Before using your dish asher for the first
time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply
with the installation instructions.
2. Remove all pac aging from inside the appliance.
3. Set the water softener.
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and
then fill with salt.
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Setting the ater softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed
to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which
would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation
of the appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water
is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clar e,
French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness
of the water in your area. Your local Water Authority can
advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should
be adjusted.
To adjust the ater softener
Level 1
If your water is "level 1" it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
Levels 3 and 5 (water softener adjustment)
If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows:
- slide out the lower bas et and unscrew the cap of
the salt container;
- turn the two-position selector anticloc wise from
position -to position +with the aid of a blunt nife or
screwdriver.
Levels 4 and 5 (adjustment on the machine)
If your water is level 4 or 5, open the door and drill
membrane (A) on the upper left-hand corner of the machine.
With a ater hardness of level 5 both adjustments must
be made.

Filling ith salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use
in dish ashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed
for use in a dish asher, especially table salt, ill
damage the ater softener.
Only fill ith salt just before starting one of
the complete ashing programmes (not the
Rinse and Hold programme). This ill prevent
any grains of salt or salty ater, hich may have
been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, hich may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the cap of the salt container.
2. Pour 1 litre of ater inside the container
(this is necessary only before filling ith salt for
the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the
container is full.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when
filling with salt, this is quite normal.
4. Replace the cap ma ing sure that there is no trace of salt
on the screw thread or on the gas et.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre.
Agreen float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the
container, and almost disappears when the salt has finished
reminding you to add salt.

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse,
ensuring thorough rinsing, and spot and strea free drying.
The dispenser, which is positioned inside the door, holds
about 110 ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40
dishwashing programmes, depending upon the dosage
setting.
Filling ith rinse aid
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A)
anticloc wise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely
full. The indicator (B) will be completely dar .
3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B)
becomes clear.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid compartment.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent
cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust
the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (C)
(position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots
on the dishes after washing. Reduce it if there are stic y
whitish strea s on the dishes.

Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
the performance.
Do not load very small items hich can fall
through the baskets.
Open the door and slide out the bas ets to load the dishes.
The lo er basket
The lower bas et is designed to ta e saucepans, lids,
plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the bas et, ensuring that the upper spray arm can
turn freely.
The cutlery basket
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 upper basket.
Take care hen loading or unloading sharp
items such as knives.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery bas et
with the handles facing downwards.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the bas et,
obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the
handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from stic ing
together.
Silver cutlery tends to go blac if mixed with steel cutlery.
Place it in the cutlery bas et separate from the others.
Arrange spoons, dessert spoons, nives and other small
items of cutlery in the rac on the side of the cutlery bas et.

The upper basket
The upper bas et is designed for plates (dessert plates,
saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cups and glasses.
Larger plates (dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter) must
be loaded in the front part of the upper bas et.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup rac so that water
can reach all surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the
raised cup rac s.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper
bas et and arranged so they do not move.
Before closing the door, ensure that the
spray arms can rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper
basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower bas et after
moving the upper bas et to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as follo s:
1. Move the front runner stops (A) of the upper bas et
outward and slide the bas et out.
2. Refit the bas et in the higher position and replace
the stops (A) in their original position.
When the top basket is in the higher
position it ill only take plates up to 20 cm
in diameter and you ill not be able to use
the raised cup racks.
After loading your machine al ays close
the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed
for use in dish ashers.
We recommend the use of Finish detergents which are
available in the following options:
Finish Double Action Tablets. Each tablet has the exact
amount of detergent required, simply place in the dispenser.
Finish Po der recommended for every day use.
Finish Liquid Gel ideal for every day use. As the gel is
extra gentle it is recommended for fine bone china.
If using po der detergents proceed as follo s:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the recommended
quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart.
As all detergents are not the same, you should also
consult the instructions on the pac et.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add a little amount of
detergent over the lid of the dispense, according to the
recommended quantity given in the "Washing
programmes" chart.
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follo s:
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent
dispenser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all programmes with prewash; place a portion of a
further tablet on the lid of the detergent dispenser.
Insufficient quantities of detergent ill
produce poor ashing results, hereas an
excessive amount of detergent ill not
improve ashing results and is also
asteful.
Using no more than the correct amount also
contributes to reducing pollution.
Compact detergents ith enzymes
In these low-al aline compact powders the environmentally
unfriendly components have been replaced by natural
enzymes and other more biodegradable substances.
These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free.
