Care And Cleaning - Zanussi ZDT16003FA User Manual

• The rinse aid helps, during the last rinsing
phase, to dry the dishes without streaks and
stains.
• Combi detergent tablets contain detergent,
rinse aid and other added agents. Be sure
that these tablets are applicable to the water
hardness in your area. Refer to the instruc-
tions on the packaging of the products.
If you want to use these tablets out of the ap-
plicable water hardness, you must also use
dishwasher salt. First activate the multitab
option, then adjust the water softener to the
water hardness in your area and use dish-
washer salt.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with
short programmes. To prevent detergent res-
idues on the tableware, we recommend that
you use the tablets with long programmes.
Do not use more than the correct quantity
of detergent. Refer to the instructions on
the detergent packaging.
Loading the baskets
Refer to the supplied leaflet with examples
of the load of the baskets.
• Only use the appliance to wash items that
are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items made of
wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that can
absorb water (sponges, household cloths).

Care and cleaning

Warning! Before maintenance, deactivate
the appliance and disconnect the mains
plug from the mains socket.
Dirty filters and clogged spray arms de-
crease the washing results.
Make a check regularly and, if necessary, clean
them.
