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.
6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.
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 on level 1 without using salt. The salt indicator light on the control panel will always remain illuminated when the machine is switched on.

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 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. 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.

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 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 compartment. 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.
If dishes are loaded in the upper basket, tilt them forwards.
Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the raised cup racks.
For taller items, the cup racks can be folded upwards. 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. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the
mechanism is engaged and the basket is stable.
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.
To lower the basket to the original position proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and the allow the
mechanism to drop back slowly, keeping hold of it.
Never lift or lower the basket on one side only.
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 every day use.As the gel
is extra gentle is it recommended for 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 recommended
quantity given in the "Washing programmes" chart. As all detergents are not the same, you should also consult the instructions from the manufacturer of your brand.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add a little amount
of detergent over the lid of the dispenser.(See "Washing programmes" chart).
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.

Compact detergents with enzymes
In these compact powders the environmentally unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances.
The enzymes deploy their full dirt dissolving power at a temperature as low as 50°C. By choosing the "Bio" programmes you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise
be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.
