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 4.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener
should be adjusted.

If your water is level 0 it is already soft
and therefore there is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at
level 0 the salt indicator light on the
control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 1 upwards.
The adjustment of the water softener is
possible only with the machine in setting
mode.
To select a different level proceed as
follows:
1. Press "LIGHT" and "DELAY" push buttons
simultaneously for about 5 seconds. In the display
appears a "L" followed by a number which
corresponds to the current level.
2. Press within 5 seconds the "DELAY" push button
as many times as necessary until the required level
appears in the display. The level increases by 1
each time the button is pressed.
3. 5 seconds after this button has last been pressed,
the dishwasher memorises the level selected and
returns to the programme setting mode.

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. 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).
LE
SA LT
SA LZ

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

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.
BR01
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.

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).
Start from position 3.
Gradually 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.

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.
UI48
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.
UI21
The two rear rows of prongs on the lower basket can
be easily lowered to allow you to load pots, pans and
bowls.
To lower the prongs:
- Slightly pull them upward and let them drop down
(see picture).
- To bring them back to the standing position, just pull
them up again.
UI18
10
CES24en
The cutlery basket
Long bladed knives stored in an upright
position are a potential hazard.
These items should only be placed in the
removable knife basket.
Take care when loading or unloading sharp
items such as knives.
Removable knife basket
Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving
knives must be placed horizontally in the removable
knife basket, which is positioned at the rear of the
upper basket.
UI53
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.
Ensure that cutlery is positioned in the compartments
and that soiled surfaces do not touch each other.
For best results use the cutlery grids inserts provided.
Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from
sticking together.
Silver cutlery tends to go black if mixed with steel
cutlery. Place it in the cutlery basket separate from the
others.
UI63
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.
UI62

CES41en
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 cup racks so
that water can reach all surfaces.
Light items (plastic bowls etc.) should be loaded in the
upper basket and arranged so they do not move.
Before closing the door, ensure that the
spray arms can rotate freely.
US29
Adjusting the height of the upper
basket
If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 31
cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket
after moving the upper basket to the higher position.
To move to the higher position proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards until the
mechanism is engaged and the basket is stable.
RC04
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 raised cup racks.
To lower the basket to the original position
proceed as follows:
1. Pull out the basket until it stops.
2. Carefully lift both sides upwards and the allow the
mechanism to drop back slowly, keeping hold of it.
Never lift or lower the basket on one side
only.
After loading your machine always close
the door, as an open door can be a hazard.

CES04en
Use of detergent
Only use detergents specifically designed
for use in dishwashers.
Min = 15 g
Max = 30 g D
If using powder detergents proceed as follows:
1. Open the dispenser lid by pulling the catch (D).
M
M IN
AX
2. Add the detergent according to the instructions
given on the packet.
3. Always close the lid.
DE17
4. If the programme has a prewash add the required
detergent over the lid of the dispenser.
If programme "SID INTENSIVE" is selelcted,
add the detergent for the prewash in the SID
detergent dispenser, located in the centre of
the upper basket.
DE02
DE14
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.
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 50°C.
By choosing the "Bio 50°C" programmes you can
therefore achieve the same cleaning results that would
otherwise be achievable only with 65°C programmes
and conventional detergents.
These new compact powders are generally
phosphate-free.
As phosphates have water softening properties, we
suggest you add salt to the salt container even if the
hardness of your water is as low as 7°TH.
This will avoid lime deposits on crockery and the inner
tub.
13
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.
Select an economic programme when dishes are not
very soiled, following the instructions given in the
"Washing programmes" chart.
Select the half load option if only a few dishes need
washing. Remember to load all the dishes in the
selected basket.
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
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.
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. upsidedown.
Tilt items with convex or concave surfaces so that the
water drains off easily.
Avoid contact between the dishes as far as possible.
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.

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.

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
washing results.
MA12
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. Leave the inside of the machine clean.
Frost precautions
Avoid placing the machine in a location where the
temperature is below 0°C. If this is unavoidable, empty
the machine, close the appliance door, disconnect the
water inlet pipe and empty it.
Moving the machine
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.

Installation instructions
Any electrical work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a
qualified electrician or competent person.
Any plumbing work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a
qualified plumber or competent person.
Remove all packaging before positioning the
machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap
and a drain.
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max.
60°C) or cold water.
Nevertheless we advise a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very
soiled crockery as it shortens the washing
programmes.
Feeding the appliance with a hot water supply (max.
60°C) will allow you to obtain considerably shorter
programmes.
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.
Avoid bends or kinks in the hose which could prevent
or slow down the water supply.
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. This will prevent deposits of sand or rust
clogging the inlet hose filter.
CA17
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted
to the machine’s supply hose is designed to screw
onto either a 3/4" inch gas thread spout, or to a
purpose made quick-coupling tap such as the Pressblock.
