4.  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. 
 
 
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 
 
41-60°dF – 24-31°dH).   
 
SALT 
 
 
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container 
should be refilled after approximately 20 washing cycles. The salt 
container can hold approximately 1.7 Kg of salt in grains. 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
