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. 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.

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.
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. Mix spoons with other cutlery to prevent them from sticking together. 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.
Adjusting the height of the upper basket If washing very large plates (over 27 cm and up to 32 cm in diameter) you can load them in the lower basket after moving the upper basket to the higher position. Attention! Never lift or lower the basket on one side only. 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.
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. Do not prewash dishes under running water. Select the QUICK A 30 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 the dishes in both baskets.

Operating sequence 1. Check the filters 8a. Setting and starting the programme without DELAY START Ensure they are clean and properly positioned (see "Maintenance and cleaning"). 2. Press the push button corresponding to the required programme: the indicator light corresponding to the programme illuminates and the phase indicator lights for that programme start flashing. Select, if required, the HALF LOAD option.
During the countdown the only indicator lights illuminated are the programme light and the light of the number of hours to the start of the programme. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the ONOFF push button. Wait 15/20 minutes before opening the dishwasher’s door; in this way you will avoid burning yourself removing the dishes and avoid also the damage of the nearby furniture caused by the escape of steam.
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.
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.
Something not working Certain problems are due to lack of simple maintenance or oversights, which can be solved easily without calling out an engineer. The dishwasher is fitted with a number of alarm systems which can help you to quickly determine the cause of any problems. The dishwasher will not start or stops during operation. All push buttons are inoperative except for the ON-OFF push button.
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). Service and spare parts Prod.No. ........ Ser. No. ......... Mod. ........
