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. To select a different level ensure that the dishwasher is off and then proceed as follows: 1. Press INTENSIVE SID 80I and NORMAL programme push buttons simultaneously. 2. While keeping the programme push buttons INTENSIVE SID 80I 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 80I and NORMAL push buttons start flashing. 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. Water hardness Level Clarke degrees <6 6 - 21 22 - 35 36 - 49 50 - 63 French degrees (°TH) SO507 3. Press the INTENSIVE SID 80I push button, the indicator light of the NORMAL push button turns off, while the indicator light of the INTENSIVE SID 80I push button remains fixed for about 5 seconds, after this it starts flashing indicating the current level of the water softener. PPM (Parts per Million) Use of salt NO YES YES YES YES SO513 1 2 3 4 5 <8 8 - 30 31 - 50 51 - 70 71 - 90 < 80 81 - 300 301 - 500 501 - 700 701 - 900 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. The current level is indicated by the number of flashes made by the INTENSIVE SID 80I indicator light, that alternates 5 seconds off with a number of flashes, this for about 60 seconds. Example: 1 flash 2 flashes 3 flashes 4 flashes 5 flashes = = = = = level 1 level 2 level 3 level 4 level 5 4. To change the level, press the INTENSIVE SID 80I 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 80I programme push button once, level 4 is selected. if the current level is 5, by pressing the INTENSIVE SID 80I programme push button once, level 1 is selected. The INTENSIVE SID 80I 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. 5 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. 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. 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. 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). 3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the salt until the container is full. Do not worry if water over SR06 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. 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. LE SA LT SA LZ SA L SE BR01 BR03 If rinse aid refilling is necessary, the rinse aid 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. 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. It is possible to deactivate the rinse aid indicator light (see the following instructions). By default the rinse aid indicator light is active. To deactivate the rinse aid indicator light ensure that the dishwasher is off and then proceed as follows: 1. Press INTENSIVE SID 80I and NORMAL programme push buttons simultaneously. 2. While keeping the programme push buttons INTENSIVE SID 80I 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 80I and NORMAL push buttons start flashing. SO507 3.

As the gel is extra gentle it is recommended for fine bone china. 4.
