12.3 Topping up with regenerating salt (for models with softener)

Warning: use specific salt only, do not use cooking sea salt. Salt must be

supplied when the led under the symbol indicated in the left side picture

lights up. The salt container has a capacity of about 1 kg of granulated salt.

Correct procedure to refill the regenerating salt:

- start a tank pump-out,

- refill the regenerating salt,

- fill the tank (FILL)

- restart the tank pump-out

- remove any salt residues from the bottom of the tank, as it may cause

corrosion/rust.

This procedure prevents the washing water to enter the salt container

(possible damage to the decalcifier) and that possible residues of salt are

left in the tank (risk of corrosion/rust).

Remove the washing and rinsing (top and bottom) spray arms by unscrewing the central screw; remove the

rinsing spray arms 3 and remove the screws 2 as shown. Do not unscrew the nozzles. Clean the holes and

nozzles under a jet of clean running water; do not use tools which might cause damage. Reassemble the

spray arms with care.

Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth and neutral soap, rinsing and drying thoroughly.

If the dishwasher is to be out of use for a fairly long period of time, the detergent and rinse aid dispenser

devices must be emptied to prevent crystallisation and damage to the pumps: remove the intake hoses

from the detergent and rinse aid containers and place them in a container of clean water, then perform a

few wash cycles followed by a complete pump-out. Finally, turn off the master switch, close the water

intake valve and leave the hood ajar until the interior is completely dry. The detergent and rinse aid intake

hoses must be put back into the containers when the dishwasher is returned to service, taking care not to

swap them over (red hose = detergent, blue hose = rinse aid).
