Hints and tips

To save energy
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing.
If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see “Washing Programmes” chart) so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme.
Do not prewash dishes under running water.

For best washing and drying results
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans.
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-down.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the water drains off easily.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.

Items not suitable for dishwashers
The following items should not be washed in the dishwasher (unless they are sold as dishwasher proof):

• Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or glued parts
• bronze cutlery
• saucepans with wooden handles
• aluminium ware
• crystal ware
• leaded glass
• plastic items
• antique or fine decorated china

Certain types of decoration can discolour when washed in a dishwasher.
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed dishwasher proof should be washed by hand.
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.

Before use

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 a 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,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 2.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted.

(Parts per Million)

0 – 10| 0 – 14| 0 – 140| 1| NO| NO
11 – 27| 15 – 39| 141 – 390| 2| NO| NO
28 – 35| 40 – 50| 400 – 500| 3| YES| NO

50 – 63| 71 – 90| 701 – 900| 5| YES| YES

To adjust the water softener

Level 1
If your water is “level 1” it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.

Levels 3 and 5
(water softener adjustment)

If your water is level 3 or 5, proceed as follows:

• slide out the lower basket and unscrew the cap of the salt container;
• turn the two-position selector anticlockwise from position – to position + with the aid of a blunt knife or screwdriver.

Levels 4 and 5
(adjustment on the machine) If your water is level 4 or 5,open the door and drill membrane (A) on the upper left-hand corner of the machine.
With a water hardness of level 5 both adjustments must be made.

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 (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 a 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.
The salt cap has a refill indicator window in the centre.
A green float is clearly visible when there is salt inside the container, and almost disappears when the salt has finished reminding you to add salt.

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 indicator (B) becomes clear.

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).
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 recommended quantity 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 a little amount of detergent over the lid of the dispenser. Follow the recommended quantity of detergent given in the “Washing programmes” chart.

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 low-alkaline compact powders the environmentally unfriendly components have been replaced by natural enzymes and other more biodegradable substances.
These new compact powders are generally phosphate-free.

Using your appliance

Loading your appliance
Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance.
Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets.
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 upper spray arm 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.
• 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.
• Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the others.

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 rack so that water can reach all surfaces.
Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the cup rack.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

Adjusting the height of the upper basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31 cm in diameter) 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 outward and slide the basket out.
2. Refit the basket in the higher position and replace the stops (A) in their original position.

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 rack.
After loading your machine always close the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

Washing programmes

• Testing programme for EN 50242 (see “Hints for Test Centres”).
• 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.

Operating sequence

1. Check the filters
   Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see “Maintenance and cleaning”).

2. Check that there is rinse aid and salt

3. Load the dishes
   Remove any scraps of food.
   Pull the lower basket out and arrange the saucepans, plates and cutlery in it.
   Pull the upper basket out and arrange the plates, saucers, glasses and cups etc. in it.
   Slide the baskets back into the machine.

4. Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

5. Measure out detergent
   Add the required amount of detergent into the dispenser according to the dosage quantity given in the “Washing programmes” chart.
   Close the detergent dispenser lid.

6. Set the programme
   The selection of a programme occurs with the door partially opened.
   Turn the programme selector dial clockwise until the letter of the programme you wish to select corresponds with the programme marker on the control panel.

7. Start the programme
   Depress the On/Off push button and close the door, the machine will start.
   If you wish to interrupt the washing programme at any time open the door and press this button again.

8. At the end of the washing programme
   At the end of the programme the dishwasher will automatically stop.

9. Switch off the dishwasher
   Switch off the dishwasher by opening the door and pressing the On/Off push button.
   Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
   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.
   In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops.

Important!
Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape.

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.

Cleaning the central filters
(After each wash)
Inspect the central filters (B) and (C) and remove any scraps of food with a brush, under running water.
Filters (B) and (C) are both removed by lifting up the outer one (B) (pulling the central funnel upwards); the smaller filter (C) can be removed by pressing the two tongues (D).
Once cleaned, refit the filters by pressing them down until they click into place.

Cleaning the large filter
(every week)
Clean the large filter (A) on both sides under running water, using a brush.
To take it out, remove the spray arm by pressing the two tongues (E), turn the ring (F) anticlockwise and then slide the whole part out. Refit the filter following the above instructions in reverse order.

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….).

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.

Attention!
Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template
for building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.

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.
• Your local Water Authority will advise you on the average mains pressure in your area.
• 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.
• 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 before connecting the inlet hose. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust clogging the inlet hose filter.
• Do not use, for the connection, old hoses which have been used in another appliance.

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 if necessary with a clip.
2. 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.
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.
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.

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.
