Do not wash the dishes in running water. Use the washing program that is most appropriate for each type of load. If using salt tablets, do not fill the container completely. • 16 User instructions • • 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.
