AEG ÖKO FAVORIT 6480 Operating Instructions Manual page 14

For economic operation and as a contribution to environmental protection,
no more salt should be used than is necessary. For this reason, set the level
of water hardness which is correct for the water in your area.
To set a different level, proceed as follows:
Press the On/Off button to turn the dishwasher on.
Then simultaneosly press the "small load" button and "delay start" button for
approximately 5 seconds: an «L» followed by number 4 (the hardness level
set in the factory) will appear on the display.

Press the "delay start" button consecutively until the required level appears
on the display.
Each time the button is pressed, you will go up one level.
When you have not pressed the "delay start" button for 5 seconds, the dish-
washer will set the hardness level to that shown on the display and return to
the programme setting mode.
Salt MUST be used regularly from level «1» upward if you use the new
compact detergent containing enzymes.
If your water is level 0 it is already soft and therefore there is no need to use
salt. In this case do not take into account the salt light on the control panel,
which illuminates when there is no salt inside the salt container.
