Regeneration of the water
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.
