[. . . ] 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. Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system. When necessary, refill the regenerating salt container before starting the washing program. In this way, the excess saline solution will be immediately removed by the water; the prolonged presence of salt water inside the tank may lead to corrosion. · · · · Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system. 38 User instructions ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM The dishwasher is equipped with an electronic device for adjusting the water softening setting according to the hardness of the water.

With the exception of the SOAK program, before every washing cycle it is necessary to add the required amount of detergent to the detergent dispenser.

Refill the rinse aid when the optical level indicator becomes clear again, or when the rinse aid warning light illuminates. Replace the cover and turn it in a clockwise direction. Use a cloth to remove any spillage of rinse aid which might lead to the formation of excess foam. ADJUSTING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER SETTING The dishwasher is factory set for medium water hardness. However it possible to change the setting by turning the dispenser's selector to the desired position: the amount of rinse aid dispensed is proportional to the selector position.
