Loa ing your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove an scraps of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequentl reducing
the performance.
Do not loa very small items which can fall through the
baskets.
The lower basket
The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bowls, cutler etc.
Serving dishes and large lids should be arranged around the
edge of the basket, ensuring that the upper spra arm can turn
freel .
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easil
lowered to allow ou to load pots, pans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightl pull them upward and let them drop down (see
picture).
- To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up
again.
The cutlery basket
Long bla e knives store in an upright position are a
potential hazar .
Long an /or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be positione horizontally in the upper basket.
Take care when loa ing or unloa ing sharp items such as
knives.
Cutler should be placed in the removable cutler basket with
the handles facing downwards.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,
obstructing the lower spra arm, load the cutler with the
handles facing upwards.
Mix spoons with other cutler to prevent them from sticking
together.
The cutler basket is in two
parts which can be separated
to give greater loading
flexibilit .
To separate the two parts,
slide them horizontall in
opposite directions and pull
them apart.
To reassemble, reverse the
procedure.
The upper basket
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.
Light items (plastic bowls
etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so
the do not move.
Before closing the oor, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper
basket:
load them starting from the
rear positions of the basket,
tilting them forwards and
avoiding the front positions
near the door.
A justing the height of the upper basket
If washing ver large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in
diameter) ou can load them in the lower basket after moving
the upper basket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position procee as follows:
1. Move the front runner
stops (A) of the upper
basket outwards and slide
the basket out.
2. Refit the basket in the
higher position and
replace the stops (A) in
their original position.
When the top basket is in
the higher position it will
only take plates up to 20 cm in iameter an you will not
be able to use the raise cup racks.
After loa ing your machine always close the oor, as an
open oor can be a hazar .

Important safety information

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.
6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" rogramme.
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,
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.
If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore
there is no need to use salt.
In this case adjust the water softener on level 1 without
using salt.
Only for dishwasher models with salt refill
indicator light:
if the water softener has been adjusted on level 1 without use
of salt, the salt refill indicator light on the control panel will
always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on.
To adjust the water softener
With a screwdriver turn the selector on the u er front corner
of the machine until the level
required corres onds with the
marker.
Filling with salt
ttention!
Only use salt specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
ll other types of salt not specifically designed for use in
dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water
softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting a washing
programme. This will prevent any grains of salt or salty
water, which may have been spilled, remaining on the
bottom of the machine, which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. To fill with salt, unscrew the ca 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 (if
rovided), our 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. 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.
The salt container will require to ing u eriodically.
According to the model, an indicator reminds you when filling
with salt:
) The salt ca has a refill
indicator window in the centre.
A green 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.
B) A salt indicator light on the
control anel will come 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 take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer.
The function of the machine is not affected..

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.
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.
(Only for models with rinse aid indicator light)
To u with rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on
the control anel illuminates.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not ut liquid detergent in the rinse aid com artment.
Clean u any rinse aid s ilt during filling with an absorbent
cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
djusting 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.
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 o tions:
Finish Double ction 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 is it recommended for fine bone china.
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. O en the dis enser lid by ulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the recommended
quantity given in the "Washing rogrammes" chart
(see "Instruction Book - Part 2").
As all detergents are not the same, you should also
consult the instructions on the acket.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the rogramme has a rewash add a little amount of
detergent over the lid of the dis enser. Follow the
recommended quantity given in the "Washing
rogrammes" chart (see "Instruction Book - Part 2").
If using detergent in tablets proceed as
follows:
1. For all rogrammes; lace 1 tablet inside the detergent
dis enser.
2. Always close the lid.
3. For all rogrammes with rewash; lace a ortion of a
further tablet on the lid of the detergent dis enser.
If your dishwasher has a SID dispenser and you require a
prewash, put the extra detergent into the SID dispenser
and not on the lid of the detergent dispenser.
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 com act owders the environmentally unfriendly
com onents have been re laced by natural enzymes and
other more biodegradable substances.
The enzymes de loy their full dirt dissolving ower at a
tem erature as low as 50°C.
By choosing the 50°C rogrammes (if available) you can
therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would
otherwise be achievable only with 65°C rogrammes and
conventional detergents.These new com act owders are
generally hos hate-free.

To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and
wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.
If necessary run the Rinse and Hold rogramme (see
"Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scra s do not
become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the
com lete wash rogramme.
Do not rewash dishes under running water.
For best washing and drying results
Before loading, remove all scra s of food and soak very
heavily soiled ots and ans.
Arrange sauce ans, cu s and glasses etc. u side-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water
drains off easily.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as ossible.
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 arts
- bronze cutlery
- sauce ans with wooden handles
- aluminium ware
- crystal ware
- leaded glass
- lastic items
- antique or fine decorated china
Certain ty es of decoration can discolour when washed in a
dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and lastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher
roof should be washed by hand.
Certain ty es of glass can also become o aque after being
washed several times in a dishwasher.
A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and
stainless steel cutlery. As a recaution, do not wash together.
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.
Aluminium tends to go black, co er, ewter and brass tend to
stain.
If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item.
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are
dishwasher proof.

Internal cleaning
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 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 filter
( fter each wash)
Scra s of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and
should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water.
To remove the drain filter
- sim ly ull it out by the handle.
Once cleaned, refit the filter by ushing it back to its original
osition until it engages.
Cleaning the large filter
(Every week)
If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under
running water, using a brush.
To remove the large filter
1. Remove the s ray arm by ulling it u wards on one side.
2. Turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 90° and then slide
out the filter.
3. Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in
reverse order.
4. Ensure the filter is in its original osition, the handle of
the drain filter should be ointing towards the front of the
a liance.
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.
External cleaning
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....).

Water supply connections
This dishwasher must be lumbed into a cold water su ly.
The water ressure must be within the limits given in the
"Technical s ecifications" (Instruction Book - Part 2).
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average
mains ressure in your area.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be
turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been
used in another appliance.
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could revent or slow
down the water su ly.
If the machine is connected to new i es or i es which have
not been used for a long time, you should run the water for a
few minutes before connecting the inlet hose. This will revent
de osits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose.

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following
ways:
1. To the sink outlet s igot, securing it if necessary with a
cli .
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the s ecial
curved lastic guide (if provided).
3. To a stand i e rovided with vent-hole, minimum
internal diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the
dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could revent
or slow down the discharge of water.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2
metres and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose rovided.
Likewise the internal diameter of the cou lings used for
connections to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the
diameter of the hose rovided.
