Overview

This document is a user manual for a Zanussi dishwasher, model ZDS12001WA, designed to help users get started easily with their appliance. It covers general safety, installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Function Description

The Zanussi ZDS12001WA is a household dishwasher designed to clean crockery, cutlery, pots, and pans. It operates by spraying water and detergent onto dishes, followed by rinsing and drying cycles. The appliance features a water softener system to remove minerals from the water supply, which helps improve washing results and protect the appliance from limescale buildup. It also includes a rinse aid dispenser to ensure dishes dry without streaks or stains. The dishwasher offers various programmes tailored to different degrees of soil and types of load, including an ECO programme for efficient water and energy consumption, a quick programme for lightly soiled items, and a prewash option.

Usage Features

The dishwasher is designed for ease of use with a straightforward control panel.

  • Programme Selection: Users can select programmes using a programme knob, with indicators for different wash cycles (e.g., 70°, 65°, ECO 50°, 65° 30′).
  • Start/Stop: A dedicated start button initiates the selected programme.
  • Delay Start: The appliance offers a delay start option, allowing users to postpone the start of a programme by 3 hours. This can be useful for taking advantage of off-peak electricity tariffs.
  • Indicators: The control panel includes indicators for on/off status, programme progress (end indicator), salt level, and rinse aid level. The salt and rinse aid indicators are off while a programme operates.
  • Loading: Dishes should be loaded carefully, ensuring hollow items are placed face down and items do not touch or cover each other, allowing the spray arms to reach all surfaces. Knives and sharp cutlery should be placed points down or horizontally in the cutlery basket for safety.
  • Detergent, Salt, and Rinse Aid: The appliance requires special dishwasher salt, rinse aid, and detergent. Compartments are provided for each. The manual advises filling the salt container with water before adding salt for the first time and running a programme afterward to prevent corrosion. For multi-tablets, users are advised not to fill the salt and rinse aid dispensers and to adjust the water softener and rinse aid dispenser to their lowest positions.
  • Water Hardness Adjustment: The water softener level can be adjusted based on the local water hardness, which is crucial for optimal washing results. The manual provides a water hardness table and instructions on how to adjust this setting using the programme knob and delay button.
  • Opening the Door During Operation: If the door is opened while a programme is running, the appliance pauses and resumes from the point of interruption once the door is closed.
  • Programme End: At the end of a programme, an indicator light comes on. If the appliance is not deactivated within 5 minutes, all indicators turn off to save energy. Users should turn the programme knob to the off position and close the water tap.
  • Unloading: It is recommended to let tableware cool down before removing it, starting with the lower basket, to prevent damage to hot items.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is essential for the dishwasher's performance and longevity.

  • Cleaning the Filters: The manual provides detailed instructions for cleaning the filters (A, B, and C) located in the sump. Users need to remove the filters, clean them of food residues, and reassemble them correctly. Incorrect filter positioning can lead to poor washing results and appliance damage.
  • Cleaning the Spray Arms: If the holes in the spray arms become clogged with soil, users can remove the residues with a thin pointed object. The spray arms themselves do not need to be removed for cleaning.
  • External Cleaning: The exterior of the appliance should be cleaned with a moist, soft cloth and neutral detergents. Abrasive products, cleaning pads, or solvents should not be used.
  • Internal Cleaning: The interior, including the rubber gasket of the door, should be cleaned with a soft, moist cloth. To prevent grease and limescale deposits, especially with frequent short programmes, it is recommended to run long duration programmes at least twice a month.
  • Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting table to help users identify and resolve common issues, such as the appliance not starting, not filling with water, or not draining. It also addresses issues related to unsatisfactory washing and drying results, offering solutions like adjusting rinse aid quantity or checking detergent levels. For more complex issues or alarm codes not listed, users are advised to contact the Authorised Service Centre.
  • Stopping Multi-Tablet Use: If users decide to stop using multi-tablets and switch back to separate detergent, salt, and rinse aid, specific steps are outlined to re-adjust the water softener and rinse aid dispenser and ensure the salt and rinse aid containers are full.
