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.
6. Run a Rinse and Hold programme.
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
With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front
corner of the machine until the level required
corresponds with the mar er.

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. 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.
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.
Arrange spoons, dessert spoons, teaspoons, 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 25 cm in
diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items on and underneath the cup rac s so
that water can reach all surfaces.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the
upper bas et and arranged so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the
upper basket:
load them starting from the rear positions of the
basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the
front positions near the door.
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 32
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. 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 dispenser.
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.
