Softeners
Mains water contains insoluble salts, which cause the
build-up of lime scale deposits in the boiler and other
parts of the machine. The softener makes it possible
to eliminate or substantially reduce the presence of
these mineral salts. The resin softener has the property
of retaining the calcium contained in the water. For
this reason, the resins become saturated after a certain
period and must be regenerated with coarse kitchen salt
(NaCl, sodium chloride) or special water softening salt.
It is very important to regenerate the softener within
the established times. The regeneration is to be done
regularly every 15 days. However, in locations where
water is very hard, it will be necessary to regenerate
it more frequently. The same rule can be applied to
locations where there is a large consumption of hot water
for tea or other uses.
15.1 Regeneration of the softener
Proceed as follows:
t move levers ( B ) and ( E )
from left to right;
t remove the lid by loosen-
ing the knob (
A );
t
release enough water
through the pipe (
C ) to
make room for the salt to
be added, based on the
model (see the table on
the following page);
t
clean any salt or resin residues from
the gasket located on the cover;
t
put the cover back in place by screw-
ing the knob (
A ) down securely and
move the lever ( B ) back from right
to left;
t let the salt water drain from the little
hose (
D ) until the water is no longer
salty (about 30-60 minutes). The salt
allows the accumulated mineral
salts to be released;
t switch the lever ( E ) from right to
left back to its initial position.
