Zanussi ZT 6810 Instruction Booklet - To Save Energy

To save energy

Place dishes in the machine immediately after every

meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before

washing.

If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see

"Washing Programmes" chart on the following page),

so that any food scraps do not become caked on the

dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash

programme.

Do not prewash dishes under running water.

Select an economic programme when dishes are not

very soiled, following the instructions given in the

"Washing programmes" chart.

Select the "economy dry" or the "no dry" options.

For best washing results:

Before loading remove all scraps of food and soak

very heavily soiled pots and pans. 

Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-

down. 

Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the

water drains off easily. 

Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.

You will improve drying results by leaving the

dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as

soon as the programme finishes. 

Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this

way they will be cooler and the drying will be

improved. 

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one;

this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket

onto the dishes in the lower one.

Items not suitable for

dishwashers:

The following items should not be

washed in the dishwasher (unless they

are sold as dishwasher proof): 

-

Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or 

glued parts

-

bronze cutlery

-

saucepans with wooden handles

-

aluminium ware

-

crystal ware

-

leaded glass

-

plastic items

Certain types of decoration can discolour when

washed in a dishwasher.

Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed

dishwasher proof should be washed by hand.

Certain types of glass can also become opaque 

after being washed several times in a dishwasher.

A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery

and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not

wash together.

Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other

items.

Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter

and brass tend to stain.

If in doubt check with manufacturer

of the item.

When buying new dishes, ensure

that they are dishwasher proof.
