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

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.

Long signal "programme starting"

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

Intermittent signal "end of programme"

An intermittent audible signal, lasting for approximately five seconds, informs you that the wash programme has finished. If you wish to deactivate these audible signals, press both the "NORMAL 65°c" and "BIO 50°c" programme buttons together for about 3 seconds, until the intermittent audible signal can no longer be heard.

To reactivate the audible signals, press both buttons together again for about 3 seconds, until an intermittent audible signal is heard.

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.

If your water is "level 0" it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. (In this case the salt refill indicator light will remain illuminated).

The dishwasher is factory set at level 2. If this level is not suitable for your area the softener

should be adjusted.

You may change the factory setting level setting by means of the wash programme selector buttons. Each button corresponds to a different level (see chart).

To select a different level proceed as follows:

- Press the "NORMAL 65°c" and "QUICK 50°c" programme buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds until the short signal "instruction accepted" is heard. The pilot light corresponding to the current level (level 2) flashes very rapidly.

- Press the programme button corresponding to the required level.

- 5 seconds after having last pressed any of the programme buttons, the dishwasher memorises the level selected and returns to the programme setting mode.

Filling with salt

If your water is "level 0" it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt. (In this case the salt refill indicator light will remain illuminated).

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. 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. 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.

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 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.

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.

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 environmently 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.
