User instructions

3. Operating instructions

Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:

•

Adjust the water softening system;

•

Add the regenerating salt;

•

Add the rinse aid and detergent.

3.1 Using the water softening system

The amount of scale contained in the
water (water hardness index) can cause
whitish staining on the dry dishes, which
tend to become dull over time. The
dishwasher is equipped with an automatic
softening system which uses a special
regenerating salt to reduce the hardness
of the water.
The dishwasher is factory set for water
hardness level 

3

(average hardness

41-60°dF 

–

24-31°dH

).

When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container
should be refilled after approximately 

20 washing cycles

. The salt

container can hold approximately 

1.5 Kg

 of salt in grains. Some models

are equipped with an optical no-salt indicator. In these models, the cap
of the salt container contains a green float which descends as the salt
concentration in the water drops. When the green float can no longer be
seen through the transparent cap, the container must be topped up with
regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the
dishwasher. After removing the lower basket, unscrew the salt container
cap by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel
supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt
residues from around the opening.

•

When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it
is also necessary to add 

one litre of water 

to the container.

•

Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that 

the cap is

securely closed

. The mixture of water and detergent must never

penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the operation
of the regeneration system. In the event of this occurring, the
warranty will be invalidated.

•

Only

 use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic

dishwashers. If using salt tablets, 

do not fill the container

completely

.
