Before use Before using your dishwasher for the first time: ☞ ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the installation instructions ☞ remove all packaging from inside the appliance ☞ set the water softener ☞ fill the salt container ☞ 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.
Filling with salt Salt must be used from level 2 upward. Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwasher. All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in dishwasher, specifically table salt, will damage the water softener. Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing programmes (not the Rinse and Hold programme).
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. Filling with Rinse Aid: 1. Open the container by turning the lid (A) anticlockwise. A 2. Add the rinse aid until the container is completely full (approx. 110 ml). The indicator (B) will be completely dark.
Use of detergent Only use detergents specifically designed for use in dishwashers. D 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.
Using your appliance Loading your appliance Before placing dishes in the machine, remove any scraps of food, to avoid clogging the filters and consequently reducing the performance. Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets. Open the door and slide out the baskets to load the dishes. The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates (up to 27 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cutlery etc.
The cutlery basket Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a potential hazard. Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carvings knives must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. Take care when loading or unloading sharp items such as knives. Cutlery should be placed in the removable cutlery basket with the handles facing downwards. If the handles protrude from the bottom of the basket, obstructing the lower spray arm, load the cutlery with the handles facing upwards.
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; Glasses with long stems can be placed upside down in the raised cup racks. Larger plates (dinner plates up to 24 cm in diameter) must be loaded in the front part of the upper basket. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.
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): 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.
Washing programmes Programme * POWER WASH 65°C Heavy soil. Crockery, cutlery pots and pans NORMAL WASH 65°C Normal soil. Crockery and cutlery ** ECO Normal soil. Crockery and cutlery WASH RINSE AND HOLD * Degree of soil and type of load Any. Partial load (to be completed later in the day).
Operating sequence 1. Check the filters 8. Start the programme Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see cleaning instructions). Depress the On/Off pushbutton. The On/Off indicator light comes on and the machine will start. 2. Check that there is rinse aid and salt 9. At the end of the washing programme At the end of the washing programme the dishwasher stops automatically. The On/Off indicator light remains on until the On/Off pushbutton is depressed. 3.
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.
External cleaning Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene etc....). Prolonged periods of nonoperation 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.
