4. Operating instructions 

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

x

Adjust the water softening system; 

x

Add the regenerating salt; 

x

Add the rinse aid and detergent. 

4.1 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 

37-59°dF

 – 

22-33°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.

The salt reservoir is in the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the 
basket, undo the cap of the reservoir by turning it anticlockwise and pour 
the salt in using the funnel supplied with the dishwasher. Remove any 
salt residues around the opening before screwing the cap back on. 

x

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.

x

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.

x

Only

 use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic 

dishwashers. If using salt tablets, 

do not fill the container 

completely

.
