indicator lights of the function buttons 1, 2 and 3 start  
flashing.  
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, Clarke  
degrees, French degrees and mmol/l (millimol per litre).  
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.  
3. Press the function button 1, the indicator lights of function  
buttons 2 and 3 turn off while the indicator light of the button

Filling with dishwasher 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.  
SR14  
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.

G If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains  
rinse aid, it is necessary to deactivate the dosage of rinse  
aid, in order to avoid a double dosage.  
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).  
When the dosage of rinse aid has been deactivated, the  
rinse aid indicator light on the control panel is  
automatically deactivated.  
2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full. The  
maximum level for filling is indicated by "max".  
1. Press the On/Off button. The On/Off indicator light  
illuminates (setting mode).  
If a programme button indicator light is on, this means that  
a washing programme has been set. The programme must  
be cancelled: press simultaneously the function buttons 2  
and 3 for about 2 seconds.  
All the indicator lights will turn off (except for the On/Off  
indicator light and eventually salt and rinse aid indicator  
lights) indicating that the set programme has been  
cancelled and the machine is now in setting mode.  
2. Press simultaneously function buttons 2 and 3, until the  
indicator lights of the function buttons 1, 2 and 3  
start flashing.  
Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.  
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an  
absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next  
wash.  
3. Press the function button 2, the indicator lights of function  
buttons 1 and 3 turn off while the indicator light of the  
function button 2 goes on flashing, at the same time the  
indicator light End of cycle illuminates indicating that the  
dosage of rinse aid is active.  
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.  
4. To deactivate the inflow of rinse aid, press the function  
button 2 again, the indicator light End of cycle turns off,  
indicating that the dosage of rinse aid has been deactivated.  
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  
5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by  
pressing the On/Off button or wait about 60 seconds after

instructions until the indicator light End of cycle illuminates.  
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  
or a bluish film on glassware  
or knife blades.  
Top up the rinse aid when the indicator light on the control  
panel illuminates.

G Before loading the dishes, you should:  
- Remove large left-overs.  
G Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and  
dishes.  
- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans  
G Start the wash programme.  
G 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.  
G 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.  
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes  
are not suitable:  
are of limited suitability:  
- Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or  
mother-of-pearl handles  
- Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically  
marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.  
- Plastic items that are not heat resistant  
- Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently  
- Older cutlery with glued parts that is not  
temperature resistant  
- Silver and aluminium parts have a tendency to discolour  
during washing. Residues, 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.  
- Bonded cutlery items or dishes  
- Pewter or copper items  
- Lead crystal glass  
- Some types of glass can become dull after a large number  
of washes  
- Steel items subject to rusting  
- Wooden platters  
- Items made from synthetic fibres  
Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes.  
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.  
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.  
Forks and spoons should be placed in the removable cutlery  
basket with the handles facing downwards and the knives with  
their handles facing upwards.  
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 grid provided (if the  
size and dimensions of the  
cutlery allow it).

The upper basket  
Use of detergent  
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.  
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.  
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage  
recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.  
For taller items, the cup  
racks can be folded upwards.

Different kinds of detergent  
Detergent tablets  
Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents  
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.  
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).  
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.  
Special advice  
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.  
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:  
G Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser.  
G Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible  
position and run from 1 to 3 normal washing programmes  
without a load.  
G Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the  
hardness of the water in your area.  
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 dosage must be deactivated, in order  
to avoid a double dosage.  
For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergents, rinse aid and salt.

3. Close the dishwasher door  
4. Press the On/Off button  
8. Unloading the dishwasher  
The On/Off indicator light will come on (setting mode).  
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should  
therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from  
the appliance.  
5. Setting and starting the programme  
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.  
Press the 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 start blinking.  
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the  
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become  
cooler than the dishes.  
After about 3 seconds from the last pressure of a button  
the programme starts automatically.  
Once the programme has started the phase indicator lights  
will turn off except for the phase under way.  
When the washing programme has finished, it is  
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the  
water tap turned off.  
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 the  
closure of the door. Until this moment it is possible to  
modify the setting made.  
a) Press On/Off button.  
b) Select a washing programme.  
c) Close the door.  
The programme or the countdown 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 button (in this case all the indicator  
lights turn off). Press the On/Off 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 in progress, press  
simultaneously the function 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.  
(If a new washing programme will be selected, check that  
there is detergent in the detergent dispenser).

Maintenance and 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....).  
Attention!  
Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without  
filters.  
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce  
poor washing results.  
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.  
NEVER try to remove the  
upper spray arm.  
Regular use of Finish Dishwasher Cleaner cleans  
inaccessible parts, eliminates unpleasant food odours and  
helps prevent the build-up of limescale.  
If residues of soil have  
clogged the holes in the  
upper spray arm, remove  
them with a toothpick.  
Cleaning the filters  
The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time.  
Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.  
MA40  
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.  
2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse filter (A),  
a microfilter (B) and a flat filter (C).  
Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter,  
and remove.  
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. Leave the door ajar to prevent the formation of any  
unpleasant smells.  
3. 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.

compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.  
7. Put the flat filter (C) back in the base of the washing  
compartment.  
8. Place the coarse filter (A) in the microfilter (B) and  
press together.

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.  
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.  
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.  
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a  
drain.  
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.  
Fitting under a counter  
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled  
when it is being connected up.  
(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.  
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. The locknut must be correctly fitted  
to avoid water leaks. (Attention! NOT all models of  
dishwashers have fill and drain hoses provided with locknut. In  
this case, this kind of facility is not possible).  
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.  
450  
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.  
IN04  
Proceed as follows:  
Remove the machine’s worktop by unscrewing the two rear  
retaining screws, pull the worktop from the back of the  
machine and slide out the front 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.  
During all operations that involve accessibility to internal  
components the dishwasher has to be unplugged.  
Be sure that once the appliance has been installed, it is easily  
accessible for the consumer service department.  
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 outlet hose connection  
Electrical connection  
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following  
ways:  
This appliance must be earthed.  
The manufacturer declines any responsibility should this  
safety measure not be observed.  
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.  
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.  
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved  
plastic guide (if provided with the machine).  
Important  
The wires on the mains lead are coloured in accordance with  
the following code:  
3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal  
diameter 4 cm.  
Green and Yellow - Earth  
Blue  
- Neutral  
- Live  
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm  
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the  
dishwasher.  
Brown  
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.  
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.  
Proceed as follows:  
1. Connect the Green and Yellow (earth) wire to the terminal  
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.  
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  
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.  
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.  
E
L
N
CS18  
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.  
CE04  
Attention!  
The plug moulded onto the lead incorporates a 13amp BSI362  
fuse. Only ASTA or BSI fuses should be used.  
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.  
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.
