Never use our dishwasher without the SID dispenser.
Since SID also ensures correct distribution of the water to
the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher without it
will impair the washing results.

Operating sequence

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
baskets.
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.
The lower basket
The lo er basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates,
salad bo ls, 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 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 placed in the removable cutlery basket ith
the handles facing do n ards.
If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket,
obstructing the lo er spray arm, load the cutlery ith the
handles facing up ards.
Mix spoons ith other cutlery to prevent them from sticking
together.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed ith steel cutlery.
Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others.
For best results e recommend to use the cutlery grids
provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allo it).
The cutlery basket is in t o parts hich can be separated to
give greater loading flexibility. To separate the t o parts, slide
them horizontally 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 24 cm in diameter), salad
bo ls, cups and glasses.
Arrange items so that ater
can reach all surfaces.
Glasses ith long stems can
be placed upside do n in the
cup racks.
Light items (plastic bo ls
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 forwards and
avoiding the front positions
near the door.
Attention!
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can
rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper
basket
If ashing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lo er basket after moving
the upper basket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1. Move the front runner
stops (A) of the upper
basket out ards 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 ill only take
plates up to 20 cm in diameter and you ill not be able to use
the cup racks.
Attention!
After loading your machine always close the door, as an
open door can be a hazard.

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 4.
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.
Each push button corresponds to a different level:
Level 1 = programme push button 1
Level 2 = programme push button 2
Level 3 = programme push button 3
Level 4 = programme push button 4
Level 5 = programme push button 5
The adjustment of the water softener is possible only with
the machine in setting mode.
To select a different level, proceed as follows:
1.Press the ON/OFF ush button and then ress and kee
ressed simultaneously for about 5 seconds the ush
buttons 3 and 5.
The indicator light corres onding to the current level flashes.
2.Press the rogramme ush button corres onding to the
required level.
3.5 seconds after having last ressed any of the rogramme
ush buttons, the dishwasher memorises the level selected
and returns to the rogramme setting mode.
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. 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.
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.

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.

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.
