Product Information

Full details

The Zanussi ZDLN2521 is a fully built-in, 60 cm dishwasher designed for households needing efficient and convenient dishwashing. Its key benefit is the AirDry technology, which enhances drying performance by automatically opening the door in the final cycle, leading to up to three times better drying compared to closed-door systems. A potential caveat for some users might be its 'E' energy efficiency rating, which is average for current standards. This dishwasher offers a 13-place setting capacity, multiple wash programs including a quick 30-minute option, and an adjustable QuickLift basket for easier loading.

Can I adjust the height of the baskets?

Yes, the upper basket features the QuickLift system, allowing you to adjust its height easily, even when the basket is fully loaded, to accommodate different dish sizes.

What is the energy efficiency class of this model?

This model has an energy efficiency class of 'E' on a scale of A to G.

Does this dishwasher have a delay start function?

Yes, it is equipped with a delayed start timer, allowing you to set the wash cycle to begin at a later, more convenient time.

What should I do if I see a water leak?

The dishwasher is equipped with an AquaStop function, which automatically detects leaks and shuts off the water supply to prevent damage. If this occurs, disconnect the appliance from the power and water supply and contact customer support.

Troubleshooting

Dishwasher not starting

Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the door is properly closed and latched. Verify that the circuit breaker or fuse for the dishwasher is not tripped.

Dishes not clean

Ensure the dishwasher is not overloaded. Check that the spray arms can rotate freely and are not blocked by dishes. Clean the filters and ensure detergent is being dispensed correctly. Select an appropriate wash program for the level of soiling.

Dishes not drying properly

Confirm that the AirDry function is enabled. Ensure rinse aid is topped up, as this aids drying. Check that the load does not prevent the door from opening fully at the end of the cycle.

Unusual noise during operation

Check that dishes are loaded securely and not rattling against each other or the spray arms. Ensure the spray arms are not hitting any items. Foreign objects in the filter or pump area can also cause noise; check and clean if necessary.

Water not draining

Check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Ensure the household drain into which the hose is connected is not blocked. Clean the dishwasher's filters, as a clogged filter can impede drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure you have a standard 60 cm width space available, with installation compartment dimensions of 82-90 cm height, 60 cm width, and a minimum depth of 55 cm. The appliance connects to a standard 220-240 V AC power supply with a 10 A current and 1950 W connected load. Water inlet and outlet hoses are 1.5 m long, and the power cord is also 1.5 m.

Compatibility: This model accepts both cold and hot water fills. It is designed to work with standard household plumbing. The control panel is integrated into the unit, and it features a sliding door hinge mechanism, which might require specific cabinet door mounting considerations.

Care: Regular maintenance is key to optimal performance.

  1. Cleaning the Filters: Periodically remove and clean the filters located at the bottom of the dishwasher to prevent blockages and maintain washing efficiency. Rinse them under running water.
  2. MachineCare Programme: Use the dedicated MachineCare cycle with a suitable dishwasher cleaner (sold separately) every few months to remove internal grease and limescale buildup, ensuring the longevity and performance of the appliance.
  3. Salt and Rinse Aid: Ensure the salt and rinse aid compartments are regularly topped up. Indicator lights will alert you when levels are low, which is crucial for preventing spots and streaks on glassware and ensuring effective drying.
