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
level
Make sure the appliance is in user mode.
1. Wait until the indicator starts to
flash, the indicator continues to
flash and the remaining indicators are
off.
The intermittent flashing of the indicator
shows the current setting: e.g. 5
f pause + 5 flashes = level 5.
2. Press the programme button
repeatedly to change the setting. Each
pressing of the programme button
increases the level number. After
reaching the level 10, the count starts
again from the level 1.
3. Press the on/off button to confirm the
setting.
The rinse aid empty notification
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes
without streaks and stains. It is
automatically released during the hot rinse
phase.
When the rinse aid chamber is empty, the
rinse aid indicator is turned on notifying to
refill rinse aid. If the drying results are
satisfactory while using multi-tablets only,
it is possible to deactivate the notification
for refilling 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.
