J.6 Continuous water softener
IMPORTANT
Unlike conventional water softeners, this continu-
ous softener does not require machine stops for
regenerating the resins.
By means of special resins, this device removes the calca-
reous substances from the feed water, supplying decalcified
water for washing. For the continuous softener to work
properly the resins must be regenerated periodically, with
frequency depending on the hardness of the water and the
number of wash cycles carried out.

NOTE!
The factory setting of max. outlet water hard-
ness is 10 °f/ 5.6 °d/ 7 °e.
During installation of the appliance, the installa-
tion technician should nonetheless check the
correct setting of this value.

J.6.1 Salt container
CAUTION
Only use coarse salt with a purity level of
99.8% NaCl. The use of salt with a lower
purity level can cause clogging of the salt
container filter and malfunctioning of the
water softener.
CAUTION
Do not introduce any other chemical
substances such as detergent, rinse aid
or descaling agent, since these would
inevitably damage the appliance. Such
damage invalidates any warranty and
relieves the manufacturer of all liability.
The water can only be softened if there is salt in the special
container. The salt container must be filled when the dish-
washer is started the first time and whenever the message
SAL End appears on the display and an audible alarm sounds.
Wash cycles can be started just the same, even if the display
signals no salt; in which case the water used for washing is not
softened.
IMPORTANT
Open the salt container only when the message
SAL End is displayed. Opening the cap when the
message SAL End is not displayed can cause
spilling of the saline solution and compromise
correct machine operation.
J.6.2 Fill the salt container
• Switch off the dishwasher by pressing On/Off button.
• Unscrew cap “A“ (Figure below) of the salt container, turning
it counterclockwise.
The salt container always has water in it, therefore it is
normal if water comes out during filling.
• Pour approx. 1.5 kg of coarse salt [NaCl] in container “A“ (an
amount sufficient to fill the salt container up to the rim) using
the special funnel supplied (see figure below).
• Remove any traces of salt from the filling hole, the container
thread and the closing cap seal.
• Refit the cap of container “A“, turning it clockwise and
making sure it is tight.
NOTE!
The message SAL End may appear for several
wash cycles even after topping-up the salt, as
the salt must circulate in the entire system.
Correct operation of the dishwasher is not,
however, affected.
