Frequently Asked Questions - ZDF511 Zanussi-Electrolux

How do I install the ZDF511 dishwasher?
Ensure the dishwasher is placed on a level surface. Connect the water inlet hose to a cold water supply (max 60°C) with a 3/4 inch thread. Connect the drain hose to a suitable drain point (min height 40 cm, max 100 cm). Plug into a grounded outlet. Level the appliance by adjusting the feet.
What programs are available on the ZDF511?
The ZDF511 offers 5 programs: Eco (energy-saving, 50°C), Intensive (70°C for heavily soiled pots), Normal (65°C for everyday loads), Quick (30 min, 50°C for light soil), and Rinse (cold rinse to prevent odours).
How do I clean the filter of my ZDF511?
Turn off the dishwasher and remove the lower rack. Rotate the coarse filter (C) anticlockwise to unlock and lift it out. Rinse both the coarse and microfilter (flat filter) under running water. Reassemble in reverse order. Clean every month.
The ZDF511 is not starting. What should I do?
Check that the door is properly closed and latched. Ensure the appliance is plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. Confirm that the water supply is open. If the start button is flashing, a previous cycle may have been interrupted. Reset by pressing and holding the start button for 3 seconds.
How do I adjust the water softener on the ZDF511?
Locate the water softener setting under the salt cap (usually inside the door). Turn the dial to match your water hardness level (from 1 to 5, where 5 is very hard). Default is 3. Consult the manual for your local water hardness.
What error code does the ZDF511 show?
Common error codes: E1 (water supply issue), E2 (drain problem), E3 (heating fault), E4 (overflow). To reset, turn off the dishwasher for 10 seconds and restart. If persistent, call service.
Why is my ZDF511 leaking water?
Check the door seal for damage. Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or improperly connected. Also inspect the water inlet connections. Tighten if loose. Leaks may occur if the appliance is not level.
How do I use the delay start feature?
Press the Delay Start button repeatedly to set the delay time (1-24 hours). The display will show the selected delay. Then press Start to begin the countdown. The dishwasher will start automatically after the delay.
Can I open the dishwasher mid-cycle?

1) Ideal for washing a partially loaded dishwasher. This is perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery.

2) Test programme for test institutes.

"Auto" washing programme

During the "Auto" washing programme the amount of soil on the dishes is determined by how cloudy the water is.

If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled, the "prewash", "main

wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme are shorter and the water consumption level is lower.

If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled, the "prewash", "main wash", and "rinse" phases of the programme are longer and the water consumption level is higher.

For this reason the programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary within the stated range for "Auto" programme (see "Washing programmes chart").

During the "Auto" programme the temperature of the main wash water is also automatically adjusted between 50°C and 65°C depending on the amount of soil on the dishes.

First use

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

  • Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions
  • Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
  • Set the water softener
  • Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with dishwasher salt

- Fill the rinse aid dispenser

If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as: "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the 3 in 1 function (see "3 in 1 function").

Set 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 minerals and salts, the harder your water is.

Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH)

and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the hardness of water).

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.

Loading cutlery and dishes

Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.

• Before loading the dishes, you should:

- Remove all left over food and debris.

- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans

- When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

- Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.

- Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.

- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.

- To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.

– Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

- Plastic items and pans with non stick coatings have a tendency to retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.

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

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery and dishes are not suitable: are of limited suitability:

  • Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearls handles.
  • Plastic items that are not heat resistant.
  • Older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant.
    • Bonded cutlery items or dishes.
  • Pewter or copper items.
  • Lead crystal glass.
    • Steel items prone to rusting.

Cleaning the spray arms

NEVER try to remove the spray arms.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them with a cocktail stick.

External 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 the wash programme for heavy soiled dishes using detergent but without dishes.

Prolonged periods of non-operation

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

  1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
  2. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any unpleasant smells.
  3. 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

Ensure that the hoses are not kinked, crushed or entangled.

A

When connecting the drain hose to an under sink trap spigot, the entire plastic membrane (A) must be removed. Failure to remove all the membrane will result in food particles building up over time eventually blocking the dishwasher drain hose spigot.

If you use a drain hose extension the total length should not be longer than 4 metres. 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.

Electrical connection
