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 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill
with salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser
6. Run a Rinse and Hold programme.
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 3.
If this level is not suitable for your area the softener should be
adjusted.
If your water is level 1 it is already soft and therefore there
is no need to use salt.
With the setting of the water softener at level 1 the salt
indicator light on the control panel will always remain off.
Use salt from level 2 upwards.
From level 2 upwards, if salt refilling is necessary, the salt
indicator light will illuminate only in setting mode and at
the end of the washing programme.
During the run of the programme it will remain off.
To select a different level ensure that the
dishwasher is off and then proceed as
follows:
1. Press INTENSIVE SID 80 I and NORMAL programme push
buttons simultaneously.
2. While keeping the programme push buttons INTENSIVE
SID 80 I and NORMAL pressed switch on the dishwasher by
pressing the ON-OFF push button.
The ON-OFF indicator light comes on.
At the same time, the indicator lights of the INTENSIVE SID
80
I and NORMAL push buttons start flashing.
3. Press the INTENSIVE SID 80 I push button, the indicator
light of the NORMAL push button turns off, while the
indicator light of the INTENSIVE SID 80
I push button
remains fixed for about 5 seconds, after this it starts flashing
indicating the current level of the water softener.
The current level is indicated by the number of flashes
made by the INTENSIVE SID 80
I indicator light, that
alternates 5 seconds off with a number of flashes, this for
about 60 seconds.
Example:
1 flash = level 1
2 flashes = level 2
3 flashes = level 3
4 flashes = level 4
5 flashes = level 5
4. To change the level, press the INTENSIVE SID 80 I
programme push button. Each time the push button is
pressed the level changes.
Example:
if the current level is 3, by pressing the INTENSIVE SID 80
I
programme push button once, level 4 is selected.
if the current level is 5, by pressing the INTENSIVE SID 80
I
programme push button once, level 1 is selected.
The INTENSIVE SID 80 I indicator light remains off for
about 5 seconds after which it starts flashing indicating the
new level selected.
5. To memorise the new level, switch off the dishwasher by
pressing the ON-OFF push button.
