dishes.  
G Start the wash programme.  
- Soften remnants of burnt food in pans  
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. 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.  
- 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.  
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  
UI89  
UI90  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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).  
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.  
RC01  
After loading your machine always close the door, as an  
open door can be a hazard.  
US47  
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.  
US71  
Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can  
rotate freely.  
For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergents, rinse aid and salt.

(1) Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres"). 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 the lower temperature, the duration of  
washing and drying have been extended.  
(2) Ideal for washing crockery and cutlery of breakfast and dinner (fresh soil).  
Characterised by a duration of about 30 minutes and a washing temperature of 60°C.  
The time value is approximate and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by the variations  
of the power supply.  
This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast  
and dinner crockery and cutlery.  
(3) The consumption values are intended as a guide and depends on the pressure and the temperature of the water and also by  
the variations of the power supply.

Operating sequence  
1. Check that the baskets have been  
loaded correctly and that the spray  
arms can rotate freely  
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.  
2. Turn on the water tap  
When the washing programme has finished, it is  
recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the  
water tap turned off.  
3. Close the dishwasher door  
4. Set and start of the programme  
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.  
If necessary select the temperature of the main wash  
according to the instructions in the "Washing programmes"  
chart (see "Required main wash temperature push  
button").  
Depress the On/Off push button.  
The On/Off indicator light will come on and the machine  
will start.  
5. Interrupting a washing programme  
in progress  
Interrupt 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  
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 the On/Off  
indicator light turns off). Press the On/Off push button  
again; the programme will start from the point in  
which it was interrupted.  
6. End of the washing programme  
The dishwasher will automatically stop.  
The On/Off indicator light remains on until the On/Off  
push button is depressed.  
Only the On/Off integrated indicator light will remain on.  
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push  
button.  
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 door of the  
dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become  
cooler than the dishes.

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.  
600  
IN05  
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.

2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher.  
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.  
3. Turn the water hardness switch until the required level (see  
table) corresponds with the marker .  
4. Replace the lower basket.  
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.  
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German  
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.

Filling with salt  
Rinse aid  
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse, ensuring  
thorough rinsing, and spot and streak free drying.  
Only use salt specifically designed for use in  
dishwashers.  
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.  
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

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).

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).  
The salt container will require topping up periodically.  
Increase the dose if there  
are drops of water or lime  
spots on the dishes after  
washing.  
According to the model of dishwasher, you are reminded  
of this by:  
A) 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.

when the salt has finished.  
2. Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level indicator marked  
"max".  
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.

Adjusting the dose  
Use of detergent  
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).  
Only use detergents specifically designed for use in  
dishwashers.  
We recommend the use of Finish detergents.  
Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on  
the dishes after washing.  
Using no more then the correct amount of detergent  
contributes to reducing pollution.  
The dose is factory set in  
position 5.  
Prior to the start of a wash programme (not for the "Rinse and  
Hold" programme). The detergent is released during the  
washing phase.  
Reduce it if there are sticky  
whitish streaks on the dishes.  
Please observe the manufacturer’s dosing and storage  
recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging.

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 a normal washing programme 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 compartment must be empty, in order  
to avoid a double dosage.  
If in the rinse aid compartment there is still rinse aid you must  
wait until it has finished before using these kind of detergents.

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....).  
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 and press  
together.  
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse  
aid dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.  
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.  
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.  
Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used  
without filters.  
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will  
produce poor washing results.  
Cleaning the filters  
NEVER try to remove the  
upper spray arm.  
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.  
If residues of soil have  
clogged the holes in the  
upper spray arm, remove  
them with a toothpick.  
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 models filter system comprises only a  
coarse filter (A), a microfilter (C) and a flat filter (D).

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 outlet hose connection  
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following  
ways:  
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.  
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 possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a  
drain.  
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved  
plastic guide provided (if provided with the machine).  
Water supply connections  
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 50°) or cold  
water (See "Technical specifications" - Instruction book part 2).  
Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.  
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled  
crockery as it shortens the washing programmes a lot.  
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  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.
