Using Your Machine - Zanussi DS 20 TCR/A Instructions For The Use And Care

Using your machine
Open the machine by pulling the handle
outwards.
To close the door push it back until you
feel it clicks.
Water Softening
The dishwasher has a completely
automatic water softener fitted to it and
you only need to refill salt container with
coarse salt after approximately 40
washes.
The water softener stops limescale and
mineral salts from entering the wash
water thus preventing whitish marks
appearing on the crockery.
Softened water improves the cleaning
action and, after rinsing, the crockery
and glassware should look clean and
shining.
Filling the Salt Container
Prior to using the dishwasher for the
first time it is necessary to fill the salt
container with water in order that the
initial loading of salt is dissolved.
To do this open the door and slide out the
bottom basket. Unscrew the cap in the
base of the dishwasher (fig. 8) and, using
the funnel supplied fill the salt container
with water. Next (again using funnel)
pour into the same container 1 Kg (2 lb)
of coarse salt.
Replace the cap making sure that there is
no trace of salt on the thread of the screw
or on the gasket. Screw the cap on tightly.
Use only coarse salt (which is often
available from garden centres) or salt sold
specifically for dishwashers.
Always refill the container immediately
before starting a complete wash cycle,
(not before Rinse and Hold) so that any
salt granules or salt water which may flow
out of the container (which will always
have some water in it) during the refilling
will not remain on the bottom of the tub
without being properly diluted.
Salt Refill Indicator
This model features a refill indicator on
the control panel. When it lights up,
which will be approximately every 40
washes, the water softener needs refilling
with salt.
