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 80Iand NORMAL programme push
buttons simultaneously.
2. While keeping the programme push buttons INTENSIVE
SID 80Iand 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.

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.
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
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.
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.
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 80Iand 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 NORMAL push button, the corresponding
indicator light keeps flashing while the indicator light of the
INTENSIVE SID 80
I
push button turns off. At the same time
the indicator light end of programme starts to flash.
