The control panel
SO441

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
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 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.
With the setting of the water softener at level 0 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.
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 Half load and Drying options ush buttons
simultaneously for about 5 seconds. In the dis lay a ears
an L followed by a number (e.g. L 4) which corres onds to
the current level.
2. Press within 5 seconds the Drying options ush button
(No Dry indicator light flashes) until the required level
a ears in the dis lay. The level increases by 1 each time
the ush button is ressed.
3. 5 seconds after the Drying options ush button has last
been ressed, the dishwasher memorises the level
selected and returns to the rogramme setting mode.
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 complete
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 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 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.
You are reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the
control anel 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 take longer to dissolve then
this can take longer.
The operation 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 rinse aid indicator light on
the control anel illuminates.
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put 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.
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.
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 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.
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 instructions given in the
Washing rogrammes chart.
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 in the SID detergent dis enser, located in the
centre of the u er basket.
Follow the recommended quantity of detergent given in the
Washing rogrammes chart.
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.
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 BIO rogrammes you can therefore achieve
the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable
only with 65°C rogrammes and conventional detergents.

Loading your appliance
Before lacing dishes in the machine, remove any scra s of
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing
the erformance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the
baskets.
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 two rear rows of rongs on the lower basket can be easily
lowered to allow you to load ots, ans and bowls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightly ull them u ward and let them dro down (see
icture).
- To bring them back to the standing osition, just ull them
u again.
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a
potential hazard.
These items should only be placed in the removable knife
basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as
knives.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or shar items of cutlery such as carving knives
must be laced horizontally in the removable knife basket,
which is ositioned at the rear of the u er basket.
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.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery.
Place it in the cutlery basket se arate from the others.
For best results we recommend to use the cutlery grids
rovided (if the size and the dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
The cutlery basket is in two arts which can be se arated to
give greater loading flexibility. To se arate the two arts, slide
them horizontally in o osite directions and ull them a art. To
reassemble, reverse the rocedure.

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 washing very large lates (over 27 cm and u to 32 cm in
diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving
the u er basket to the higher osition.
Attention!
Never lift or lower the basket on one side only.
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it sto s.
2. Carefully lift both sides u wards until the mechanism is
engaged and the basket is stable.
When the to basket is in the higher osition it will only take
lates u to 20 cm in diameter and you will not be able to use
the cu racks.
To lower the basket to the original position proceed as
follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it sto s.
2. Carefully lift both sides u wards and the allow the
mechanism to dro back slowly, kee ing hold of it.

Important!
In general it is not advisable to open the door while the
machine is working; if the door is opened however, a
safety device ensures that the machine stops.
Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot
phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as
steam may escape.
When the washing programme has finished, it is
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.

Operating sequence

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
(After 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.
Check that the SID is not clogged with detergent residue. If
necessary rinse it under running water after having removed it
from the basket by twisting it anticlockwise and ulling it
u wards.
Fasten it back onto the su ort by turning it clockwise.
Never use your 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.
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....).
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.

Any electrical work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person.
Any plumbing work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent
person.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If ossible, osition the machine next to a water ta and a
drain.
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 ( age 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.
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
Do not use, for the connection, old hoses which have
been used in another appliance.
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 filter.
Water outlet hose connection
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. 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.
The sink lug must not be in lace when the machine is
draining as this could cause the water to si hon back into the
machine.
Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to
protect against the return of dirty water back into the
machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve"
incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your
dishwasher.
We advise you therefore to remove it.
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.
