Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections
comply with the installation instructions

2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance

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 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, French degrees and PPM (parts per 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.

To adjust the water softener

With a screwdriver turn the selector on the upper front
corner of the machine until the level required
corresponds with the marker.

Water hardness

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 to
level 1 without using salt.

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 (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 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.
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.

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 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.The indicator (B) will be completely dark.

3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B)
becomes clear.

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.

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, 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.

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

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.

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 with the handles facing downwards.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.

The cutlery basket is in two parts which can be
separated to give greater loading flexibility. To separate
the two 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 bowls, cups and glasses.

Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down cup
racks so that water can reach all surfaces.

Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

Before closing the door, ensure that the
spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper
basket

If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31
cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower 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

outward 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 diameter and you will not be able to use
the raised cup racks.

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

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 more delicate items as fine

bone china.

If using powder detergents proceed as follows:

1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).

2. Add the detergent according to the instructions

given on the packet.

3. Always close the lid.

4. If the programme has a prewash add the required

detergent over the lid of the dispenser.

If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:

1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the

detergent dispenser.

2. Always close the lid.

3. For all programmes with prewash;place a portion

of a further tablet 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.

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 programme (see
"Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps
do not become caked on the dishes while you are
waiting to run the complete wash programme.

Do not prewash dishes under running water.

For best washing and drying results

Before loading remove all scraps of food and soak
very heavily soiled pots and pans.

Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc.upside­down.

Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the
water drains off easily.

Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.
Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes;in this

way they will be cooler and the drying will be
improved.

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.

You will improve drying results by leaving the
dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as
soon as the programme finishes.

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 parts

- bronze cutlery

- saucepans with wooden handles

- aluminium ware

- crystal ware

- leaded glass

- plastic items

- antique or fine decorated china

Certain types of decoration can discolour when
washed in a dishwasher.

Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed
dishwasher proof should be washed by hand.

Certain types of glass can also become opaque
after being washed several times in a dishwasher.

A chemical reaction can occur between silver
cutlery and stainless steel cutlery.As a precaution,
do not wash together.

Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other
items.

Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter 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 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 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 central filter

(After each wash)

Scraps 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

- simply pull it out by the handle.
Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its

original position until it engages.

Cleaning the large filter

(Every month)

If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides
under running water, using a brush.

To remove the large filter

1. Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards 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 position, the handle
of the drain filter should be pointing towards the
front of the appliance.

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.

Water supply connections

This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water
supply.

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 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.

Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent
or slow down the water supply.

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.This will prevent deposits 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 siphon, securing it if necessary
with a clip.

2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special
curved plastic guide provided.

3. 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.

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.

The sink plug must not be in place when the
machine is draining as this could cause the water
to siphon back into the machine.
