5 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE STARTING TO USE THE APPLIANCE, MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE WARNINGS
CONTAINED IN CHAPTER 2 “IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUC-
TION”.
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.
5.1 Using the water softening system
The amount of scale contained in the water (water hardness index) can
cause whit-ish 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 41-
60°dF – 24-31°dH / 23.6-35 gpg). 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 (3.75 lb)
of salt in grains. Some models are equipped with an optical no-salt indica-
tor. In these models, the cap of the salt container contains a green float
which descends as the salt concentration in the water drops. When the
green float can no longer be seen, the container must be topped up with
regenerating salt. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher.
After removing the lower rack, unscrew the salt container cap (ref. A fig.
5-01) by turning it anticlockwise and pour in the salt using the funnel (ref. A
fig. 5-02) supplied with the dishwasher. Before replacing the cap (ref. A fig.
5-01), remove any salt residues from around the opening.
