Care And Cleaning - Zanussi ZDF26011XA Notice D'utilisation

The water 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. It is important to set the right
level of the water softener to assure good washing
results.
USING SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can cause damage
to the appliance.
• Multi-tablets are usually suitable in areas with a
water hardness up to 21 °dH. In areas
exceeding this limit, rinse aid and salt must be
used in addition to the multi-tablets. However, in
areas with hard and very hard water we
recommend to use solo-detergent (powder, gel,
tablets without additional functions), rinse aid
and salt separately for optimal cleaning and
drying results.
• If you use multi-tablets you can select the
Multitab option (if available). This option
increases the cleaning and drying results with
the use of multi-tablets.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short
programmes. To prevent detergent residues 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.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU WANT TO STOP USING
MULTI-TABLETS
Before you start to use separately detergent, salt
and rinse aid do the following procedure.
1. Set the highest level of the water softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers
are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a rinsing
phase. Do not add detergent and do not load
the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed, adjust the
water softener according to the water hardness
in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.
