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 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.  
* factory setting  
If your water is "level 0" it is already soft and therefore  
there is no need to use salt. (In this case the salt refill  
indicator light will remain illuminated).  
The dishwasher is factory set at level 2.  
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener  
should be adjusted.

Filling with salt  
If your water is "level 0" it is already soft and therefore  
there is no need to use salt. (In this case the salt refill  
indicator light will remain illuminated).  
Salt must be used from "level 1" upward.  
On ly u se salt specifically design ed for  
u se in dish wash ers.  
All ot h er t ypes of salt n ot specifically  
design ed for u se in dish wash er,  
especially t able salt , will dam age t h e  
wat er soft en er.  
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 about 1 litre of water inside the container,  
or until it is full (this is necessary only before  
filling with salt for the first time).  
T
SAL  
3 . Then using the funnel provided, pour in the salt  
until the container is full (approx. 1.5 - 1.8 kg).  
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.  
SR07  
5 . Screw on the cap tightly.  
The salt container will require topping up periodically.  
You are reminded of this by the "Salt refill indicator  
light" on the control panel which comes on when the salt  
has finished.

Rinse aid  
Rinse aid is automatically added during the last rinse,  
ensuring thorough rinsing, 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.  
Fillin g wit h Rin se Aid:  
1 . Open the container by turning the lid (A)  
anticlockwise.

2 . Add the rinse aid until the container is  
completely full (approx. 110 ml). The indicator  
(B) will be completely dark.

Do not put liquid detergent in the rinse aid department.  
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an  
absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next  
wash.  
BR03  
Adju st in g t h e 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). (Start from position 3). Gradually  
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  
On ly u se det ergen t s specifically  
design ed for u se in dish wash ers.  
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 is it recommended for fine bone china.  
To fill t h e dish wash er wit h det ergen t  
proceed as follows:  
1 . Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).  
D
2 . Add the detergent according to the  
recommendations in the programme chart. As  
all detergents are not the same, you should  
also consult the instructions on the packet.  
To help correctly dose the right amount of  
detergent, inside the container there are two  
reference marks:  
M A X  
M I N  
DE07  
- MIN  
= 15 ml  
= 30 ml  
- MAX  
3 . Always close the lid.  
4 . If the programme has a prewash add the  
required detergent in the "SID" located in the centre  
of the upper basket.  
Insufficient quantities of detergent will produce poor  
washing results, whereas an excessive amount of  
detergent will not improve washing results and is also  
wasteful.  
DE14  
Using no more than the correct amount also contributes  
to reducing pollution.

Com pact detergents with  
enzym es  
In these compact powders the environmently 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" programmes you can therefore  
achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise  
be achievable only with 65°C programmes and  
conventional detergents.  
For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergents, rinse aid and salt.

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 n ot load very sm all it em s wh ich  
can fall t h rou gh t h e bask et s.  
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 (up to 27 cm in diameter), 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.  
UI39  
IEC 436 / DIN 44990  
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can be  
easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and  
bowls.  
To lower the prongs:  
Slightly pull them upward and let them drop  
down (see picture)  
To bring them back to the standing position, just  
pull them up again.

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 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.  
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the  
upper basket and arranged so they do not move.  
Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down cup  
racks so that water can reach all surfaces. For taller  
items, the cup racks can be folded upwards. Long-stem  
glasses can then be suspended from the prongs of the  
cup racks.

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 raised cup racks.

To save energy  
Place dishes in the machine immediately after every  
meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before  
washing.  
Item s not suitable for  
dishwashers:  
Th e followin g it em s sh ou ld n ot be  
wash ed in t h e dish wash er (u n less t h ey  
are sold as dish wash er proof):  
If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see  
"Washing Programmes" chart on the following page),  
so that any food scraps do not become caked on the  
dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash  
programme.  
- Cutlery with wooden or horn handles or  
glued parts  
- bronze cutlery  
- saucepans with wooden handles  
- aluminium ware  
Do not prewash dishes under running water.  
- 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.  
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed  
dishwasher proof should be washed by hand.  
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the  
water drains off easily.  
Certain types of glass can also become opaque  
after being washed several times in a dishwasher.  
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.  
A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery  
and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not  
wash together.  
You will improve drying results by leaving the  
dishwasher door ajar for at least 15-30 minutes as  
soon as the programme finishes.  
Iron and cast iron objects can rust and stain other  
items.  
Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in  
this way they will be cooler and the drying will be  
improved.  
Aluminium tends to go black, copper, pewter  
and brass tend to stain.  
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.

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 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.  
To rem ove t h e drain filt er:  
simply pull it out by the handle.

Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its
