If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there  
is no need to use salt.  
With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt  
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.  
Use salt from level 2 upwards.  
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).  
From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is necessary, the salt  
indicator light will illuminate only in setting mode and at  
the end of the washing programme.  
During the run of the programme it will remain off.  
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 3.  
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be  
adjusted.

To select a different level ensure that the  
dishwasher is off and then proceed as  
follows:  
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.  
1. Press RINSE & HOLD and INTENSIVE programme push  
buttons simultaneously.  
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the 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.  
2. While keeping the programme push buttons RINSE &  
HOLD and INTENSIVE pressed switch on the dishwasher  
by pressing the MAINS ON push button.  
The MAINS ON indicator light comes on.  
At the same time, the indicator lights of the RINSE & HOLD  
and INTENSIVE push buttons start flashing.

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.  
SO528  
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  
Use of detergent  
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.  
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.  
Filling with rinse aid  
Finish Powder recommended for every day use.  
1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise.  
Finish Liquid Gel ideal for every day use. As the gel is extra  
gentle it is recommended for fine bone china.  
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full.  
The indicator (B) will be completely dark.  
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:  
3. Top up the rinse aid when the indicator (B) becomes clear.  
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  
over the lid of the dispenser according to the instructions  
given in the Washing programmes chart.  
BR01  
BR03  
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).  
DE17  
DE02  
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:  
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on  
the dishes after washing.  
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the detergent  
dispenser.  
Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.  
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.  
If detergents in tablet form are used with the QUICK WASH  
programme, it is advisable to put the tablet directly in the  
dishwasher and not in the dispenser or in special tablet  
containers. This ONLY applies to this programme.  
Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor  
washing results, whereas an excessive amount of  
detergent will not improve washing results and is also  
wasteful.  
BR02  
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 programme you can therefore achieve  
the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable  
only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.

Using your appliance  
Loading your appliance  
The upper basket  
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of  
food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing  
the performance.  
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates,  
saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad  
bowls, cups and glasses.  
Do not load very small items which can fall through the  
baskets.  
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.  
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  
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.  
US47  
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.  
UI49  
UI19  
US71  
The cutlery basket  
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can  
rotate freely.  
Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a  
potential hazard.  
These items should only be places in the removable knife  
basket.  
Adjusting the height of the upper basket  
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in  
diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving  
the upper basket to the higher position.  
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  
provided, to be positioned at the rear of the upper basket.  
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.  
RC01  
UI53  
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.  
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 cup racks.  
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking  
together.  
After loading your machine always close the door, as an  
open door can be a hazard.  
For best results we  
recommend you to use the  
cutlery grid provided (if the  
size and dimensions of the  
cutlery allow it).

Using your appliance  
To save energy  
Items not suitable for dishwashers  
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and  
wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.  
The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher  
(unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):  
Do not prewash dishes under running water.  
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts  
- bronze cutlery  
- saucepans with wooden handles  
- aluminium ware  
Select the QUICK WASH programme when dishes are not  
very soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing  
programmes" chart.  
- crystal ware  
- leaded glass  
For best washing results  
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very  
heavily soiled pots and pans.  
- plastic items  
- antique or fine decorated china  
Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a  
dishwasher.  
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.  
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water  
drains off easily.  
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher  
proof should be washed by hand.  
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.  
Certain types of glass can also become opaque after being  
washed several times in a dishwasher.  
A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery and  
stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not wash together.  
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other items.  
Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter and brass tend to  
stain.  
If in doubt check with manufacturer of the item.  
When buying new dishes, ensure that they are dishwasher  
proof.  
For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergents, rinse aid and salt.

This programme, developed for the use of detergents with enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced consumption of  
energy the same cleaning results that would otherwise be obtained only with the 65°C programmes and conventional  
detergents.  
To compensate for the lower temperature, the duration of the programme has been prolonged.  
This is a special programme for quick washing a full load of lightly soiled dishes, glasses and crockery (except pots) so that  
you may re-use them promptly.

Maintenance and cleaning  
Internal cleaning  
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 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.  
The dishwasher must not be used without filters.  
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will  
produce poor washing results.  
Cleaning the filters is vital to ensure correct operation of  
the machine.  
External cleaning  
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....).  
Cleaning the central filter  
(After each wash)  
Scraps of food may accumulate in the drain filter (A) and  
should be removed by rinsing the filter under running water.  
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.  
To remove the drain filter  
- simply pull it out by the handle.  
Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original  
position until it engages.  
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.

Installation instructions  
Any electrical work required to install this appliance  
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or  
competent person.  
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.  
Any plumbing work required to install this appliance  
should be carried out by a qualified plumber or competent  
person.  
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.  
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.  
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a  
drain.  
Water supply connections  
This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water supply.  
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the  
technical specifications.

CS10  
Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average  
mains pressure in your area.  
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.  
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be  
turned either to the left or the right to suit the installation.  
The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.  
Attention!  
Do not use, for the connection, old hoses which have  
been used in another appliance.  
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.  
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent or slow  
down the water supply.  
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  
We advise you therefore to remove it.

hose. This will prevent  
deposits of sand or rust  
clogging the inlet hose filter.
