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 1 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.

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 be sure that  
the dishwasher is off and then proceed  
as follows:  
1. Press INTENSIVE SID 80 and NORMAL  
programme push buttons simultaneously.  
2. While keeping the programme push buttons  
INTENSIVE SID 80 and NORMAL pressed  
switch on the dishwasher by pressing the  
ON-OFF push button.  
SO362  
The ON-OFF indicator light comes on.  
At the same time, also the indicator light of the  
INTENSIVE SID 80 comes on and remains fixed  
for about 5 seconds, after this it starts flashing  
indicating the current level of the water softener.  
6
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The current level is indicated by the number of  
flashes made by the INTENSIVE SID 80 indicator  
light, that alternates 5 seconds off with a number of  
flashes, this for about 60 seconds.  
Example:  
1 flash  
= level 1  
2 flashes = level 2  
3 flashes = level 3  
4 flashes = level 4  
5 flashes = level 5  
3. To change the level, press the INTENSIVE SID 80  
programme push button. Each time the push  
button is pressed the level changes.  
Example:  
if the current level is 3, by pressing the  
INTENSIVE SID 80 programme push button once,  
level 4 is selected.  
The INTENSIVE SID 80 indicator light remains off  
for about 5 seconds after which it starts flashing  
indicating the new level selected.  
4. To memorise the new level, switch off the  
dishwasher by pressing the ON-OFF push button.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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 1 litre of water inside the container (this  
is necessary only before filling with salt for  
the first time).  
SALET  
SAL  
SALZ  
SEL  
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.  
SR06  
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.

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)

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 rinse aid indicator  
light on the control panel illuminates.

If rinse aid refilling is necessary, the rinse  
aid indicator light will illuminate only in

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).

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.  
UI48  
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.  
UI21  
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.  
UI85  
UI18

The cutlery basket  
Long bladed knives stored in an upright  
position are a potential hazard.  
These items should only be placed in the  
removable knife basket.  
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.  
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.  
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from  
sticking together.  
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.  
UI62  
For best results we recommend you to use the  
cutlery grids provided (if the size and dimensions of  
the cutlery allow it).  
UI63  
The upper basket  
The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert  
plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 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 raised cup racks.  
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in  
the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.  
US47  
Before closing the door, ensure that the  
spray arms can rotate freely.  
11  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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  
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.  
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:  
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.  
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the  
mechanism is engaged and the basket is stable.  
RC04  
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 lower the basket to the original position  
proceed as follows:  
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.  
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and the allow the  
mechanism to drop back slowly, keeping hold of it.  
Never lift or lower the basket on one side  
only.  
After loading your machine always close  
the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

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.  
Min = 15 g  
Max = 30 g  
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:  
D
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).  
2. Add the detergent according to the instructions  
given in the Washing programmes chart.  
X
I N  
A
M
M
As all detergents are not the same, you should  
also consult the instructions on the packet.  
3. Always close the lid.  
DE17  
4. If the programme has a prewash add the  
required detergent in the SID detergent  
dispenser, located in the centre of the upper  
basket.  
If using detergent in tablets proceed as follows:  
1. For all programmes; place 1 tablet inside the  
detergent dispenser.  
2. Always close the lid.  
DE14  
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 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 ECONOMY programmes you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would  
otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes and conventional detergents.

Hints and tips  
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  
Select the QUICK A 30 programme when dishes are  
not very soiled, following the instructions given in the  
"Washing programmes" chart.  
- bronze cutlery  
- saucepans with wooden handles  
- aluminium ware  
Select the HALF LOAD option if only a few dishes  
need washing. Remember to load the dishes in both  
baskets.  
- crystal ware  
- leaded glass  
- plastic items  
- antique or fine decorated china  
For best washing results  
Certain types of decoration can discolour when  
washed in a dishwasher.  
Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak  
very heavily soiled pots and pans.  
Crystal-ware and plastic objects, if not guaranteed  
dishwasher proof should be washed by hand.  
Arrange saucepans, cups and glasses etc. upside-  
down.  
Certain types of glass can also become opaque  
after being washed several times in a dishwasher.  
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that  
the water drains off easily.  
A chemical reaction can occur between silver cutlery  
and stainless steel cutlery. As a precaution, do not  
wash together.  
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.  
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.

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 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 remove the drain filter  
- simply pull it out by the handle.  
A

Check that the SID is not clogged with detergent  
residue. If necessary rinse it under running water  
after having removed it from the basket by twisting it  
anticlockwise and pulling it upwards.  
Fasten it back onto the support by turning it  
clockwise.  
Never use your dishwasher without the  
SID dispenser.  
Since SID also ensures correct distribution  
of the water to the upper spray arm,  
running the dishwasher without it will  
impair the washing results.  
MA12  
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....).

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.

Installation instructions  
Any electrical work required to install  
this appliance should be carried out by a  
qualified electrician or competent  
person.  
Any plumbing work required to install  
this appliance should be carried out by a  
qualified plumber or competent person.  
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.  
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.  
Do not use, for the connection, old hoses which  
have been used in another appliance.  
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.

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  
1
2
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  
CS13  
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.  
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.  
+ 2 m max  
CS14  
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.
