Before use
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions
remove all packaging from inside the appliance
set the water softener
fill the salt container
fill the rinse aid dispenser.
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 and French degrees. 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.

To adjust the water softener:
Level 1
If your water is "level 1" it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.
Levels 3 and 5
(water softener adjustment)
If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows:
- slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container;
- turn the two-position selector anticlockwise from position - to position + with the aid of a knife or screwdriver.
Levels 4 and 5
(adjustment on the machine)
If your water is level 4 or 5, open the door and drill membrane (A) on the upper left-hand corner of the machine.
With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments must be made.

Filling with salt
Salt must be used from level 2 upward.
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwasher. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in dishwasher, specifically table salt, will damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and Hold programme). 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 about 1 litre of water inside the container,
or until it is full (this is necessary only before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Then using the funnel provided, pour in the salt
until the container is full (approx. 1.5 - 1.8 kg). 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.
SALT
SR07
The salt container will require topping up periodically. The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre. A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside
the container, and almost disappears when the salt has finished, (ie. every 30 - 50 washes depending on the setting of the water softener) reminding you to add salt.

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring thorough rinsing, 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 (approx. 110 ml). The indicator (B) will be completely dark.
3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B)
becomes clear.

BR01
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid department. Clean up any rinse aid spilt 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 position selector (C) (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage). (Start from position 3). Gradually 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 is it recommended for fine bone china.
To fill the dishwasher with detergent proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
2. Add the detergent according to the
recommendations in the programme chart. As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions on the packet. To help correctly dose the right amount of detergent, inside the container there are two reference marks:
- MIN = 15 ml
- MAX = 30 ml
DE07
DE02
D
MIN
MAX
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add the
required detergent over the lid of the 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.

Using your appliance
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 lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), 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.
UI33
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and bowls.
IEC 436 / DIN 44990
To lower the prongs:
Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down (see picture)
To bring them back to the standing position, just pull them up again.
