Topping up with regenerating salt (for models with softener)

Warning: use only salt of the specific type, do not use cooking salt.

Salt must be added when the Led underneath the symbol shown in the box on the left lights up. Top up with salt

when there is no water in the tank to prevent washing water from getting into the water softener device. The

salt tank has a capacity of about 1 kg of coarse-grained salt. The salt tank is in the bottom of the appliance's tank.

After removing the basket, undo the cap and pour the salt in using the funnel supplied. Remove any salt residues

around the opening before screwing the cap back on.

9 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Although no particular scheduled maintenance is required, users are advised to have the dishwasher checked by a

specialist technician twice a year.

N.B.: the manufacturer accepts no liability for wilful damage or damage deriving from carelessness, neglect, failure to

comply with instructions, regulations and standards or incorrect connections, which lead to forfeiture of warranty cover. If

possible, leave the door ajar when not in use; Clean surfaces thoroughly and often with a damp cloth; use neutral, non-

abrasive detergents which do not use chlorine compounds, which corrode and damage stainless steel. Do not use the

products mentioned above even when cleaning the floor underneath or in the vicinity of the dishwasher, as vapours or

drops may damage the steel surfaces.

The dishwasher has IPX4/5 protection but pointing water jets straight at it for cleaning is forbidden
