Zanussi DA 4142 - Manual (Page 13)

Internal cleaning
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend the use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner every
3 months or run a 65°C wash without dishes using detergent.
Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner cleans
inaccessible parts, eliminates unpleasant food odours and
helps prevent the build-up of limescale.
Cleaning the filters
The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to
large extent self-cleaning. Nevertheless the filters should be
checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will
degrade the washing result.
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse/fine
filter, microfilter and a flat filter.
Unlock the filter system using a handle on the microfilter,
and remove.
3. Turn the handle about 1 /
4
a turn
anticlockwise and remove.
4. Take hold of the coarse/fine
filter (A - 1/2) (B - 1) by the
handle with the hole and
remove from the microfilter
(A - 3) (B - 2).
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.
6. Remove the flat filter (A - 4) (B - 3) from the base of
the washing compartment and clean both faces
thoroughly.
7. Put the flat filter back in the base of the washing
compartment.
8. Place the coarse/fine filter in the microfilter and press
together.
9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning
the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process
ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the
base of the washing compartment.
The dishwasher must not be used without filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will
produce poor washing results.
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of
the machine.
External cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel
with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral
detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are
advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any
unpleasant smells.
4. 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, empty the machine, close
the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.
