In case of the high water softener setting,
it may occur also in the middle of the
programme, before the rinse (twice
during a programme). Regeneration
initiation has no impact on the cycle
duration, unless it occurs in the middle of
a programme or at the end of a
programme with a short drying phase. In
such cases, the regeneration prolongs
the total duration of a programme by
additional 5 minutes.
Subsequently, the rinsing of the water
softener that lasts 5 minutes may begin
in the same cycle or at the beginning of
the next programme. This activity
increases the total water consumption of
a programme by additional 4 litres and
the total energy consumption of a
programme by additional 2 Wh. The
rinsing of the softener ends with a
complete drain.
Each performed softener rinse (possible
more than one in the same cycle) may
prolong the programme duration by
another 5 minutes when it occurs at any
point at the beginning or in the middle of
a programme.
All the consumption values
mentioned in this section are
determined in line with the
currently applicable standard
in laboratory conditions with
water hardness 2.5mmol/L
(water softener: level 3)
according to the regulation:
2019/2022 .
The pressure and the
temperature of water as well
as the variations of the
mains supply can change
the values.
How to set the water softener

7.3 The rinse aid empty
notification
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes
without streaks and stains. It is
automatically released during the final
rinse.
When the rinse aid chamber is empty,
the rinse aid indicator turns on. If the
drying results are satisfactory while using
multi-tablets only, you can deactivate the
notification for refilling the rinse aid.
However, for best drying performance,
always use rinse aid.
If standard detergent or multi-tablets
without rinse aid are used, activate the
notification to keep the rinse aid refill
indicator active.
How to deactivate the rinse
