3.Set the water softener
4.Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt

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.
To select a different level be sure that the dishwasher is off and then proceed as follows:
1.Press the |
| push button. |
2.Press simultaneously for about 5 seconds the
programme push buttons |
| INTENSIVE SID 80 | |
and NORMAL | , in the digital display appears the | ||
current level (L 4). |
| ||
3. Press the | INTENSIVE SID 80 | programme push | |
button as many times as necessary until the | |||
required level appears in the digital display. The | |||
level increases by 1 each time the button is | |||
pressed. |
|
|
|
After 5 seconds that the | INTENSIVE SID 80 | ||
programme push button has last been pressed, the dishwasher memorises the new level and returns to the programme setting mode.

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.
