I DISHWASHER WITH INCORPORATED CONTINUOUS WATER SOFTENER
I.1 Continuous water softener
IMPORTANT
Unlike conventional water softeners, this continu-
ous softener does not require machine stops for
regenerating the resins.
By means of special resins, this device removes the calca-
reous substances from the feed water, supplying decalcified
water for washing. For the continuous softener to work
properly the resins must be regenerated periodically, with
frequency depending on the hardness of the water and the
number of wash cycles carried out.

NOTE!
The factory setting of max. outlet water hardness is
10 °f/ 5.6 °d/ 7 °e. During installation of the
appliance, the installation technician should none-
theless check the correct setting of this value.
I.1.1 Salt container
CAUTION
Only use coarse salt with a purity level of
99.8% NaCl. The use of salt with a lower
purity level can cause clogging of the salt
container filter and malfunctioning of the
water softener.
CAUTION
Do not introduce any other chemical
substances such as detergent, rinse aid
or descaling agent, since these would
inevitably damage the appliance. Such
damage invalidates any warranty and
relieves the manufacturer of all liability.
The water can only be softened if there is salt in the special
container. The salt container must be filled when the dish-
washer is started the first time and whenever the display

the start button blinks in yellow.
NOTE!
Wash cycles can be started just the same, even if
the display signals no salt; in which case the water
used for washing is not softened.
IMPORTANT
Open the salt container only when the display
shows the message that the salt is finished. Open-
ing the cap when NOT necessary can cause spilling
of the saline solution and compromise correct
machine operation.
I.1.2 Fill the salt container
• Switch off the dishwasher by pressing twice the On/Off
button.
• Unscrew cap "A" (Figure below) of the salt container, turning
it counterclockwise.
The salt container always has water in it, therefore it is
normal if water comes out during filling.
• Pour approx. 1 kg of coarse salt [NaCl] in container "A" (an
amount sufficient to fill the salt container up to the rim) using
the special funnel supplied (see figure below).
• Remove any traces of salt from the filling hole, the container
thread and the closing cap seal.
• Refit the cap of container "A", turning it clockwise and
making sure it is tight.
