Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections com ly
with the installation instructions
2. Remove all ackaging from inside the a liance
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 dis enser
Setting the water softener
The dishwasher is equi ed with a water softener designed to
remove minerals and salts from the water su ly, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the o eration of the
a liance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke
degrees, French degrees and PPM ( arts er 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 water 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,
roceed as follows:
- slide out the lower basket
and unscrew the ca of the
salt container;
- turn the two- osition
selector anticlockwise from
osition - to osition + with
the aid of a blunt knife or
screwdriver.
Levels 4 and 5
(adjustment on the machine)
If your water is level 4 or 5,
o en the door and drill the
membrane (A) on the u er
left-hand corner of the
machine.
With a water hardness of
level 5 both adjustments
must be made.
Filling with salt
Special salt can be added in one of two ways:
●If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains
salt, the detergent including the salt is laced in the
detergent com artment.
- In this case the water softener must be set to level 1 to
ensure that the s ecial salt is taken from the detergent
container only.
●If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt se arately,
the s ecial salt is to be ut into the salt container.
- In this case the water softener must manually be set
between 2 and 5 (de ending on the water hardness in
your area) to ensure that the s ecial salt is taken from
the detergent container only.
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
a dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the washing
programmes (not the Rinse and old programme).
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. O en the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the
ca of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary
only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel rovided,
our in the salt until the
container is full.
4. Re lace the ca making
sure that there is no trace
of salt on the screw thread
or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the ca tightly
turning it clockwise until it
sto s with a click.
The salt container will require to ing u eriodically.
The salt ca has a refill indicator window in the centre.
Agreen float is clearly
visible when there is salt
inside the container and
almost disa ears when the
salt has finished reminding
you to add salt.
Do not worry if water over
flows from the unit when
filling with salt, this is quite
normal.

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and s ot and streak free drying. The
dis enser, which is ositioned inside the door, holds about 110
ml of rinse aid, which is sufficient for 16 - 40 dishwashing
rogrammes, de ending u on the dosage setting.
Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways:
●If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains
rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is laced in
the detergent com artment.
- In this case the rinse aid com artment must be em ty.
If in the rinse aid dis enser there is still rinse aid you
must wait until it has finished before using detergent that
contains rinse aid.
●If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid
se arately, the rinse aid is to be ut into the rinse aid
dis enser.
- In this case the rinse aid dosage must be set in osition
from 1 to 6 (see "Adjusting the dose").
Filling with rinse aid
1. O en the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is com letely full. The
indicator (B) will be com letely dark.
3. To u the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Clean u any rinse aid s ilt during filling with an absorbent
cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
Use only branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse
aid dis enser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher
cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the
a liance.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the
dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 osition selector (C)
( osition 1 minimum dosage, osition 6 maximum dosage).
Increase the dose if there are dro s of water or lime s ots on
the dishes after washing.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.

O en the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take sauce ans, lids, lates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the u er s ray 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 when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
Cutlery should be laced in the removable cutlery basket with
the handles facing downwards. If the handles rotrude from
the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower s ray arm, load
the cutlery with the handles facing u wards.
Mix s oons with other cutlery
to revent them from sticking
together.
Arrange s oons, dessert
s oons, knives and other
small items of cutlery in the
rack on the side of the
cutlery basket.
The upper basket
The u er basket is designed for lates (dessert lates,
saucers, dinner lates of u to 24 cm in diameter), salad
bowls, cu s and glasses.
Arrange items on and underneath the cu rack so that water
can reach all surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can
be laced u side down in the
cu rack.
Light items ( lastic bowls
etc.) must be loaded in the
u er basket and arranged
so they do not move.
When loading the upper
basket, ensure that you do
not cover the water inlet
funnel in the middle of the
upper basket.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes
are of limited suitability:
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is s ecifically
marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
- Glazed atterns may fade if machine washed frequently
- Silver and aluminium arts have a tendency to discolour
during washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and
mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver.
Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if
it is not to be washed straight after use.
- Some ty es of glass can become dull after a large number
of washes
are not suitable:
- Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or
mother-of- earl handles
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant
- Older cutlery with glued arts that is not
tem erature resistant
- Bonded cutlery items or dishes
- Pewter or co er items
- Lead crystal glass
- Steel items subject to rusting
- Wooden latters
- Items made from synthetic fibres

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large lates (over 27 cm and u to 31 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving
the u er basket to the higher osition.
To move to the higher position proceed as
follows:
1. Move the front runner
sto s (A) of the u er
basket outwards and
slide the basket out.
2. Refit the basket in the
higher osition and
re lace the sto s (A) in
their original osition.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.
Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
Using no more then the correct amount of detergent
contributes to reducing pollution.
Fill with detergent
Prior to the start of a wash rogramme. The detergent is
released during the washing hase.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage
recommendations as stated on the detergent ackaging.
1. O en the dis enser lid by ulling the catch (D).
The lid s rings o en.
2. Fill the detergent
dis enser with detergent.
The marking indicates
the dosing levels:
MIN = a roximately
15 g of detergent
MAX = a roximately
30 g of detergent
3. Close the lid and ress
until it locks in lace.
For all rogrammes with
rewash, an additional
detergent dose (5 g) must be
laced over the lid of the
dis enser.
This detergent will take effect
during the rewash hase
We recommend the use of Finish detergents which are
available in the following o tions:
Finish Double Action Tablets. Each tablet has the exact
amount of detergent required, sim ly lace in the dis enser.
Finish Powder 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.

Use of "3 in 1" combi detergent tablets
General advice
These roducts are tablets with combined detergent/rinse-aid
and salt functions.
1. Before using these roducts you should first check that the
water hardness in your su ly is com atible with the use of
these roducts as er the detergent manufacturers (on the
roduct ackaging).
2. These roducts should be strictly used according to the
detergent manufacturers instructions.
Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery
basket as this will result in poorer wash results. The
tablets should be placed in the detergent dispenser.
3. If you encounter roblems when using 3 in 1 roducts for
the first time then lease contact the detergent
manufacturers care line (the tele hone number is given on
the roduct ackaging).
Special advice
When using combination roducts, select the lowest ossible
setting for water hardness.
For more information lease refer to the instruction manual.
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent
system we advise that you:
●Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dis enser.
●Switch the water hardness setting to the highest ossible
osition and run a normal washing rogramme without a
load.
●Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the
hardness of the water in your area.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical com osition, dishwasher detergents
can be s lit into two basic ty es:
- conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic com onents.
- low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of 50°C washing rogrammes in conjunction with
concentrated detergents reduces ollution and is good for your
dishes; these wash rogrammes are s ecially matched to the
dirt-dissolving ro erties of the enzymes in the concentrated
detergent. For this reason 50°C wash rogrammes in which
concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same
results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65°C
rogrammes.
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different
s eeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot
develo their full cleaning ower during short rogrammes.
Therefore lease use normal rogrammes with rewash when
using detergent tablets.

Starting a washing programme

12
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control anel
with a dam soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral
detergents. Never use abrasive roducts, scouring ads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse
aid dis ensers are cleaned regularly with a dam cloth.
We recommend the use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner every
3 months or run a 65°C wash rogramme without dishes using
detergent.
Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner cleans
inaccessible arts, eliminates un leasant food odours and
hel s revent the build-u of limescale.
Cleaning the central filters
(After each wash)
Ins ect the central filters (B) and (C) and remove any scra s of
food with a brush, under running water.
Filters (B) and (C) are both removed by lifting u the outer one
(B) ( ulling the central funnel u wards); the smaller filter (C)
can be removed by ressing the two tongues (D).
Once cleaned, refit the filters by ressing them down until they
click into lace.
Cleaning the large filter
(Every week)
Clean the large filter (A) on both sides under running water,
using a brush.
To take it out, remove the s ray arm by ressing the two
tongues (E), turn the ring (F) anticlockwise and then slide the
whole art out.
Refit the filter following the
above instructions in reverse
order.
The dishwasher must not be used without filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will
produce poor washing results.
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of
the machine.
To ensure a correct working of the dishwasher, NEVER try
to remove the upper spray arm.
If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the u er s ray
arm, remove them with a tooth ick.
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any eriod of time you are
advised to:
1. Un lug the a liance and then turn off the water.
2. Fill the rinse aid dis enser.
3. Leave the door ajar to revent the formation of any
un leasant smells.
4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid lacing the machine in a location where the tem erature
is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, em ty the machine, close
the a liance door, disconnect the water inlet i e and em ty
it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):
1. Un lug it.
2. Turn the water ta off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during trans ortation.
