Operation to be carried out when the machine is off and cold and with the plug disconnected.

To be effected after the consumption of approx.15 litres of water (average hardness calculated as 35 degress on the French scale) or at least once a month.

●Drain the water-tank, see point 10.2.●Slide the softener 1 Fig.15 off the rubber tubing 2 and turn it over.

Fig. 15

●Pour the solution through the filter and the resin, letting it flow down freely.

●Wait about 5 minutes, then hold the softener under a tap and rinse it with water.When the water coming out of the softener is no longer salty, the resins are regenerated and the softener is ready for use once again.

●Put the softener back on the rubber tube and replace it horizontally on the bottom of the tank.

●On completion of this operation, the machine can be started up again by repeating the procedure described in paragraph 7.3.
