Proceed as follows:
• Insert the Delime hose present in the machine, identified by
an appropriate label, in a container with at least 2l of wine
vinegar 6% (2l is the minimum amount of vinegar needed
for a correct Delime cycle).
CAUTION
Only use wine vinegar (with 6% of
acetic acid) and not other descaling
substances.
WARNING
Descaling with the use of
chemical
substances
other
than vinegar must only be
done
by
a
specialised
personnel.
• Remove the basket with dishes and remove the overflow “2“
(refer to G
). Close the hood. Activate the
delime cycle by pressing the delime button for at least 5
seconds.
IMPORTANT
The delime cycle lasts about 1h 30sec; during
this phase the hood must not be opened and no
other command can be activated until comple-
tion of the cycle in progress. If the machine is
turned off during the delime cycle, at the next
restart the cycle will resume exactly from where it
was interrupted, until its completion.
• At the end of Delime cycle, the dishwasher sounds a series
of beeps and “END“ will flash on the display.
Refit the previously removed overflow.
CAUTION
• Remove large food scraps from the
dishes to prevent clogging the filters.
• The appliance will not remove burnt
food deposits from dishes. Dishes with
burnt-on food deposits should be
cleaned mechanically/chemically (for
example,
pre-wash
under
running
water) before putting them in the
dishwasher.
• Failure to remove the residuals of
detergent possibly used for manual
prewash can cause malfunctioning of
the dishwasher and compromise wash-
ing results.
• The use of “foaming“ or non-specific
detergents or in any case detergents
used in different ways from that pre-
scribed by the manufacturer, can cause
damage to the dishwasher and com-
promise washing results.

J.7
Hood type dishwasher with incorporated
continuous water softener
These models have a continuous softener in the dish-washer
water circuit. By means of special resins. this device removes
the calcareous substances from the feed water, supplying
decalcified water for washing.
For the continuous softener to work properly the resins must
be regenerated periodically, with frequency depending on the
hardness of the water and the number of wash cycles carried
out.
Unlike conventional water softeners, this continuous softener
does not require machine stops for regenerating the resins.
