User instructions 4. Operating instructions Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as follows: • Adjust the water softening system; • Add the regenerating salt; • Add the rinse aid and detergent. 4.1 Using the water softening system The dishwasher is equipped with an automatic softening system which uses a special regenerating salt to reduce the hardness of the water, which causes whitish marks on dry dishes. The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3.
User instructions • Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system. • 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.

There are generally no constraints on the washing of domestic dishes, but in certain cases it is necessary to take their characteristics into account.
User instructions WARNING! • • • • • Make sure that the dishes are securely in place so that they cannot tip over or obstruct the rotation of the spray arms during the washing cycle. Do not place very small objects in the baskets as these could fall and obstruct the spray arms or the wash pump. Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always be loaded with the opening facing downwards and with any cavities at an angle, to allow the water to drain out.
User instructions 4.4 Using the baskets The dishwasher has a capacity of 10 place-settings, including serving dishes. LOWER BASKET Used for items with a heavier degree of soiling. All types and combinations of loads are permitted, provided that the dishes, pots and pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces exposed to the water jets coming from the bottom. In some models the bottom basket is fitted with racks which can be lowered to make better use of the space available.
User instructions BOTTOM BASKET INSERTS Some models are equipped with bottom basket inserts which improve the drying of dishes. The inserts are supplied in the accessories bag; to use them, simply fit them into place as shown. CUTLERY BASKET The cutlery should be arranged in an orderly manner inside the basket, with the handles pointing downwards. Take care during loading to avoid injury from the knife blades.
User instructions UPPER BASKET It is recommended to load the upper basket with small or medium-sized items such as glasses, small plates and saucers, tea or coffee cups, shallow bowls and light objects made from heat resistant plastic. If the upper basket is used in the lowermost position, it can also be loaded with serving dishes, provided they are only lightly soiled. The basket is equipped with two tip-up cutlery supports which can be raised or lowered as required. See illustrations below.
User instructions ADJUSTING THE UPPER BASKET The height of the upper basket can be according to requirements and the size of the dishes in the lower basket.
