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 6. Run a Rinse and Hold programme.
To select a different level ensure that the dishwasher is off and then proceed as follows:
1. Press INTENSIVE SID 80I and NORMAL programme push buttons simultaneously. 2. While keeping the programme push buttons INTENSIVE SID 80I and NORMAL pressed switch on the dishwasher by pressing the ON-OFF push button. The ON-OFF indicator light comes on. At the same time, the indicator lights of the INTENSIVE SID 80I and NORMAL push buttons start flashing.
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 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. The dishwasher is factory set at level 3. If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be adjusted. Water hardness Level Clarke degrees <- - - - 63 French degrees
3. Press the INTENSIVE SID 80I push button, the indicator light of the NORMAL push button turns off, while the indicator light of the INTENSIVE SID 80I push button remains fixed for about 5 seconds, after this it starts flashing indicating the current level of the water softener.

(Parts per Million)

Use of salt NO YES YES YES YES

<- - - - 90

< - - - - 900
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.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes made by the INTENSIVE SID 80I indicator light, that alternates 5 seconds off with a number of flashes, this for about 60 seconds. Example: 1 flash 2 flashes 3 flashes 4 flashes 5 flashes = = = = = level 1 level 2 level 3 level 4 level 5

4. To change the level, press the INTENSIVE SID 80I 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 80I programme push button once, level 4 is selected. if the current level is 5, by pressing the INTENSIVE SID 80I programme push button once, level 1 is selected. The INTENSIVE SID 80I indicator light remains off for about 5 seconds after which it starts flashing indicating the new level selected. 5. To memorise the new level, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON-OFF push button.

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 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.

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 rinse aid indicator light on the control panel illuminates.

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). 3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full. Do not worry if water over SR06 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. 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.

If rinse aid refilling is necessary, the rinse aid 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. 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. It is possible to deactivate the rinse aid indicator light (see the following instructions). By default the rinse aid indicator light is active.

To deactivate the rinse aid indicator light ensure that the dishwasher is off and then proceed as follows:
3. Press the NORMAL push button, the corresponding indicator light keeps flashing while the indicator light of the INTENSIVE SID 80I push button turns off. At the same time the indicator light end of programme starts to flash. 6

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.
4. Press the NORMAL push button again, the end of programme indicator light turns off, this means that the rinse aid indicator light has been deactivated. 5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON-OFF push button. To reactivate the rinse aid indicator light follow the same process until the end of programme indicator light starts to flash.
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D). 2. Add the detergent according to the instructions 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 the required detergent in the SID detergent dispenser, located in the centre of the upper basket.

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.
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. If detergents in tablet form are used with the QUICK A 30I programme, it is advisable to put the tablet directly in the dishwasher and not in the dispenser or in special tablet containers. This ONLY applies to this programme. 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 50C. By choosing the ECONOMY programmes you can therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would otherwise be achievable only with 65C programmes and conventional detergents. 7

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. For best results we recommend you to use the cutlery grids provided (if the size and dimensions of the cutlery allow it).

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 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 cup racks. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the US47 upper basket and arranged so they do not move.

The cutlery basket

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. These items should only be places in the removable knife basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives.
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. Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

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.

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

To save energy

Place dishes in the machine immediately after every meal and wait until the dishwasher is full before washing. Do not prewash dishes under running water. Select the QUICK A 30I programme when dishes are not very soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing programmes" chart.
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

For best washing 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.
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.

For best results we recommend the use of Finish detergents, rinse aid and salt.

Ideal for washing a complete load of 12 place settings with normal soil. Characterised by a duration of about 80 minutes and a washing temperature of 70C. 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.
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 60C. 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.
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 65C programmes and conventional detergents. To compensate for the lower temperature, the duration of the programme has been prolonged.

Operating sequence

1. Check the filters
Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). Press the push button corresponding to the required programme: the indicator light corresponding to the programme illuminates and the phase indicator lights for that programme start flashing. The start of the countdown will occur after about 6 seconds from the last pressure of a programme push button. The countdown will decrease with step of 3 hours and you are informed of this by the indicator lights of the hours. During the countdown the only indicator lights illuminated are the programme light and the light of the number of hours to the start of the programme. Once the delayed time has elapsed the programme will start automatically. It is possible to stop a countdown in progress or before it starts, simply pressing the DELAY START push button until the indicator lights of the hours are off.

2. Press the ON-OFF push button
The ON-OFF indicator light will come on.
3. Check that there is rinse aid and salt
The corresponding indicator lights will illuminate if refilling is necessary.

4. 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.
9. To cancel a programme in progress
A programme in progress can be cancelled at any time. Press for about 3 seconds the push button of the running programme until all indicator lights are off. Only the ON-OFF indicator light will remain on once the programme has been cancelled. It is now possible to select a new washing programme.
5. Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely 6. Measure out detergent
Add the required amount of detergent into the dispenser according to the recommended quantity given in the Washing programmes chart. Close the detergent dispenser lid.
10. At the end of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop and the phase indicator light end of programme will come on. The indicator light of the programme just ended will remain on. The dishwasher has finished the programme only when the end of programme indicator light is illuminated. If you do not wait for the end of the programme it will not be possible to start a new programme if first you do not cancel the previous. (For instructions on how to cancel a programme see point 9) Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ON-OFF push button and open the door. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and 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. Important! 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. Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape. When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

7. Close the dishwasher door 8a. Setting and starting the programme without DELAY START
Press the push button corresponding to the required programme: the indicator light corresponding to the programme illuminates and the phase indicator lights for that programme start flashing. The start of the programme will occur after about 6 seconds from the last pressure of a programme push button, in this time it is possible to change programme simply pressing the push button of another programme. Once the programme has started the phase indicator lights will turn off except for the phase under way. It is possible to interrupt the programme by: q opening the door q pressing the ON-OFF (in this case all the indicator lights turn off) Close the door again or press the ON-OFF, the programme will start from the point in which it was interrupted.
8b. Setting and starting the programme with DELAY START
The setting of the delay start occurs before selecting the programme. Press the DELAY START push button and selected the desired time (3, 6 or 9 hours) until the indicator light corresponding to the chosen hours flashes.

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 65C 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. 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.
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. Once cleaned, refit the filter by pushing it back to its original position until it engages.

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 MA12 washing results.

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.).
Cleaning the large filter
(Every week) If necessary clean the large filter (B) on both sides under running water, using a brush. To remove the large filter 1. Remove the spray arm by pulling it upwards on one side. 2. Turn the column (C) anticlockwise by 90 and then slide out the filter. 3. Once cleaned refit it following the above instructions in reverse order. 4. Ensure the filter is in its original position, the handle of the drain filter should be pointing towards the front of the appliance.
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 0C. If this is unavoidable, empty the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the water inlet pipe and empty it.

Moving the machine

90 B C
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.

Something not working

Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. The dishwasher is fitted with a number of alarm systems which can help you to quickly determine the cause of any problems, such as the dishwasher will not start or stops during operation, all push buttons are inoperative except for the ON-OFF push button, or the indicator light of the programme underway and one or more of the phase indicator lights (washing, drying, end of programme) are flashing. Press the ON-OFF push button to switch off the dishwasher and carry out the following suggested corrective actions listed below. Once the checks have been carried out switch on the dishwasher and start a washing programme, if the fault code reappears, contact your local Service Force Centre.

Disposal

Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All packaging materials can be recycled. Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material. >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFCfree). >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips. Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling. As and when you cease to use your dishwasher and withdraw it from service, your should render it unserviceable before having it disposed of. Warning! Children at play could lock themselves in your dishwasher or otherwise endanger their lives. Therefore cut off the power supply cable and make the door closing device unusable to prevent children from being trapped inside. For the disposing of the appliance please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the costs, dispose it for you.

Installation

Check your dishwasher for any transport damage. Never connect a damaged machine. If your dishwasher is damaged, you should contact your supplier. For safety reasons it is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt to modify this product in any way. Any electrical and plumbing work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified and competent person. Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not stand on the electrical supply cable. The sides of the dishwasher must never be drilled to prevent damage to hydraulic components.

Child safety

This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product. Packaging parts may be dangerous for children, who could even be suffocated! You should therefore keep all packaging well away from children. The water in your dishwasher is not for drinking. Detergent residues may still be present in your machine. Keep children well away from your dishwasher when the door is open. Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children's reach.
Economical and ecological dishwashing
Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted. Do not pre-wash under running water. Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soiling on the dishes. Do not use more detergent, special salt and rinse aid than is recommended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of the respective product.

Prior to using for the first time
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. 6. Run a "Rinse and Hold" programme.

Setting electronically

The dishwasher is factory set at level 3. If its necessary to set a new level, proceed as follows. 1. With the dishwasher switched off press function push buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously. 2. While keeping the push buttons 1 and 2 pressed switch on the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. The On/Off indicator light comes on. At the same time, the indicator lights of push buttons 1 and 2 start flashing.
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 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. The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water hardness switch and electronically, using the function push buttons on the control panel. If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use salt.
3. Press push button 1, the indicator light of push button 2 turns off, while the indicator light of push button 1 remains fixed for about 5 seconds, after this it starts flashing indicating the current level of the water softener.

Setting manually

1. Open the dishwasher door. 2. Remove the lower basket from the dishwasher. 3. Turn the water hardness switch to position 1 or 2 (see table). 4. Replace the lower basket. The dishwasher is factory set at position 2.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes made by the indicator light of push button 1, that alternates 5 seconds off with a number of flashes, this for about 60 seconds. Example: 1 flash = 2 flashes = 3 flashes = 4 flashes = 5 flashes = level 1 level 2 level 3 level 4 level 5
4. To change the level, press push button 1. Each time the push button is pressed the level changes. Example: if the current level is 3, by pressing push button 1 once, level 4 is selected. if the current level is 5, by pressing push button 1 once, level 1 is selected. The indicator light of push button 1 remains off for about 5 seconds after which it starts flashing indicating the new level selected. 5. To memorise the new level, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. Water hardness Clarke degrees 50 - - - - 21 <6 French degrees

Filling with salt

Special salt can be added in one of two ways:

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.
If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains salt, the detergent including the salt is placed in the detergent compartment. - In this case the water softener must manually be set to 1 and electronically to 1 to ensure that the special salt is taken from the detergent container only. If you are using dishwasher detergent and salt separately, the special salt is to be put into the salt container. - In this case the water softener must manually be set to 1 or 2 and electronically between 1 and 5 (depending on the water hardness in your area) to ensure that the special salt is taken from the salt container only.
Rinse aid can be added in one of two ways:
If you are using dishwasher detergent that already contains rinse aid, the detergent including the rinse aid is placed in the detergent compartment. - In this case the rinse aid compartment must be empty and the rinse aid indicator light deactivated. If in the rinse aid dispenser there is still rinse aid you must wait until it has finished before using detergent that contains rinse aid. If you are using dishwasher detergent and rinse aid separately, the rinse aid is to be put into the rinse aid dispenser. - In this case the rinse aid dosage must be set in position from 1 to 6 (see "Adjusting the dose") and the rinse aid indicator light activated.
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 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.

Filling with rinse aid

(Rinse aid dispenser type A)
1. Open the container by pressing the release button (A). 2. Fill with rinse aid exactly up to the level marked "MAX".

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.

LE SA LT SA LZ SA L SE

Ensure that the lid is closed after every refill.

Adjusting the dose

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. Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt, this is quite normal. 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. 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). Increase the dose if there are drops of water or lime spots on the dishes after washing. The dose is factory set in position 4. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
(Rinse aid dispenser type B)
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.
To deactivate the rinse aid indicator light proceed as follows:
(the dishwasher must be switched off) 1. Press function push buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously. 2. While keeping the function push buttons 1 and 2 pressed switch on the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. The On/Off indicator light comes on. At the same time, the indicator lights of push buttons 1 and 2 start flashing.
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. The dose is factory set in position 5. Reduce it if there are sticky whitish streaks on the dishes.
3. Press function push button 2, the corresponding indicator light keeps flashing while the indicator light of push button 1 turns off. At the same time the rinse aid indicator light starts to flash.

4. Press push button 2 again, the rinse aid indicator light turns off, this means that the rinse aid indicator light has been deactivated. 5. To memorise the operation, switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button. To reactivate the rinse aid indicator light follow the same process until the rinse aid indicator light starts to flash.
Clean up any rinse aid spilt during filling with an absorbent cloth to avoid excess foaming during the next wash. 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. Top up the rinse aid when the rinse aid indicator light on the control panel illuminates. It is possible to deactivate the rinse aid indicator light (see the following instructions).

In daily use

q q q q
Check if its necessary to refill with special salt or rinse aid Load cutlery and dishes into the dishwasher. Fill with dishwasher detergent. Select a wash programme suitable for the cutlery and dishes. Start the wash programme.
Loading cutlery and dishes
Sponges, household cloths and any object that can absorb water may not be washed in the dishwasher.
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.
Before loading the dishes, you should: - Remove large left-overs. - Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
For washing in the dishwasher the following cutlery/dishes are not suitable: - Cutlery with wooden, horn, china or mother-of-pearl handles - Plastic items that are not heat resistant - Older cutlery with glued parts that is not temperature resistant - Bonded cutlery items or dishes - Pewter or copper items - Lead crystal glass - Steel items subject to rusting - Wooden platters - Items made from synthetic fibres are of limited suitability: - Only wash stoneware in the dishwasher if it is specifically marked as being dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer. - Glazed patterns may fade if machine washed frequently - 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. - Some types of glass can become dull after a large number of washes

Use of "3 in 1" combi detergent tablets

General advice

These products are tablets with 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. 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. 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).

Fill with detergent

(Detergent dispenser type A)
1. If the lid is closed: press release button (1). The lid springs open. 2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: 20 = approximately 20 ml of detergent 30 = approximately 30 ml of detergent

Special advice

When using combination products, the rinse-aid and salt indicators are no longer useful. It may be helpful therefore to switch the rinse aid off - please note that only some dishwashers have this facility - and select the lowest possible setting for water hardness. For more information please refer to the instruction manual. If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system we advise that you:
Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser. Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible position and run a normal washing programme without a load. Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the hardness of the water in your area.
3. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.
1. If the lid is closed: open the dispenser by pulling the catch (D). The lid springs open. 2. Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent. The marking indicates the dosing levels: Min = approximately 15 g of detergent Max = approximately 30 g of detergent 3. Close the lid and press until it locks in place.

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. The use of 50C 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 50C wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved using 65C programmes.

For all programmes with prewash, an additional detergent dose (5 g) must be placed into the SID. This detergent will take effect during the prewash phase

Detergent tablets

Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For this reason some detergent tablets cannot develop their full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use normal programmes with prewash when using detergent tablets.

RINSE HOLD

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 60C. 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. 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 65C programmes and conventional detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of the programme has been extended. 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.

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. Remove all packaging before positioning the machine. If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain. Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in another appliance. 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.
Water outlet hose connection Fitting under a counter
(kitchen worktop or sink) By removing the machines 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 end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways: 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. 2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic guide provided. 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 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.

Proceed as follows: Remove the machines 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.

Water supply connections

This dishwasher must be plumbed into a cold water supply. 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. 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. The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when it is being connected up. 17
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 Blue Brown - Earth - Neutral - 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.

E 13 A N L

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. To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug. Important! The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been installed. In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please contact your local Service Force Centre.

Hints for test centres

Testing in accordance with EN 60704 must be carried out with appliance fully loaded and using the test programme (see "Washing programmes" chart).
