Adjustment of the upper
basket
(some models only)
If 27 cm to 31 cm plates are normally used,
load them onto the lower basket after the
upper basket has been placed in its upper
position and proceed as detailed below
(According to the models):
Type “A”:
1. Turn the front stops “A” outwards;
2. Take out the basket and remount it in the
upper position;
3. Replace the blocks “A” in their original
position.
Dishes that are bigger than 20 cm in
diameter can no longer be loaded onto the
upper basket and the mobile supports
cannot be used when the basket is in the
upper position.
Type “B”:
1. Pull out the upper basket;
2. Then grasp the basket from both sides
and lift it upwards (fig. 1).
Dishes that are bigger than 20 cm in
diameter can no longer be loaded onto the
upper basket and the mobile supports
cannot be used when the basket is in the
upper position.
ADJUST BASKET TO THE LOWER
POSITION:
1. Grasp the basket from both sides and lift
slightly upwards (fig. 2a);
2. Then slowly release into the correct
position (fig. 2b).
N. B. : NEVER LIFT OR LOWER THE
BASKET BY ONE SIDE ONLY (fig.3).
Attention :
it is advisable to adjust the basket before
loading the dishes.

Type “B”
Loading the salt
■ On the bottom of the machine there is a
container for the salt for regenerating
the softener.
■ It is important to use only a salt that is
specifically designed for dishwasher.
Other types of salt contain small quantities
of insoluble particles which over a long
period of time may affect and deteriorate
the softener performance.
■ To add salt, unscrew the cap of the con-
tainer on the bottom and then refill the
container.
■ During this operation a little water will
overflow; but keep adding salt until the
container is full. When the container is
full, clean the thread of salt residue and
retighten the tap.
■ After loading the salt, it is recommended
running a complete washing cycle,
or COLD RINSE programme. The salt
dispenser has a capacity of between 1.5
and 1.8 kg and, for efficient use of the
appliance, it should be refilled from time
to time according to the regulation of the
water softener unit.
IMPORTANT
(Only for first start up)
When the appliance is used for the
first time, after completely filling the
salt container, it is necessary to add
water until the container overflows.

Salt loading indicator
Some models are provided with an indicator
light which signals salt consumption.
The signal will appear according to one of
two systems:
■ an indicator light on the control panel
which will light up when it is necessary to
reload the salt container;
■ the salt container cap with a green
mobile light (fig. 1a) which remains
visible as long as there is enough salt for
regeneration purposes. When the green
surface is depressed inside the cap,
more salt must be loaded.
Other models are provided with a blind cap
(fig. 1b). In this case, the salt level must be
checked periodically, according to the
regulation of the water softener unit.
IMPORTANT
The appearance of white stains on
dishes is generally an important
sign that the salt container needs
filling.
