Before use Adjustment on the machine Before using your dishwasher for the first time: A 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. A 1 2 AA04 Setting the water softener Attention! Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
Rinse aid Use of detergent 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. 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.
Hints and tips To save energy 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. For best washing and drying results Before loading, remove all scraps of food and soak very heavily soiled pots and pans.
Maintenance and cleaning Internal cleaning External 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.

The upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 24 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses. Do not load very small items which can fall through the baskets. Arrange items on and underneath the cup racks so that water can reach all surfaces.

Simply unscrew the two rear retaining screws, move the top to the required position and then retighten the screws.
