This information has been provided in the interest of your safety.

To select a different level ensure that the dishwasher is off and then proceed as follows: 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.
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.
Using your appliance Loading your appliance The upper basket 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 upper basket is designed for plates (dessert plates, saucers, dinner plates of up to 25 cm in diameter), salad bowls, cups and glasses.
Using your appliance 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. Do not prewash dishes under running water. Select the QUICK WASH programme when dishes are not very soiled, following the instructions given in the "Washing programmes" chart.
Washing programmes Type of load Degree of soil Required push buttons RINSE & HOLD Any. Partial load (to be completed later in the day). MAINS ON + RINSE & HOLD 65° INTENSIVE Heavy soil.
Operating sequence 1. Check the filters 9. To cancel a programme in progress Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). 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 MAINS ON indicator light will remain on once the programme has been cancelled. It is now possible to select a new washing programme. 2.
Maintenance and cleaning 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. 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.
Something not working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer.
If after all these checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Force Centre, quoting the model and serial number. This information can be found on the rating plate located on the right hand side of the dishwasher door (see picture). Prod.No. ........ Ser. No. ......... Mod. ........
