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 half a litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt. 5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
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 (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.
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. A 3.
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. UI57 The lower basket The lower basket is designed to take saucepans, lids, plates, salad bowls, cutlery etc.
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. Arrange items on and underneath the fold-down cup rack 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. US63 Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.
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.
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. If necessary run the Rinse and Hold programme (see "Washing Programmes" chart) so that any food scraps do not become caked on the dishes while you are waiting to run the complete wash programme. Do not prewash dishes under running water.
Washing programmes Programme * POWER WASH 65° Degree of soil and type of load Heavy soil. Crockery, cutlery, pots and pans ECO WASH RINSE & HOLD * Required push button On/Off A Recommended quantity of detergent wash 20 g Cycle description prewash 5g Cold prewash Main wash up to 65°C 1 cold rinse 1 hot rinse Drying B On/Off 25 g / Main wash up to 65°C 1 cold rinse 1 hot rinse Drying Light soil.
Operating sequence 1. Check the filters 10. At the end of the washing programme Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). 2. 3. At the end of the programme the dishwasher will automatically stop. Check that there is rinse aid and salt 11. Switch off the dishwasher Switch off the dishwasher by opening the door and pressing the On/Off push button. Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
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 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.
