The water softener device is factory-set to the value of 20
cycles since this is generally sufficient for most uses.
During installation of the appliance, the installation
technician should nonetheless check the correct setting of
this value.
The regeneration of the resins is carried out by means of a
special regeneration cycle with coarse salt, following the
instructions described hereinafter.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
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.
When the message “REG“ appears on the display, activate
the cycle to regenerate the resins.
Activation of the regeneration cycle
• Open the salt container.
• Pour approximately 0.5 Kg of coarse salt (NaCI) (the
amount necessary to fill the salt container up to the rim)
into container “A“.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Only salt may be placed in the salt
container. 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.
• Remove any salt residue from around the salt container
hole and screw the salt container top on again tightly.
• Open the door and remove the overflow “A“.
• Close the door.
• Start the regeneration cycle by pressing the
REGENERATION cycle button for at least 5 seconds.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
Do not open the salt container during
the entire regeneration cycle as the
saline solution could spill out. During
this process it is normal to hear a
metallic sound for a short period.
• During the regeneration cycle the display alternately blinks
two symbols: “0“ and “[ ]”:
• After about 50 minutes, 3 beeps indicate the end of the
regeneration cycle and “END“ blinks on the display:
• Replace the overflow.
• Close the door.
The dishwasher is now ready to start the normal working
functions.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT
If the regeneration cycle is accidentally
started, it can be switched off by pressing
the regeneration cycle button for at least
5 seconds.
IIMMPPOORRTTAANNTT
The regeneration cycle is temporarily
stopped:
• in the event of a power failure,
• if the door is opened,
• if the machine is switched off.
