as it will not function correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.

Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area. Where the water is supplied from a cold water cistern you can work out the pressure yourself by measuring the vertical distance (or 'Head') between the dishwasher's inlet hose and the outlet from the cold water storage cistern; allowing .86 psi for every 2 feet under normal conditions.

We would advise you to have a shut-off valve or stopcock in the water supply pipe close to the dishwasher and accessible for easy use. This should be turned off when the appliance is not in use. Connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4" pipe thread.

The inlet hose must not be joined onto any form of extension hose. If it is too short, the entire hose must be replaced with a longer high-pressure hose, specially designed for the purpose. The end of the hose, which is connected to the dishwasher can be turned in any direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose, then retighten the nut.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Water inlet - 2

Check that the nut and all other connections are tight before the machine is moved into position.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Water inlet - 3

Use only the inlet hose supplied to the dish-washer. Do not reuse an inlet hose used with a previous machine.

Water drainage

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Water drainage - 1

To protect the dishwasher against water damage it is equipped with a water safety system. In the event of a fault the drain-pump starts automatically and the remaining water inside the dishwasher is pumped out.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Water drainage - 2

The water safety system also works when the dishwasher is switched off. However the dishwasher must be connected electrically.

Place the discharge hose over the sink as illustrated. It must not at any point be higher up than 75 cm over the surface which the dishwasher is standing on. If it runs higher, operation of the dishwasher might be impaired.

It is also important to ensure that the inside diameter of the hose is not less than 13 mm at any point. If the discharge hose is too long, it can easily be cut to the right length.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Water drainage - 3

  1. Cut the hose to a suitable length, using a sharp knife.
  2. Fit the elbow supplied onto the end of the hose.

Power supply

The dishwasher is supplied with a lead and electrical plug for connection to a 230 V, 13 A earthed wall socket. Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it must be isolated from the electric mains supply, for example by removing the plug from the wall socket.

Zanussi-Electrolux ZSF2420 - Power supply - 1

Permanent electrical installation must be carried out by an authorised electrician or competent person.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

The manufacturer declines any liability should this safety measure not be observed.

The appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply by means of an extension cable.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.

Remove the fuse from the cut off plug.

Important: The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «E» or the earth symbol ⊕ or coloured green and yellow.

Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «N» or coloured black.

Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter «L» or coloured red.

The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a fuse.

For replacement, use a 13 amp BSI362 fuse.

Only ASTA or BSI approved fuses should be used.
