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 minerals and salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke degrees, French

degrees (°TH) and mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the
hardness of water).

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 water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water
hardness dial and electronically, using the function buttons on the control
panel.

Operating instructions

Filling with dishwasher 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
spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time,
which may cause corrosion.

To fill:

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt

container by turning it anticlockwise.

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.

4. Replace the cap making sure that
there is no trace of salt on the screw
thread or on the gasket.

5. Replace on the cap tightly turning it
clockwise until it stops with a click.

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 take longer to dissolve
then this can take longer. The function of the machine is not affected.

Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is
quite normal.

Operating instructions

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 pressing the

release button (A).

2. Add the rinse aid until the container is
completely full. The maximum level for
filling is indicated by “max”.

Ensure that the lid is closed after every
refill.

15

Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to
avoid excess foaming during the next wash.

Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dis­penser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid
detergent). This would damage the appliance.

16

Operating instructions

Adjusting the dose

According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse
aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum dosage, position
6 maximum dosage).

The dose is factory set in position 4.
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 or a bluish film on glassware
or knife blades.

Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the control panel
illuminates.

Operating instructions

In daily use

• Check if it’s necessary to refill with dishwasher salt or rinse aid.

• Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.

• Fill with dishwasher detergent.

• Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes.

• Start the wash programme.

Loading cutlery and dishes

Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not
be washed in the dishwasher.

• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

- Remove all left over food and debris.

- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans.

• When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:

- Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms.

- Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc, with the opening
downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a
deep base.

- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or
cover each other.

- To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.

- Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.

17

• Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to retain
water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel
items.

18

Operating instructions

For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes

are not suitable:

•Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or

mother-of-pearl handles

•Plastic items that are not heat
resistant

•Older cutlery with glued parts that
are not temperature resistant

•Bonded cutlery items or dishes

•Pewter or copper items

•Lead crystal glass

•Steel items prone to rusting

•Wooden platters

•Items made from synthetic fibres

are of limited suitability:

•Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it

is specifically marked as being dishwasher­safe by the manufacturer.

•Glazed patterns may fade if machine
washed frequently.

•Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency
to discolour during washing. Residues, e.g.
egg white, egg yolk and mustard often
cause discolouring and staining on silver.
Therefore always clean left-overs from silver
immediately, if it is not to be washed
straight after use.

•Some types of glass can become dull after a
large number of washes.

Operating instructions

Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.

The lower basket

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 spray arms can turn freely.

19

The two rows of prongs on the lower
basket can be easily lowered to allow you
to load pots, pans and bowls.

20

Operating instructions

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.

Removable knife basket

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as
carving knives must be placed horizontally
in the removable knife basket, which is
positioned at the rear of the upper basket.

Forks and spoons should be placed in the
removable cutlery basket with the handles
facing downwards and the knives with
their handles facing upwards.
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.

For best results we recommend you to use
the cutlery grids provided (if the size and
dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

Operating instructions

21

The upper basket

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates
of up to 24 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.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must 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.

22

Operating instructions

Adjusting the height of the upper basket

If washing very large plates, you can load them in the lower basket after
moving the upper basket to the higher position.

Maximum height of the dishes in

upper basket lower basket

With upper basket raised 20 cm 31 cm
With upper basket lowered 24 cm 27 cm

To move to the higher position proceed 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 basket is in the higher position
you will not be able to use the cup rack(s).

After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can
be a hazard.

Operating instructions

23

Use of detergent

Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
We recommend the use of Finish detergents.
Using no more than the correct amount of detergent contributes to

reducing pollution.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations

as stated on the detergent packaging.

Fill with detergent

1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs open.

2. Fill the detergent dispenser (2) with detergent.

The marking indicates the dosing levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent
30 = approximately 30 g of detergent

3. All programmes with prewash need an additional detergent dose
(5/10 g) that must be placed in the prewash detergent chamber (3).
This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase.

4. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

24

Operating instructions

Different kinds of detergent

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets from different manufactures dissolve at different rates. For
this reason, some detergent tablets do not attain their full cleaning power
during short washing programmes. Therefore please use long washing
programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal
of detergent residuals.

Concentrated detergent

Modern detergents for dishwashers are almost exclusively low-alkaline
concentrated detergents with natural enzymes in tablet form.

Using 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with these concentrated
detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes, as these washing
programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the
enzymes in concentrated detergents. It is for this reason that using 50°C
washing programmes in conjunction with concentrated detergents can
achieve the same cleaning results that can otherwise only be achieved using
65°C washing programmes.

Operating instructions

Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents

These products are detergents with a combined cleaning, rinsing and salt
function.

1. Check whether these detergents are suitable for your water
hardness. Follow the manufacturers instructions.

2. Set the "3 in 1" function.

3. Before the start of the washing programme put the "3 in 1"

detergent in the detergent dispenser.

NOTE: If the drying results are not satisfactory we recommend that you:

1. Fill up the rinse aid dispenser with rinse aid.

2. Activate the rinse aid dispenser and set the rinse aid dosage to

position 2.

If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system
we advise that you:

● Deactivate the "3 in 1" function.

● Fill up the dispensers for salt and rinse aid again.

● Adjust the water hardness setting to the highest setting perform up

to 3 normal washing programmes without loading any dishes.

● Adjust the water hardness setting according to the hardness of the

water in your area.

● Adjust the rinse aid dosage.

25

NOTE: When using 4 in 1 detergents that integrate also anti-glass corrosion
agent into "3 in 1" formula, please follow the same instruction as given for
"3 in 1" detergents above.

"AUTOMATIC" washing programme

During the "AUTOMATIC" washing programme the amount of soil on the dishes is determined by how
cloudy the water is.
If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled, the "prewash"", main wash", and "rinse"
phases of the programme are shorter and the water consumption level is lower.

If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled, the "prewash"", main wash", and "rinse"
phases of the programme are longer and the water consumption level is higher.

For this reason the programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary within the stated
range for AUTOMATIC programme (see "Washing programmes chart").

During the "AUTOMATIC" programme the temperature of the main wash water is also automatically
adjusted between 50°C and 65°C depending on the amount of soil on the dishes.

Interrupt a washing programme in progress

a)Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop.

Close the door; the programme will start from the point at
which it was interrupted.

b)Press the On/Off button, in this case all the indicator lights

turn off. Press the On/Off button again; the programme will
start from the point at which it was interrupted.

Cancel a washing programme in progress

To cancel a washing programme you have to reset the dishwasher;
press simultaneously function buttons 2 and 3 for about 2 seconds,
the indicator light of the button corresponding to the running
programme starts flashing. After about 2 seconds the indicator
lights of all the programme selection buttons will illuminate, this
means that the running programme has been cancelled and that
the machine has returned to setting mode.
If a new washing programme is to be selected, check that there is
detergent in the detergent dispenser.

Operating instructions

7. To cancel a delay start

To cancel a delay start in progress you have to reset the dishwasher;
follow the same instructions given in "To cancel a washing
programme in progress".
Cancelling a delay start involves also the cancelling of the washing
programme set.
In this case you have to set the washing programme again.

8. End of the washing programme

The dishwasher will automatically stop.
The end indicator light is illuminated.
In the digital display appears 0 (remaining programme time), only

in this case the programme has ended.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.
Open the dishwasher’s door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes

before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the
drying will be improved.

29

9. Unloading the dishwasher

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be
allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.

Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will
avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the
lower one.

Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as
the stainless steel will eventually become cooler then the dishes.

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the
dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

Operating instructions

Maintenance and cleaning

Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp
soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive

products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).

Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid dispensers
are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.

We recommend the use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner every 3 months or run
a 65°C wash programme without dishes using detergent.

Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner cleans inaccessible parts,
eliminates unpleasant food odours and helps prevent the build-up of
limescale.

Cleaning the filters

The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time.
Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.

Important! Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is
switched off.

1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.

2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (B)

and a flat filter (C).
Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove.

3. Turn the handle about
anticlockwise and remove.

/4a turn

Operating instructions

4. Take hold of the coarse filter (A) by the handle with the hole and
remove from the microfilter (B).

5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.

6. Remove the flat filter (C) from the base of the washing

compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.

7. Put the flat filter (C) back in the base of the washing compartment,
and ensure that it fits perfectly under the two guides (D).

8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and press together.

9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle

clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter
does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment.

31

Attention!

Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters .
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing
results.

NEVER try to remove the spray arms.

If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the spray arms, remove them
with a cocktail stick.

32

Installation instruction

Installation instructions

Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance
should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or
competent person.

Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.

Fitting under a counter

(kitchen worktop or sink)
By removing the machine’s worktop, you

can install it under a close fitting sink unit
or a pre-existing top, providing the
dimensions of the recess correspond to
those shown in the picture.

37

Proceed as follows:

Remove the machine’s worktop by
unscrewing the two rear retaining
screws, pull the worktop from the back
of the machine and slide out the front
slots, lifting the worktop.

Insert the machine after adjusting the levelling with the adjustable feet.
When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are
not kinked or squashed.

During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components the
dishwasher has to be unplugged.

Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily accessible for
the service engineer in the event that a repair is required.

If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the original
worktop must be re-mounted.

The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.

38

Installation instruction

Levelling

Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on either

side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet

until the machine is perfectly level.

Water supply connections

This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water.
Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as it
shortens the washing programmes a lot.

For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the machine’s
supply hose is designed to screw onto a 3/4" inch gas thread spout or to a
purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block.

The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical
specifications". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average
mains pressure in your area.

The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is
being connected.

The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to
the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut. The
locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. (Attention! NOT all
models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In
this case, this kind of facility is not possible).

If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not been used
for a long time, you should run the water for a few minutes before
connecting the inlet hose.

DO NOT use connection hoses which have previously been used for an
old appliance.

This appliance has been fitted with safety features which will prevent the
water used in the appliance from returning back into the drinking water
system. This appliance complies with the applicable plumbing regulations.

Installation instruction

39

Water inlet hose with safety valve

After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve is next
to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure while the
water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during this operation,
the safety valve cuts off the running water.

Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:

- The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-walled
water inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety
valve in water.

- If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the
mains plug immediately.

- A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a
specialist or by the Service Force Centre.

- Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never higher than
the bottom edge of the safety valve.

WARNING!

Dangerous voltage

40

Installation instruction

Water outlet hose connection

The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:

1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work
surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the
machine.

2. To a stand pipe provided 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 prevent or slow down

the discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as this

could cause the water to syphon back into the machine.
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 provided.

Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections to the
waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose provided.

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 therefore advise you to remove it.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any responsibility should this safety measure

not be observed.

If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for the socket, it
must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.

Important

The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code:

Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live

If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your
appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in
your plug.

Proceed as follows:

1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the terminal in the

plug which is marked with the letter "E" or the earth symbol or
coloured green and yellow.

2. Connect the Blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.

3. Connect the Brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter "L" or coloured red.

42

Installation instruction

The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a 13amp BSI362 fuse. Only
ASTA or BSI fuses should be used.

The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is
indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.

A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Service Force
Centre.

To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug.

Important!
The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed.

The appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply by means
of an extension cable.

In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please contact your
local Service Force Centre.

Warning!
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock)
hazard. Ensure that it is disposed of safely.
