For the correct water softener operation, the resin of the
softener device needs to be regenerated regularly. This
process is automatic and is the part of the normal
dishwasher operation.
When the prescribed quantity of water (see values in
the table) has been used since the previous
regeneration process, a new regeneration process will
be initiated between the final rinse and the programme
end.

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 that 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
accordance with the currently applicable
standard in laboratory conditions with
water hardness 2.5mmol/L according to
the 2019/2022 regulation (water
softener: level 3).
The pressure and the temperature of
water as well as the variations of the
mains supply can change the values.
The rinse aid level
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks
and stains. It is automatically released during the hot
rinse phase. It is possible to set the released quantity of
rinse aid.
When rinse aid chamber is empty, the rinse aid indicator
is on notifying to refill rinse aid. If the drying results are
satisfactory while using multi-tablets only, it is possible
to deactivate the dispenser and the indicator. However,
for best drying performance, always use rinse aid and
keep the rinse aid indicator active.
To deactivate the rinse aid dispenser and indicator, set
the level of rinse aid to 0.
End sound
You can activate an acoustic signal that sounds when
the programme is completed.
Acoustic signals sound also when a
malfunction of the appliance occurs. It is
not possible to deactivate these signals.
AirDry
AirDry improves the drying results. The appliance door
opens automatically during the drying phase and
remains ajar.
AirDry is automatically activated with all programmes.
