• 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 the salt...

 The rinse aid helps the dishes dry faster and

 Flexi Tabs 
When using detergents which incorporate salt and rinse aid, use the 
“Flexi Tabs option if featured on the dishwasher. If the option is not 
provided, we recommend the use of conventional products (separate 
detergent, salt and rinse aid), because with conventional washing cycles, 
combined products might create problems such as a white deposit, poor 
drying results and residues left on dishes.

• Containers such as cups, bowls, glasses and pots should always

at an angle, to allow the water to drain...

pans are arranged with all the soiled surfaces 
exposed to the water jets coming from the
