the resin inside the water softener. The duration of the
procedure is approximately 5 minutes.

starts more times during
operation.
• It is normal that the appliance stops and starts during
the programme in order to provide optimal cleaning re-
sults and energy savings.
• In models with the ''water sensor'' you will hear more
stops and starts during the programme. This depends
on the selected programme and the level of soil
sensed.
The programme lasts too
long.
• An energy-saving programme has been selected, in
this case the total programme time increases to com-
pensate the lower washing and drying temperatures.
Use these programmes preferably at night.
• If the delay start is set, cancel the delay setting or wait
for the end of the countdown.

tate freely otherwise the cleaning results will be heavily
affected.
