Before using your dishwasher for the
first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply
with the installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging 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 water 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, Clarke
degrees, French degrees and PPM (parts per Million).
The softener should be ad usted 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 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be
ad usted.
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 2 upwards.
From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is necessary, the salt
indicator light will illuminate only in setting mode and at
the end of the washing programme.
During the run of the programme it will remain off.
To select a different level ensure that the
dishwasher is off and then proceed as
follows:
1. Press INTENSIVE SID 80Iand NORMAL programme push
buttons simultaneously.
2. While keeping the programme push buttons INTENSIVE
SID 80Iand NORMAL pressed switch on the dishwasher by
pressing the ON-OFF push button.
The ON-OFF indicator light comes on.
At the same time, the indicator lights of the INTENSIVE SID
80Iand NORMAL push buttons start flashing.
3. Press the INTENSIVE SID 80Ipush button, the indicator
light of the NORMAL push button turns off, while the
indicator light of the INTENSIVE SID 80Ipush button
remains fixed for about 5 seconds, after this it starts flashing
indicating the current level of the water softener.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes
made by the INTENSIVE SID 80Iindicator light, that
alternates 5 seconds off with a number of flashes, this for
about 60 seconds.
Example:
1 flash = level 1
2 flashes = level 2
3 flashes = level 3
4 flashes = level 4
5 flashes = level 5
4. To change the level, press the INTENSIVE SID 80I
programme push button. Each time the push button is
pressed the level changes.
Example:
if the current level is 3, by pressing the INTENSIVE SID 80I
programme push button once, level 4 is selected.
if the current level is 5, by pressing the INTENSIVE SID 80I
programme push button once, level 1 is selected.
The INTENSIVE SID 80Iindicator light remains off for
about 5 seconds after which it starts flashing indicating the
new level selected.
5. To memorise the new level, switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the ON-OFF push button.

Filling with salt
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.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which
may have been spilled, remaining on the bottom of the
machine for any period of time, which may cause
corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew
the cap of the salt
container.
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 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 making sure that there is no trace of salt
on the screw thread or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly.
The salt container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the
control panel which comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been
replenished, assuming the dishwasher remains switched
on. If you are using salts that ta e longer to dissolve then
this can ta e longer. The function of the machine is not
affected.
Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak 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 with rinse aid
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full.
The indicator (B) will be completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the
control panel illuminates.
If rinse aid refilling is necessary, the rinse aid indicator
light will illuminate only in setting mode and at the end of
the washing programme.
During the run of the programme it will remain off.
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.
It is possible to deactivate the rinse aid indicator light (see the
following instructions).
By default the rinse aid indicator light is active.
To deactivate the rinse aid indicator
light ensure that the dishwasher is off
and then proceed as follows:
1. Press INTENSIVE SID 80Iand NORMAL programme push
buttons simultaneously.
2. While keeping the programme push buttons INTENSIVE
SID 80Iand NORMAL pressed switch on the dishwasher by
pressing the ON-OFF push button.
The ON-OFF indicator light comes on.
At the same time, the indicator lights of the INTENSIVE SID
80Iand NORMAL push buttons start flashing.
3. Press the NORMAL push button, the correspondent
indicator light keeps flashing while the indicator light of the
INTENSIVE SID 80Ipush button turns off. At the same time
the indicator light end of programme starts to flash.

4. Press the NORMAL push button again, the end of
programme indicator light turns off, this means that the
rinse aid indicator light has been deactivated.
5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the ON-OFF push button.
To reactivate the rinse aid indicator light follow the same
process until the end of programme indicator light starts to
flash.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, ad ust 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 sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
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 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.
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the instructions given in the
Washing programmes chart.
As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult
the instructions on the packet.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add the required detergent
in the SID detergent dispenser, located in the centre of the
upper basket.
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:
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.
If detergents in tablet form are used with the QUICK A 30I
programme, it is advisable to put the tablet directly in the
dishwasher and not in the dispenser or in special tablet
containers. This ONLY applies to this programme.
Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor
washing results, whereas an excessive amount of
detergent will not improve washing results and is also
wasteful.
Using no more than the correct amount also contributes
to reducing pollution.
Compact detergents with enzymes
In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly
components have been replaced by natural enzymes and
other more biodegradable substances.
The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a
temperature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the ECONOMY programmes you can therefore
achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be
achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional
detergents.

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 which can fall through the
bas ets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower bas et
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutlery etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spray arm can turn
freely.
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily
lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see
picture).
- To bring them back to the standing position, ust pull them up
again.
The cutlery bas et
Long bladed nives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
These items should only be places in the removable nife
bas et.
Ta e care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
nives.
Removable nife bas et
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket
provided, to be positioned at the rear of the upper basket.
Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with
the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from
the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load
the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.
The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be separated to
give greater loading flexibility. To separate the two parts, slide
them horizontally in opposite directions and pull them apart. To
reassemble, reverse the procedure.
For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids
provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
The upper bas et
The upper basket 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 racks so
that water can reach all
surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can
be placed upside down in the
cup racks.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) should be loaded in the
upper basket 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 bas et
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving
the upper basket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as
follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it
stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides
upwards until the
mechanism is engaged
and the basket is stable.
Attention!
Never lift or lower the
bas et on one side only.
When the top bas et is in the higher position it will only
ta e plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be
able to use the cup rac s.
To lower the bas et to the original position
proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and the allow the
mechanism to drop back slowly, keeping hold of it.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.
To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and
wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.
Select the QUICK A 30Iprogramme when dishes are not very
soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing
programmes" chart.
For best washing results
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very
heavily soiled pots and pans.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water
drains off easily.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.
Items not suitable for dishwashers
The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher
(unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
- bronze cutlery
- saucepans with wooden handles
- aluminium ware
- crystal ware
- leaded glass
- plastic items
- antique or fine decorated china
Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic ob ects, if not guaranteed dishwasher
proof should be washed by hand.
Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being
washed several times in a dishwasher.
A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and
stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together.
Iron and cast iron ob ects can rust and stain other items.
Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and brass tend to
stain.
If in doubt chec with manufacturer of the item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher
proof.
