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
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 water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness switch and electronically, using the function push buttons on the control panel.
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.
a) Setting manually
1. Open the dishwasher door.
2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.
3. Turn the water hardness switch to position 1 or 2 (see
table).
4. Replace the lower basket.
The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.
b)Setting electronically
(The dishwasher must be switched off)
The dishwasher is factory set at level 5.
1. Press the On/Off push button.
2. Press simultaneously function push buttons 2 and 3, until
the indicator lights of the function push buttons 1, 2 and 3 start flashing.
3. Press the function push button 1, the indicator lights of function push buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator light of the push button 1 goes on flashing, at the same time the indicator light END starts to flash.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes of the indicator light END.
Example: 5 flashes = level 5
4. To change the level, press push button 1. Each time the
push button is pressed the level changes. (For the selection of the new level see the chart).
Examples:
if the current level is 5, by pressing push button 1 once, level 6 is selected. if the current level is 10, by pressing push button 1 once, level 1 is selected.
5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button or wait about 60 seconds after which the dishwasher will automatically return to setting mode.

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 spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period of time, which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the
cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
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.
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 turning it clockwise until it stops with a click.
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.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal.
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 pressing the release button (A).
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The
maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.
Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel illuminates.
Adjusting the dose
According to the finish and drying results obtained, adjust the dose of rinse aid by means of the 6 position selector (position 1 minimum dosage, position 6 maximum dosage).
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing.
The dose is factory set in position 4.
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash.
Only use branded rinse aid for dishwashers. Never fill the rinse aid dispenser with any other substances (e.g. dishwasher cleaning agent, liquid detergent). This would damage the appliance.

In daily use
● Check if it’s necessary to refill with special salt or rinse aid
● Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher.
● Fill with dishwasher detergent .
● Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and
dishes.
● Start the wash programme.
Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.
● Before loading the dishes, you should:
- Remove large left-overs.
- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
● When loading the dishes and cutlery, please note:
- Dishes and cutlery must not impede the rotation of the spray arms .
- Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans, etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
- Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other.
- To avoid damage to glasses, they must not touch.
- Lay small objects in the cutlery basket.
● Plastic items and pans with teflon have a tendency to
retain water drops; these items will not dry as well as porcelain and steel items.
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 spray arms can turn freely.
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.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives must be placed horizontally in the removable knife basket, which is positioned at the rear of the upper basket.
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes
are of limited suitability:
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour during washing. Left-overs, e.g. egg white, egg yolk and mustard often cause discolouring and staining on silver. Therefore always clean left-overs from silver immediately, if it is not to be washed straight after use.
- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes
are not suitable:
- Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearl handles
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant
- Older cutlery with glued parts that is not temperature resistant
- Bonded cutlery items or dishes
- Pewter or copper items
- Lead crystal glass
- Steel items subject to rusting
- Wooden platters
- Items made from synthetic fibres

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.
For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).
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 cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup racks.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.
In case that plates are loaded in the upper basket:
load them starting from the rear positions of the basket; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door.
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates 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
outwards and slide the basket out.
2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position.
When the basket is in the higher position you will not be able to use the cup rack(s).
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. Using no more then the correct amount of detergent
contributes to reducing pollution.
Prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the "Rinse and Hold" programme, that does not require the use of detergent). The detergent is released during the washing phase.
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.
Fill with detergent
1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1).
The lid springs open.
2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels:
20 = approximately 20 g of detergent 30 = approximately 30 g of detergent
3. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
4. For all programmes with prewash, an additional detergent
dose (5/10 g) must be placed into the WRD detergent dispenser, located in the centre of the upper basket. This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase

Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use long programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the complete removal of detergent residuals.
Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery basket as this will result in poorer wash results. The tablets should be placed in the detergent dispenser.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split into two basic types:
- conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
- low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes. The use of 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with
concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes; these wash programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. For this reason 50°C wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65°C programmes.
Combi detergents
If you are using dishwasher detergent that includes the rinse aid function, this must be placed in the detergent compartment.
In this case the rinse aid inflow must be deactivated, in order to avoid a double dosage.
Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents
General advice
These products are detergents with integrated and combined detergent/rinse-aid and salt functions.
1. Before using these products you should first check that the water hardness in your supply is compatible with the use of these products as per the detergent manufacturers (on the product packaging).
2. These products should be strictly used according to the detergent manufacturers instructions.
3. If you encounter problems when using 3 in 1 products for the first time then please contact the detergent manufacturers care line (the telephone number is given on the product packaging).
Special advice
When using combination 3 in 1 products select the lowest possible setting for water hardness.
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you:
● Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser.
● Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible
position and run a normal washing programme without a load.
● Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the
hardness of the water in your area.

1. Check that the baskets have been loaded correctly and that the spray arms can rotate freely
2. Turn on the water tap
3. Close the dishwasher door
4. Press the On/Off push button
The On/Off indicator light will come on.
5. Setting and starting the programme
Press the push button corresponding to the required programme (see "Washing programmes" chart). The indicator light corresponding to the programme and the phase indicator lights foreseen for that programme will illuminate.
After about 3 seconds from the last pressure of a push button the programme starts automatically.
Once the programme has started the phase indicator lights will turn off except for the phase under way.
Note: it is possible to select a washing programme also with the door slightly opened. In this case the start of the programme will occur after about 3 seconds from the closure of the door.
a) Press On/Off push button. b) Select a washing programme. c) Close the door.
The programme will start automatically after about 3 seconds from the closure of the door.
6. To interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress
Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress ONLY if it’s absolutely necessary.
Attention! Hot steam may escape when the door is opened. Open the door carefully.
To interrupt a washing programme in progress
a) Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop.
Close the door; the programme will start from the point in which it was interrupted.
b) Press the On/Off push button (in this case all the
indicator lights turn off). Press the On/Off push button again; the programme will start from the point in which it was interrupted.
To cancel a washing programme in progress
To cancel a washing programme you have to reset the dishwasher; press simultaneously the function push buttons 2 and 3 until all the indicator lights will turn off (except for the On/Off indicator light and eventually the rinse aid and salt indicator lights) indicating that the running programme has been cancelled.
7. End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop and the end of programme phase indicator light (END) will illuminate.
The indicator light of the programme just ended will remain on.
If the door is not immediately opened at the end of the programme, air will circulate inside the dishwasher to prevent residual steam recondensing on the dishes as water droplets. This device operates intermittently for about 20 minutes, as long as the dishwasher is switched on. if the On/Off push button is pressed or the door is opened during these 20 minutes, the device will be automatically cancelled.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button, the On/Off indicator light turns off.
Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.
Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.
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.
When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.
Starting a washing programme
14
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or
solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....).
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 programme 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 filters
The filters in the base of the washing compartment are to a large extent self-cleaning. Nevertheless the filters should be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse/fine filter (A/B), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D).
Some dishwasher will only have a coarse filter (A), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D).
Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and remove.
3. Turn the handle about
1
/4a turn anticlockwise and remove.
4. Take hold of the coarse/fine filter (A/B) by the handle with
the hole and remove from the microfilter (C).
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.
6. Remove the flat filter (D) from the base of the washing
compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.
7. Put the flat filter (D) back in the base of the washing
compartment.
8. Place the coarse/fine filter (A/B) in the microfilter C) and
press together.
9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment.
Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without filters. Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor washing results.
NEVER try to remove the upper spray arm.
If residues of soil have clogged the holes in the upper spray arm, remove them with a toothpick.
Check that the WRD is not clogged with detergent residue. If necessary rinse it under running water after having removed it from the basket by twisting it anticlockwise and pulling it upwards.
Never use your dishwasher without the WRD dispenser. Since WRD also ensures correct distribution of the water to the upper spray arm, running the dishwasher without it will impair the washing results.
Prolonged periods of non-operation
If you are not using the machine for any period of time you are advised to:
1. Unplug the appliance and then turn off the water.
2. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
3. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any
unpleasant smells.
4. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.
Moving the machine
If you have to move the machine (moving house etc....):
1. Unplug it.
2. Turn the water tap off.
3. Remove the water inlet and discharge hoses.
4. Pull the machine out together with the hoses.
Avoid over tilting the machine during transportation.

Installation instructions
Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or plumber or competent person.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a
drain.
Fitting under a counter
(kitchen worktop or sink) By removing the machine’s worktop, you can install it under a
close fitting sink unit or a pre-existing top, providing the dimensions of the recess correspond to those shown in the picture.
Proceed as follows:
Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two rear retaining screws, pull from the front and slide out the rear slots, lifting the worktop.
Insert the machine after adjusting height and levelling with the adjustable feet. When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet and drain hoses are not kinked or squashed.
If the dishwasher is later used as a free-standing appliance, the original worktop must be re-mounted.
The plinth on free-standing appliances is not adjustable.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable feet until the machine is perfectly level.
Water supply connections
This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water supply. For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the
machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4" inch gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Press-block.
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 water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected up.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the locknut. (Attention! NOT all models of
dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not possible).
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks. 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.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in another appliance.
The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the applicable plumbing regulations.

Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the machine.
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide (if provided with the machine).
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.
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.
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.
Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against the return of dirty water back into the machine. If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher. We advise you therefore to remove it.
Electrical connection
This appliance must be earthed. The manufacturer declines any responsibility should this safety measure not be observed.
If the plug that is fitted to your appliance is not suitable for the socket, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted.
Important
The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth Blue - Neutral Brown - Live
If you fit your own plug, the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug.
Proceed as follows:
1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or the earth symbol or coloured green and yellow.
2. Connect the Blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.
3. Connect the Brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured red.
The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a 13amp BSI362 fuse. Only ASTA or BSI fuses should be used.
The plug must not be used if the fuse cover/carrier is lost. The cover/carrier is indicated by the coloured insert at the base of the plug.
A replacement cover/carrier must be obtained from your local Service Force Centre.
To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug.
Important! The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed.
The appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply by means of an extension cable.
In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please contact your local Service Force Centre.
