FEATURES AND CONTROLS
BEFORE STARTING TO USE THE APPLIANCE, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE WARNINGS CONTAINED IN
CHAPTER 2 "IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION".
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.

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 / 23.6-35 gpg). When
using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container should be re lled
after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt container can hold approximately
1.7 Kg (3.75 lb) of salt in grains. These models are equipped with an optical no-salt
indicator. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green oat which
descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the green oat can no
longer be seen, the container must be topped up with regenerating salt. The
container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the lower rack,
unscrew the salt container cap by turning it counterclockwise 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 rst time, in addition to the salt it is also
necessary to add one liter of water to the container.
• Each time the salt container is re lled, 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 ll the container completely.
• Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may
damage the water softening system.
• When necessary, re ll the regenerating salt container before starting the
washing program . . In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately
removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank
may lead to corrosion.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CONFUSE THE SALT AND DETERGENT PACK
AGES; ADDING DETERGENT TO THE SALT CONTAINER WILL DAMAGE
THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM.
