2. Operating instructions
Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as
follows:
Adjust the water softening system;
Add the regenerating salt;
Add the rinse aid and detergent.
2.1
Using the water softening system
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 dishwasher is factory set for water
hardness level
3
(average hardness).
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 be invalidated.
Only use regenerating salt specially formulated for domestic
dishwashers. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container
completely.
