V‑ZUG know-how: FAQ

Yes, you need a V-ZUG-Home login to use the app, or you can log in with your Google or Apple account.

The app runs on Android devices from version 13.0 and iOS devices (Apple) from version 17.0.

Access the user settings of your household appliance and select the V-ZUG-Home function. Depending on the appliance, V-ZUG-Home mode may be found in the settings, or you can consult the V-ZUG-Home manual for appliance-specific instructions.

The DualDry is extremely energy-efficient. In tumble drying mode, it meets the requirements for energy efficiency class A++ and in room air laundry drying, the requirements for energy efficiency class A1.

The appliance automatically detects when descaling is necessary. If the refresh or hygiene programs are used every 2 days, the following descaling intervals will be necessary: Descaling interval depending on water hardness: ▪ Hard: approx. every 3 months ▪ Medium: approx. every 4 months ▪ Soft: approx. every 7 months

Select the following items on the menu of your household appliance:

1. Settings

2. Configure V-ZUG Home

3. Display information

4. IP address

If you are not going to use the appliance for an extended period of time, empty the water tank and open the appliance door.

The appliance has one fluff filter and two filter mats. Since the gentle stream of air and extremely gentle treatment only remove a small amount of fluff from the fabric, the fluff filter only needs to be emptied occasionally. The appliance automatically detects when the fluff filter is heavily clogged. A notification appears in the display when the fluff filter needs cleaning.

Applying steam makes the textile fibres smooth, causing creases to unfold. Clothing is smoothed out using a combination of its own weight and a gentle stream of air.

Very careful drying as drying is without heat and friction, walls kept dry and therefore no formation of mould, quick drying, no hanging in stuffy cellar rooms for days on end, possible to dry anything that can be stored in the room (e.g. tents, carpets, sleeping bags, covers).

No, after successful setup you can use both frequencies. The appliance will remain connected to the 2.4 GHz wi-fi. However, make sure that the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wi-fi are in the same local network, otherwise only remote access is possible. This is the case if both wi-fi networks are running on the same router.

No – the photocatalysis process only removes odours and does not apply odorous or odour-masking substances to the fabric. A cupboard deodoriser can be used to match the scent to your liking.

There may be various reasons for this:

• For security reasons, certain features may only be used on the appliance.

• The feature has not yet been implemented and will be added in a future version.

• For other technical reasons where it is more user friendly to keep the feature on the appliance.

It is currently not possible to start the appliance remotely for security reasons. You must always confirm your selected programs and recipes on the appliances in order to start them. We are developing ways to enable this feature in the future.

Many appliances built from 2015 onwards can be connected to the V-ZUG app. You can also enter your serial number and add your appliance offline in order to register your warranty or view the manual.

V-ZUG-Home mode is active, and the appliance is connected to the WLAN.

V-ZUG offers the appliance hygiene function in AdoraWash Vx000 washing machines. It appears at regular intervals on the appliance. The program cleans the drum interior (while it is empty) at the maximum temperature, eliminating any bacteria that might lead to unpleasant odours.

Our anti-crease programme is yet another highlight of the comprehensive V-ZUG laundry care range. It is designed primarily for blouses, shirts, T-shirts and cotton trousers that are treated for 20 minutes. Put the items on hangers while they are still slightly damp. Iron them lightly if required and they will look as good as new.

When buying glasses, please check to make sure that they are dishwasher-safe. Also note the information provided by the manufacturer of the glasses or ask the sales personnel. Glasses that are marked as dishwasher-safe can be washed with other crockery in the dishwasher without further thought. Higher temperatures are not a problem for such glasses, as they are manufactured to high standards of quality. As part of the daily use of your glasses, we recommend washing them along with your other crockery and cookware using the automatic program.

Theoretically yes. Please discuss this option with your specialist dealer.

If you often clean ladles, wooden spoons, whisks or long meat knives in the dishwasher, we recommend using our Vario cutlery basket insert. The Vario cutlery basket insert is already included as standard in our SL models, but can also be bought as an optional accessory for our models in the N and S lines. The Vario cutlery basket insert can also be retrofitted to older appliances.

Yes. In the user settings, modular detergents can be activated by activating the function. This type of detergent is added to the detergent dispenser drawer on the right.

There can be various reasons for this. The frequency and type of flashing provide information:

• Slow flashing when the screen is switched on (1s on, 1s off): V-ZUG Home mode is active, but there is no wi-fi connection. If the appliance has already been paired and does not reconnect, follow the instructions for “I cannot connect to my appliance.”

• Irregular, short flashes: Data is being transferred to the appliance. This is normal and just indicates activity.

• Rapid flashing when the screen is switched on (1/4s on, 1/4s off): Ready for Bluetooth connection, only active during pairing.

The “Upper rack only”’ function makes a ZUG dishwasher even more flexible and will save 2.6 litres of water, depending on the wash program.

A dishwasher is such a valuable domestic helper that you can hardly imagine life without it. In recent years, dishwasher's water and energy consumption has been significantly reduced. This means that having an appliance clean the dishes is no longer just a time saver. Today, it is also much more economical and better for the environment than doing the dishes by hand. To clean the amount of dishes a ZUG Adora tackles in a single wash cycle, you would consume up to 40 litres of water, while the Adora manages with just 12.

It is unlikely that the combination of “comfort ventilation (target humidity: 30–50%) and DualDry (target humidity: 50–60%)” would cause problems.

No, the two tanks are only for liquid detergent. However, washing with powder is still possible with the AdoraWash V4000 OptiDos, at any time and without technical modification.

There are refrigerators with or without an internal freezer compartment, pure freezers, refrigerator/freezer combinations, and wine coolers. Under-counter refrigerators are fitted underneath worktops in studio apartments or small flats. Conventional refrigerators are integrated into tall cupboards. These are available as fully integrated versions and also in White or Nero. The real colossus of the refrigerator world comes in the form of the FoodCenter, whose features even include an ice maker for ice cubes, crushed ice or iced water, in addition to a gigantic refrigerator compartment. We also offer luxury refrigerators and freezers in the Supreme line, whose sheer space and flexibility make them ideal for stocking up.

Yes, you can use the lower basket glass compartment to put wine glasses in the lower basket. The glass compartment can easily be placed in the lower basket and can hold several wine glasses, drinking glasses and cups. You can order the glass compartment as an accessory set from our online shop.

We recommend the following: Not all dishes are suitable for cleaning in a dishwasher. - Hand-wash items made of wood or plastic that are sensitive to alkalis or heat. - Earthenware tends to crack and splinter. - Glass and porcelain prints are only resistant to a limited extent and may dissolve over time. - Glass can become cloudy depending on the type and the detergent used. Check with your glass supplier whether the glass is dishwasher-safe. - Tension may develop in polished and thick-walled crystal glasses and bowls, which may lead to breakages. - Do not wash dishes with stickers. Dissolved stickers can block the filter system. - Objects made of silver, copper and tin tend to stain brown or black. - Aluminium tends to form stains. Wash aluminium separately or by hand.

An innovative synthetic material improves hygiene by significantly impeding the growth and spread of micro-organisms on the inside walls and door of your fridge.

The patented automatic soft roasting mode guarantees automatic, dynamic control over the food probe temperature. The meat becomes tender, stays juicy and is perfectly cooked. Combined with the new three-point food probe, the meat is prepared to perfection at the push of a button – cooking it to exactly the right level so that it can be served when you want.

Both OptiDos dispensers can each be filled with 1.2 l of liquid detergent or softener. OptiDos calculates the optimum dosing volume according to the selected program and the laundry volume in the drum. No excessive or insufficient dosage ever again!Examples: Slightly soiled laundry, at medium water hardness: manufacturer’s dosing recommendation is 60 ml. This means that you can wash up to 20 times without refilling. Normally soiled laundry, at soft water hardness: manufacturer’s dosing recommendation is 95 ml. Here, up to 12 washes can be done without refilling (the number of washes depends on the dosing recommendation of the detergent, the laundry volume in the drum, water hardness, degree of soiling).

Our new CombiCooler generation offers an innovative ClickShelf rack system, which allows you to adjust the height of your racks easily with one hand and make full use of the width at the front when storing your food.

The external steam generator and the climate sensor ensure that only the required amount of steam can enter the cooking chamber. The steam that condenses on the food accumulates on the base of the cooking chamber as residual water. This residual water depends on the amount of food in the chamber, its temperature and the cooking time. During the cooking process, bottom heating evaporates the residual water. For a normal quantity of vegetables, the residual water on the bottom can usually be removed by wiping with a cloth. Where larger quantities of food, or frozen food, are concerned, the stainless steel tray under the perforated cooking tray helps to collect residual water.

The external steam generator indicates when it should be descaled. This is dependent on water hardness and the level of use. An automated descaling program will guide you through the simple process.

Food freshly stored in the cooling or freezing compartment can be cooled quickly and gently using the fast cool or fast freeze function.

The descale indicator only appears every 6 to 18 months depending on water hardness and level of use. The descale recommendation will not stop you using the appliance – you can continue to use it and choose when you descale it. The automatic descaling program reduces the effort required to a few simple steps.

The optional fully extending runner allows you to remove up to three baking trays safely and conveniently from the baking chamber. This is particularly practical when basting a piece of meat or for removing biscuits or a flan from the baking tray.

All appliances are guaranteed to have low external door temperatures. In the case of normal ovens and steamers, a triple-layer glass door ensures safe operation while cooking. Pyrolytic self-cleaning ovens actually have a four-layer glass door concept. Thanks to the innovative door concept in the Advanced and Excellence Line, the door is ventilated with air from the room, thereby keeping the temperature of the outer door lower than it is for the standard models. What’s more, active appliance door ventilation also enables lower outer door temperatures for pyrolytic self-cleaning appliances.

To avoid wasting water and electricity, the ingenious V-ZUG sensor system ensures that consumption precisely corresponds to the actual amount and type of laundry. This means that, with the economical V-ZUG washing machines, you can easily wash a smaller amount of laundry without wasting precious resources.

The refrigerators can be supplied with White or Nero fronts. It is also possible to attach your own fronting in order to integrate the refrigerator into your kitchen.

Some of our refrigerators feature three different temperature zones. In addition to the freezer compartment and the main refrigerator compartment, the Magnum 2 60i and Cooltronic 60i eco refrigerators, for example, also offer a cold storage compartment with infinitely variable humidity control (0-degree zone), in which food stays fresh up to three times longer. The Noblesse 60i eco and the DeLuxe 60i both feature a bottom compartment complete with bottle drawer (8–12°C) in which food that is sensitive to the cold (such as potatoes) can be stored at a mild temperature and drinks can be kept at a pleasant drinking temperature. These different temperature zones offer the greatest possible flexibility.

The new control knobs offer intuitive, accessible operation with improved tactile and optional acoustic feedback. Supported by VisionAssist, they enable precise and simple control. Their traditional interaction appeals to many users, and they are available in Black, Platinum, and Pearl for flexible kitchen design integration.

The Adora night economy program reduces energy consumption by 40% and water consumption by 20%. You can make use of lower night electricity rates and protect the environment. What's more, the Adora is very quiet.

This adapts the wash program to the degree of soiling. This additional function is typical for V-ZUG appliances and helps you save water, time and energy.

You select a main program by pressing a single button. This means all the required settings are chosen automatically. If desired, you can select additional programs or functions by pressing the corresponding buttons. If no button is pressed within 20 seconds, the program selected will start automatically.

To meet our customer's requirements, our new laundry room appliances now feature a 20°C wash program that can be selected by pressing a dedicated button.

The lifecycle corresponds to the appliance lifecycle. Therefore 4000 batches / 15 years.

Not quite. The Down thick, Down thin, Bed linen and Outdoor programs used very rarely by users have not been adopted. This makes a clearer distinction between the V2000 and the V4000.
