Before installing and first using the dishwasher, read the instruction booklet carefully, including
its hints and warnings. Doing so will ensure that your machine will perform properly and to best
advantage. Anyone using the machine should be thoroughly familiar with its instructions for use
and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the machine if it is
moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance
use and safety.
Installation
All installation work and other work done on the product
must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work
performed by persons with inadequate know ledge
may adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of

Avoid opening the door while the machine is running.
If you take any dishes out of the machine before the
end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important
to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove
any remaining detergent.
Only use detergent specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are
a potential hazard.
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving
knives must be positioned horizontally in the basket.
When finishing loading or unloading close the door,
as an open door can be a hazard.
Make sure that the machine is disconnected from the
power supply during cleaning and maintenance work.
After using the machine, turn off its water supply and
disconnect it from the power supply. When removing
the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the lead.
Servicing and repairs must be carried out by a service

Rinse aid dispenser
Use of rinse aid will result in faster drying of the load and
gives the dishes a shiny finish. It may be necessary to adjust
the quantity of rinse aid dispensed if you live in either a very
hard water or a very soft water area. More is needed for
hard water and less for soft water. Leave the dispenser in
its preset position when you first use the dishwasher and
only adjust if, after a few cycles, you notice the following:
• Crockery remaining dull looking and/or showing
occasional round spots. If this happens, increase the
quantity of rinse aid by turning the red dial below the
filter trough clockwise.
• Crockery feeling sticky or showing whitish spots. If this
happens, decrease the quantity of rinse aid by turning
the red dial below the filler trough anti-clockwise.
The dispenser holds about 140 ml. This is enough for 40-
70 wash cycles, depending on the dosage setting. When
the rinse aid level is approaching the bottom of the scale it
is time to refill the dispenser. Swivel out the filler trough and
carefully fill up with rinse aid until the level reaches up to the
red mark on the level indicator tube. Do not overfill and
carefully wipe off any spillage to prevent sudsing problems.
Don’t forget to close the filler trough afterwards.
Do not fill the rinse aid dispenser with liquid
detergent.
Spray arm
It is important to keep all the holes in the spray arm clear.
If the spray arm becomes blocked this will affect washing
efficiency. If the spray arm needs cleaning, unscrew the
nut clockwise (left-hand thread) and lift off the spray arm.
Clear the holes and shake out any food particles.
Coarse strainer
The purpose of the coarse strainer is to catch large objects,
such as toothpicks and pieces of eggshell. Make sure that
the strainer is always clean. Lift it out and rinse it under
running water whenever necessary.
Fine filter
It is just as important to keep this filter clean. A dirty or
clogged filter will impair washing efficiency. The fine filter
can easily be lifted out for cleaning when you have removed
the coarse strainer.
Detergent dispenser
Only use detergents specially designed for dishwashers.
Open the detergent compartment on the inside of the door
by pushing the lid catch sideways. Pour the detergent into
the compartment, for a normal load pour about 15g.
Close the lid firmly. The detergent will be automatically
dispensed at the right time. Pre-wash detergent is not
generally needed, but if the dishes ar heavily soiled add
an extra 5g anywhere on the inside of the door.
Since not all detergents are the same, you should also
consult the instructions on the packet. Using the correct
amount of detergent also contributes to reducing pollution.
Zanussi recommends the use of Finish dish-
washer detergent and Rinse Aid.
Water softener
This dishwasher is equipped with a water softener for hard
(chalky) water, therefore the rinse aid dispenser should
be set for a low dosage.
The lime (chalk) in hard water causes white deposits to
occur on dishes and the interior of the dishwasher.
To prevent this, the water has to pass through a special
container where its hardness is removed. Since the water
softener consumes coarse dishwasher salt, you will have
to replenish the salt container after a certain number of
dishwashing cycles. When the indicator lamp on the
control panel lights up, it is time to fill up with salt.
Proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the salt container filler cap.
2. Fill up salt container with water (only the first
time).
3. Fill the container with coarse salt. Use the funnel
supplied with the machine.
Ordinary domestic salt will affect the effiency of
the water softener and damage it.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe off any spillage.
5. Screw the filler cap back in place.
The salt container holds about 1 litre, which is enough for
about 20 - 30 dishwashing cycles. Always ensure that
there is water in the salt container before filling salt.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the
complete washing programmes. This will prevent
any grains of salt or salty water, which may have
been spilled, remaining in the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, this could cause
corrosion.
Water softener plug
As supplied from the factory,
the water softener is set for
a water hardness of up to
20°dH. If your water is harder
than this, you can increase
the capacity of the water
softener by pulling out the
rubber plug at the rear of the
dishwasher on the left hand
side viewed from the back.
See illustration.
Contact your local Water Authority to find the exact water
hardness level for your area.
Never run the dishwasher without salt in the container as
this may damage the water softener. If the damage is slight,
the water-softener function can be partially restored by
filling the container with salt and then running the Normal
cycle 4-5 times.

Programmes
Rinse & Hold is used if you want to wait until you have
a full load. This cycle rinses the load and keeps it moist,
making the main wash easier later on.
No detergent should be used. It does not matter which
temperature you select.
Intensive for loads which have heavily dried-on food
remnants and for those which are heavily soiled.
Normal for normal soiled loads. Replaces the pre wash
with one rinse without heating.
Economy is used for lightly soiled loads which do not
need any rinse off, such as cups, saucers and glasses.
Using your appliance

dispenser and cloce the dispenser lid.
If the dishes are heavily soiled add an extra
5 g anywhere on the inside of the door.
3. Close the door.
4. Select a suitable programme.
5. Select the required temperature and eventually
the option for extra drying. The programme gets
started when the On/Off button is pressed in.
6. Check the strainers to see whether they need

How to load the dishwasher
- 8 -
The illustration to next page shows the machine loaded
with five standard place settings. Your own dishes are
not likely to be identical to this load, but if you follow the
advice below we are sure you will be pleased with the
results.
• Always place glasses, cups and bowls upside down.
• Incline deep dishes (soup plates etc.) so that the
water can run off when drying.
• Make sure that the dishes do not rest against each
other. This is particularly important in regard to the
cutlery basket - nested spoons, etc. simply cannot be
properly washed. MAKE SURE THAT THE WATER
CAN GET AT ALL THE SOILED SURFACES.
• Make sure that cutlery with slender handles and other
items do not protrude through the openings in the
basket and prevent the spray arm from rotating.
• Never put silver and stainless steel objects together.
When these metals come into contact with each other
a chemical reaction occurs which stains the silver.
• China with a pattern applied on top of the glaze may
not be suitable for machine washing as the colours
may fade and lose their lustre. The same applies to
cutlery with wooden or plastic handles.
Always buy articles that are machine washable
in future.
• Not all plastic articles are machine washable. If you
are in doubt as to whether your plastic-ware can be
washed in the machine, we suggest you check by
washing a single item or else wash them by hand.
• Aluminium becomes dull and tarnished when machine
washed. The machine gets it clean, but at the expense
of its appearance.
• When washing delicate items, select the lower wash
temperature.
• Substances such as ketchup containing strong
colouring agents can cause temporary discoloration
in the machine.

Important
Make sure that the machine is unplugged and the water
turned off before undertaking any kind of maintenance.
General cleaning
Inspect the filters and spray arm nozzle before re-loading
the machine and remove any food scraps. Wipe round
the rubber gasket at the bottom of the door to remove
grease which tends to collect there.
Cleaning the filters
There are two filters, a coarse one and a fine one which
should be cleaned after every wash. Lift out these filters
which are in the base of the dishwasher and wash under
running water.
The dishwasher must not be used without the
filters. Incorrect repositioning of the filters will
produce poor washing results.
Cleaning of the filters is vital to ensure correct
operation of the machine.
Cleaning the spray arm nozzle
The holes in the spray arm nozzle must be kept free of
scraps for the efficiency of the washing action.
Inspect the spray arm regularly. When thorough cleaning
is necessary, remove the spray arm by unscrewing the
nut clockwise (it has a left-handed thread) and lift off the
spray arm.
Wash the spray arm with hot soapy water using a stiff
saucepan brush if necessary to remove scraps.
Re-assemble carefully, making sure the nut is secure.
Cleaning the cabinet
Wipe the outside of the cabinet and control panel regularly
with a soft damp cloth. When necessary, use liquid kitchen
or household cleaner to remove stubborn marks, rinse with
a damp cloth and rub up with a soft duster.
Never use abrasive cleaners which could damage the
surface, ie: scouring pads or solvents (acetone, trichlori-
ethylene, etc).
If the machine is not going to be used for some time, take
the folllowing precautions:
1. Unplug the machine and turn off the water supply.
2. Fill up the rinse aid container.
3. Make sure the tub is clean by carrying out a wash
programme (without any crockery) using Finish
Dishwasher cleaner, then dry the inside thoroughly.
4. Leave the door ajar.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (you are moving
house, etc):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn off the water tap.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
Avoid tilting the machine during transportation.
Protecting the machine against freezing
If the machine is kept in a place where the temperature
may sometimes fall below 0°C, there is a risk that the
small amount of water which remains inside parts of the
machine after normal use will freeze and damage it.
To prevent this you should:
1. Turn off the water supply to the machine and
disconnect the water intake hose from the
supply pipe.
2. Select a wash programme, start the machine
and let the programme run for a short time.

Installation
The dishwasher is intended for installation on a
kitchen sink or worktop. It is important to ensure
the dishwasher is level to avoid any difficulty
opening and closing the door. Its height can be
adjusted with the adjustable feet (8 mm each) in
each corner of the dishwasher.
Water inlet
The dishwasher should be permanently plumbed
into a separate cold water supply.
The water pressure must be within the limits given
in the technical specifications, as it will not function
correctly if pressure is outside these specifications.
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the
average mains pressure in your area. Where the
water is supplied from a cold water cistern you can
work out the pressure yourself by measuring the
vertical distance (or ‘Head’) between the machine’s
inlet hose and the outlet from the cold water storage
cistern; allowing .86 psi for every 2 feet under normal
conditions.
We would advise you to have a shut-off valve or
stopcock in the water supply pipe close to the dish-
washer and accessible for easy use. This should
be turned off when the appliance is not in use.
Insert the combination rubber washer/filter and
connect the inlet hose to a tap with a 3/4” pipe
thread.
The inlet hose (1) must not be joined onto any form
of extension hose. If it is too short, the entire hose
must be replaced with a longer high-pressure hose,
specially designed for the purpose.
The machine end of this hose can be turned in any
direction. Loosen the retaining nut, turn the hose,
then retighten the nut.

Water drainage
The grey discharge hose should be permanently
plumbed in. If this is not possible, it can be placed
in the sink to drain. Don’t forget that the water will
come out with some force, so position the pipe so
that the force of the water will not push the hose out
of the sink, use the elbow supplied which should be
fitted over the pipe to support it. Ensure the sink
outlet is not blocked.
Connect the discharge hose to the pipe stub at the
rear of the dishwasher, using the hose clip supplied.
It is important to push the discharge hose (2) onto
the pipe stub as far as it will go and tighten the hose
clip (3) as hard as possible. Make sure that the hose
clip is pushed as far towards the cabinet as possible
in order that it is covering both pipes completely.
The discharge hose must not at any point rise higher
than the top of the dishwasher. If it runs higher, ope-
ration of the dishwasher might be impaired. It is also
important to ensure that the inside diameter of the
hose is not less than 13 mm at any point.
If the discharge hose is too long it can easily be cut
to the right length.
1. Cut the hose to a suitable length, using a
sharp knife.
2. Fit the elbow supplied onto the end of the
hose.
Do not extend the hose under any circumstances as
this could affect the operation of the dishwasher.
Power supply
The dishwasher is supplied with a lead and electrical
plug for connection to a 230 V, 13 A earthed wall
socket. Before any work is carried out on the machine,
it must be isolated from the electric mains supply, for
example by removing the plug from the wall socket.
Permanent electrical installation must be
carried out by an authorised electrician.

User manual

Zanussi DCS14W is a dishwasher designed to wash household utensils suitable for machine washing. It comes with a water softener for hard water through a special container where its hardness is removed. The rinse aid dispenser helps with faster drying of the load and gives the dishes a shiny finish and can be adjusted depending on the water hardness in your area. The fine filter is easy to take out for cleaning and is important to keep clean for good washing efficiency. Additionally, there’s a coarse strainer that catches larger objects to keep the machine clean.
