4. Operating instructions  Once the dishwasher has been correctly installed, prepare for use as 
follows: 
 •  Adjust the water softening system;

•  Add the rinse aid and detergent. 
 
 
4.1 Using the water softening system

water (water hardness index) can cause 
whitish staining on the dry dishes, which 
tend to become dull over time. The

• 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

ADDING THE RINSE AID 
 The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and 
prevents the formation of scale deposits and 
staining; it is automatically added to the water 
during the final rinse cycle, from the container 
situated on the inner side of the door. 
 
 
 
To add rinse aid: 
•  Open the door. 
•  Rotate the container cap anticlockwise by ¼ of a turn and remove it. 
•  Add the rinse aid until the container is full (approximately 140 cc).

 • 3/1 Products 
If you wish to use detergents which already contain salt and rinse 
aid, check whether your dishwasher is fitted with the 3/1 option 
button on the Controls description page and then refer to the 
section which explains how to use this function. 
If the button is not provided, we recommend the use of conventional 
products (separate detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with 
conventional washing cycles 3/1 products might create...
