 3/1 OPTION BUTTON (available in all programs except the soak 
program)  By pressing the button (8) you activate the 3/1 option, confirmed when 
the relative light comes on. This option has been studied for the use of  
dishwashing powder or tablets with integrated substances in place of  
regenerating salt or rinse-aid known on the market as “3 in 1” or “triple 
action” products; in this case the dishwasher will use the product in an 
optimal way avoiding salt and...

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 amount of scale contained in the 
water (water hardness index) can cause 
whitish staining on the dry dishes, which 
tend to become dull over time.  
The dishwasher is equipped with an 
automatic softening...

• 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 
detergent to...
