9.4 DISHWASHER WITH INCORPORATED CONTINUOUS WATER SOFTENER
Dishwashers with incorporated continuous water softener have a continuous softener in the water circuit. By means of special
resins, this device removes the calcareous substances from the feed water, supplying decalcified water for washing.
To activate the continuous water softener set the parameter
SER
(in the
HCP
family) to the value
9
.
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.
To regenerate the resins it is necessary to put kitchen salt in the special container located in the dishwasher.
In particular, the salt container must be filled when the dishwasher is used for the first time and whenever the message
SAL 0
i
s displayed at the start of a wash cycle. The salt container holds up to 1.5 kg of salt.
IMPORTANT
:
The message
SAL 0
may appear for several wash cycles even after topping-up the salt, as the salt must
circulate in the entire system. Correct operation of the dishwasher is not, however, affected.
The number of regeneration cycles performed can be checked by consulting the parameter
nrE
in the
Cnt
family of
counters.
The hardness of the water exiting the softener can vary between 3°fH - 10 °fH / 1.7 °dH - 5.6 °dH / 2.1 °cH - 7 °cH.
