4. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use
as follows:
•
Adjust the water softening system;
(present only on some models)
•
Add the regenerating salt;
(only on some models)
•
Add the rinse aid and detergent.
4.1 Using the water softening system
(only on some models)
The amount of scale contained in the
water (water hardness index) can cause
whitish staining on the dry dishes, which
tend to become dull over time. The
dishwasher is equipped with an automatic
softening system which uses a special
regenerating salt to reduce the hardness
of the water.
The dis hwasher is factory set for water
hardness level
3
(average hardness
41-60°dF
–
24-31°dH
).
SALT
When using water of medium hardness, the regenerating salt container
should be refilled after approximately
20 washing cycles
. The salt
container can hold approximately
1.7 Kg
of salt in grains. The container
is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. After removing the
lower basket, unscrew the salt container cap by turning it
anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel supplied with the
dishwasher. Before replacing the cap, remove any salt residues from
around the opening.
•
When using the dishwasher for the first time, in addition to the salt it
is also necessary to add
one litre of water
to the container.
•
Each time the salt container is refilled, make sure that
the cap
is securely closed
. The mixture of water and detergent must
never penetrate the salt container, as this would compromise the
operation of the regeneration system. In the event of this
occurring, the warranty will b e invalidated.
•
Only
use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic
dishwashers. If using salt tab lets,
do not fill the
container completely
.
