11.4 Switching off water
softening system
If you find the special salt refill indic-
ator irritating, e.g. when using com-
bined detergents with salt replace-
ment substances, you can switch the
salt refill indicator off.
Note
To avoid damage to the appliance,
only switch off the water softening
system in the following cases:
¡
The water hardness is max. 26 °E
and you are using combined deter-
gents with salt replacement sub-
stances. According to manufactur-
ers, combined detergents with salt
replacement substances can gen-
erally only be used up to a water
hardness of 26 °E without adding
special salt.
¡
The water hardness is 0 - 8 °E.
You do not need to use special
salt.

11.5 Regeneration of the wa-
ter softening system
In order to obtain fault-free function of
the water softening system, the appli-
ance performs reheating of the water
softening system at regular intervals.
Regeneration of the water softening
system takes place before the end of
the main rinse cycle in all pro-
grammes. It will increase the run time
and consumption values, e.g. water
and electricity.
Overview of consumption values with regeneration the water softening
system
Here you can find an overview of the maximum additional running time and
consumption values during regeneration of the water softening system.
You can find the column applicable to your model in the quick reference guide
according to its water consumption in the Eco 50° programme.
