Operative Instructions
a
WARNING! The flow pipes must not be
shortened or damaged.
The water supply taps must be capable of quickly
stopping the water line, therefore, they must be
equipped with a ball or a gate valve. They must also
withstand the operating pressure of the water, as
indicated in the technical data sheet.
Proper placement of the taps is shown on the
installation plan.
5.3.1 Acquastop system
The water connection hoses are fitted inside with
two solenoid valves, connected to the float switch. If
a water leak is detected, the float is triggered, causing
the solenoid valves to close.
5.3.2 Models with built-in water softener
The integrated function of the softener is used to
reduce the amount of limescale contained in the
incoming water. If the machine is connected with hard
water, the result is a rapid degeneration with loss of
function and performance.
Regeneration must be performed to keep the ionic
resins active.
For machines equipped with a water softener, when
installed, it is necessary to enter the water hardness
value by entering in programming menu.

Actions for salt refill:
1) Open the door.
2) Unscrew the plastic cap of the salt box.
3) Pour 0.7 kg (1.5 lbs.) of common salt into the box
using the appropriate funnel.
a
WARNING! During this operation, check that
the plastic cap is closed.
4) Insert the rack and start a normal washing cycle.
The machine regenerates automatically.
a
WARNING! The washing cycle performed
after the «salt loading» may not work.
5.3.3 Regeneration salt
If the water softener was chosen when configuring
the machine, the washer disinfector is supplied
with regeneration salt which will feed the device
automatically during the regeneration process.
You must fill the salt tank every time the message “Refill
salt” is displayed.
- Use only appropriate coarse-grain salt.
- Do not use kitchen salt, crushed salt tabs or other
types different from those indicated, as it may contain
insoluble substances.
- Do not pour cleaning liquids or other solutions in the
salt tank.
a
WARNING! Failure to comply with these
recommendations can lead to a malfunction
of the water softening device. Just before
the salt runs out completely, the display will
show the message «Lack of salt». At this
point, the salt should be topped-up as soon
as possible, otherwise an error message will
appear and it will no longer be possible to
activate a new cycle if not by resetting.
The salt must be introduced through the chamber
outlet inside the tank (4 Fig. 11). To introduce the salt,
unscrew the cap (anti-clockwise) and fill the tank with
salt funnel, paying attention not to pour salt outside
the bowl then close the tank with the cap.
5.3.4 Salt refill
Proceed as follows to refill the salt:
1) Delete the message on the display by pressing the
RESET key for 5 seconds.
2) Open the door and remove any already inserted
load.
3) Loosen the salt tank cap and insert the funnel.
4) In the first filling, introduce 0.13 US gal (0.5 l) of
water to dissolve the residue salt. FIRST FILLING
ONLY
5) Fill with salt up to the edge. The tank contains about
1.5 lbs (0.7 kg) of salt.
