ADVICE REGARDING THE FIRST TIME USE
After installation, remove the stoppers from the racks and the retaining
elastic elements from the upper rack.
FILLING THE SALT RESERVOIR
The use of salt prevents the formation of LIMESCALE on the dishes
and on the machine’s functional components.
• It is mandatory that
THE SALT RESERVOIR NEVER BE EMPTY.
• It is important to set the water hardness.
The salt reservoir is located in the lower part of the dishwasher
(see PRODUCT DESCRIPTION)
and must be filled when the
SALT REFILL
indicator light
in the control panel is lit.
1. Remove the lower rack and unscrew
the reservoir cap (anticlockwise).
2. Only the first time you do this: fill the salt
reservoir with water.
3. Position the funnel
(see figure)
and fill the salt
reservoir right up to its edge (approximately 1 kg);
it is not unusual for a little water to leak out.
4. Remove the funnel and wipe any salt residue
away from the opening.
Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly, so that no detergent can
get into the container during the wash program (this could damage
the water softener beyond repair).
Whenever you need to add salt, it is mandatory to complete
the procedure before the beginning of the washing cycle to avoid
corrosion.
SETTING THE WATER HARDNESS
To allow the water softener to work in a perfect way, it is essential that
the water hardness setting is based on the actual water hardness in your
house. This information can be obtained from your local water supplier.

Setting is complete!
As soon as this procedure is complete, run a program without loading.
Only use salt that has been specifically designed for dishwashers.
After the salt has been poured into the machine, the SALT REFILL
indicator light switches off.
If the salt container is not filled, the water softener and the heating
element may be damaged as a result of limescale accumulation.
Using of Salt is recommended with any type of dishwasher
detergent.
