In this fully integrated appliance the controls are
located on the top of the door. When selecting a
programme, the door needs to be partially opened.

Audible signals have been introduced to help indicate
which operations the dishwasher is performing.

Short signal - "Instruction accepted"

When any of the buttons are pressed, a short audible
signal informs you that the machine has accepted the
instruction given; if no signal is heard when a button
is pressed, this means that a programme is already
running or that the programme selected does not
include this function.

Long signal - "Programme run"

A continuous audible signal lasting about half second,
heard only when you close the dishwasher door,
informs you that the washing programme is starting.

Intermittent signal - "End of programme"

A short intermittent audible signal informs you that
the wash programme has ended.

Intermittent signal - "Alarm"

The machine is fitted with a number of alarm systems
to help you to determine the cause of any problems
(see "Something not working").

An intermittent audible signal lasting about 15
seconds informs you that an alarm is activated.

To deactivate these audible signals (except the alarm
signal).

Both operations (to deactivate or reactivate the
audible signals) must be carried out before
selecting/starting a washing programme).

Press both "Programme selector" and "Economy dry"
buttons together for about 3 seconds (until you hear
an intermittent audible signal lasting about 3
seconds).

After this operation the audible signals are
deactivated.

To reactivate the audible signals

Press both buttons together again for about 3 seconds
until an intermittent audible signal informs you that
the audible signals are now reactivated.

1. On/Off pushbutton

Press this button to preset the dishwasher to accept
settings (selection of a wash programme, economy
drying, etc.).

The number corresponding to the last programme
selected appears in the digital display; if salt or rinse
aid need refilling the corresponding indicator light
will illuminate.

When the washing programme has finished, the
machine stops automatically (a short intermittent
audible signal informs you of this) and three flashing
horizontal lines (---) will appear in the digital display
to indicate the end of the cycle.

To switch off the dishwasher at the end of the
programme, press this button again.

minimum of 1 hour, up to 12 hours.

How to set the "Delay start":

- When the button is pressed, in the display appears
"h 00".

- Press the button again to select the number of hours
which you wish to delay the programme start, up to
a maximum of 12 hours.

The delay start will not affect the programme settings.

10. "Cancel" pushbutton

If you press this button for at least 3 seconds after the
start of a programme (with open door) the selected
programme will be cancelled. A short intermittent
audible signal will be heard, and (---) will appear in
the digital display for 2 seconds, indicating that the
wash programme has been cancelled.

In the digital display will appear the programme
previously selected with relative options.

If this pushbutton is pressed for about 3 seconds
during the countdown of the delay start; the
countdown will be anulled but the other options are
still active and in the digital display will appear the
number of the programme selected.

At this point, the options can be changed and the
washing programme start or a new delay start can be
selected.

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. fill the salt container

5. fill the rinse aid dispenser

6. run a rinse and hold programme after installation

before carrying out a wash programme for the first
time.

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,
German, 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 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener

should be adjusted.

To select a different level proceed as
follows:

- Press the On/Off pushbutton on.

- Press the "Half load" and "Economy drying" buttons
simultaneously for about 5 seconds. The indication
"L4" corresponding to the current level appears in
the display and the indicator of "ECO DRY" will
flash.

- Press the "Economy drying" button as many times as
necessary to make the required level appear in the
display. The level increases by 1 each time the button
is pressed.

- 5 seconds after this button has last been pressed, the
dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns
to the programme setting mode.

Water hardness

Filling with salt

If your water is "level 0" it is already soft and therefore
there is no need to use salt.

Salt must be used from "level 1" upward.

Only use salt specifically designed for
use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically
designed for use in 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 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. 2 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.

The salt container will require topping up periodically.
You are reminded of this by the "Salt refill indicator

light" on the control panel which comes on when the salt
has finished (if level 0 has been selected, the indicator
light will always be on).

The "Salt refill 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, 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 rinse aid indicator
light on the control panel illuminates.

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

3. Always close the lid.

4. If the programme has a prewash add the

required detergent in the "SID" located in the centre
of the upper basket.
Follow the recommended quantity of detergent
given in the "Washing programme" chart.

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.
