HOW TO FILL THE SALT CONTAINER

From a water hardness category of 1–2 (medium), before using the dishwasher, fill the salt container with
regeneration salt (to find out the hardness level of water in your area, contact your local Water Board or check
the last bill you received).
The dishwasher is equipped with an electronic control system that allows you to adjust the water softening system
to suit the local water hardness level.
Adjust the water softening system as follows:
If the water hardness level does not correspond to position h3 on the selector (setting on delivery) or if the water
hardness level changes:
• Press the PROGRAMME DELAY button for a few seconds until the 3 DIGIT DISPLAY shows the set value
followed by a dot (3.).
• Once the display shows the desired value, release the button; after 5 seconds the setting automatically returns
to programme delay and water hardness level is set to the selected value.
• To exit the programming mode press the SET PAUSE button or simply wait approx. 2 seconds without
pressing any button.
Programming must be carried out with the door open; it cannot be carried out with the selector set to the "soak"
cycle.
NOTE: the display shows water hardness setting and the programme delay. A dot (.) after the number indicates
that the number on the display refers to water hardness level. If no dot (.) is visible, the number on the display
refers to the programme delay.

How to fill the salt container
Warning: only use regeneration salts for use domestic dishwashers!
Do not fill the salt container with unsuitable substances, such as detergent,
as this will cause irreparable damage to the water softener system.
1. Remove the lower rack.
2. Unscrew the cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
3. When first using the dishwasher: fill the salt container to the rim
with water.
4. Fill the salt container with regeneration salt to the rim (using the
funnel provided) (when filling for the first time min. 1.5 kg and
max. 1,7 kg) and stir with a spoon handle.
5. Screw the cap back on by turning it clockwise.
6. Fit the lower rack.
7. If regeneration salt is to be added, immediately start a wash
programme (rinsing alone is not sufficient) in order to eliminate
any residual saline solution straight away and avoid corrosion.
Salt level indicator
The dishwasher is equipped with an electric or visual salt level
indicator (depending on the model installed).
Electric indicator
The salt level indicator lamp on the control panel lights up when the
salt container is empty.
Visual indicator
The float is clearly visible in the cap window when the salt container is
full (see photo).
The float lowers and is no longer visible when the salt container is empty.
