6. "DRY" selection push button
By pressing this push button you can opt to
shorten (ECO DRY) or completely eliminate
(NO DRY) the heating phase during the last
rinse, so making a considerable energy saving.
The indicator light corresponding to the
selection will come on.
This option is not available with programmes 1
(Rinse and Hold) and 10 (Plate warmer).
If "NO DRY" is selected the supply of rinse
aid is automatically excluded.
If both indicator lights are off, the full drying
cycle will be carried out.
7. "DELAY START" push button
Allows the start of the programme to be
delayed by a minimum of 1 hour, up to 12
hours.
8. "CANCEL" push button

Audible signals
Audible signals have been introduced to help
indicate which operations the dishwasher is
performing.
Short "instruction accepted" signal
When any of the push buttons are pressed
(except the ON/OFF push button), a
short audible signal informs you that the machine
has accepted the instruction given.
Long "programme run" signal
A continuous audible signal informs you, once
closed the door, that the washing programme is
starting.
Intermittent "end of programme" signal
A short intermittent audible signal informs you
that the washing programme has ended.
"Alarm" intermittent signal
The machine is fitted with a number of alarm
systems to help you determine the cause of any
problems (see "Something not working").
An intermittent audible signal informs you that
an alarm is activated.
To deactivate these audible signals, press
simultaneously both "PROGRAMMES
SELECTION" and "DRY" push buttons for at least 5
seconds at the end of which 3 short intermittent
audible signals inform you that the audible signals
have been deactivated.
To reactivate these audible signals, press
simultaneously both "PROGRAMMES
SELECTION" and "DRY" push buttons for at least 5
seconds at the end of which 3 short intermittent
audible signals inform you that the audible signals
have been reactivated.
Both operations (to deactivate or
reactivate the audible signals) can be
carried out before starting or during a
washing programme.

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 degrees, 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.
The adjustment of the water softener is
possible only with the machine in setting
mode.
To select a different level proceed as
follows:
1. Press "HALF LOAD" and "DRY" push buttons
simultaneously for about 5 seconds. In the
display appears a "L" followed by a number
which corresponds to the current level.
2. Press within 5 seconds the "DRY" push button
(the NO DRY indicator light flashes) as many
times as necessary until the required level
appears in the display. The level increases by 1
each time the push button is pressed.
3. 5 seconds after this push button has last been
pressed, the dishwasher memorises the level
selected and returns to the programme setting
mode.

Water hardness
If your water is level 0 it is already soft
and therefore there is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at
level 0 the salt indicator light on the
control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.

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 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
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.

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 it is 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 instructions
given in the “Washing programmes” chart.
As all detergents are not the same, you should
also consult the instructions on the packet.
3. Always close the lid.
4. If the programme has a prewash add the
required detergent in the SID detergent
dispenser, located in the centre of the upper
basket.
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.
