The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have a negative effect on the washing results and on the appliance. The higher the content of these minerals, the harder your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales. The water softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area. Your local water authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. Set the right level of the water softener to assure good washing results.

2. Do not use salt at this level.

• Regardless of the type of detergent used, set the proper water hardness level to keep the salt refill indicator active.
• Multi-tabs containing salt are not effective enough to soften hard water.

Regeneration process
For the correct water softener operation, the resin of the softener device needs to be regenerated regularly. This process is automatic and is 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 program’s end.

Water softener lev‐ Amount of water el                               (l)

9                                 3
10                                3

In the case of the high water softener setting, it may occur also in the middle of the program, before the rinse (twice during a program). Regeneration initiation has no impact on the cycle duration unless it occurs in the middle of a program or at the end of a program with a short drying phase. In such cases, the regeneration prolongs the total duration of a program 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 program. This activity increases the total water consumption of a program by additional 4 liters and the total energy consumption of a program by an additional 2 Wh. The rinsing of the softener ends with a complete drain. Each performed softener rinse (possibly more than one in the same cycle) may prolong the program duration by another 5 minutes when it occurs at any point at the beginning or in the middle of a program. 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 the water as well as the variations of the main supply can change the values.

The rinse aid empty notification

The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. It is automatically released during the final rinse. When the rinse aid chamber is empty, the rinse aid indicator turns on. If the drying results are satisfactory while using multi-tablets only, you can deactivate the notification for refilling the rinse aid. However, for the best drying performance, always use a rinse aid. If standard detergent or multi-tablets without rinse aid are used, activate the notification to keep the rinse aid refill indicator active.

End sound
You can activate an acoustic signal that sounds when the program 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 programs. The duration of the drying phase and the door opening time varies depending on the selected program and options. When AirDry opens the door, the display shows the remaining time of the running program.

CAUTION!
Do not try to close the appliance door within 2 minutes after automatic opening. This can cause damage to the appliance.
CAUTION!
If children have access to the appliance, we advise deactivating AirDry. The automatic opening of the door may pose a danger. When AirDry opens the door, Beam-on-Floor might not be completely visible. To see if the program is complete, look at the control panel.

Key tones
The buttons on the control panel make a click sound when you press them. You can deactivate this sound.

HINTS AND TIPS

General
Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning and drying results in daily use and to protect the environment.

• Washing dishes in the dishwasher as instructed in the user manual usually consumes less water and energy than washing dishes by hand.
• Load the dishwasher to its full capacity to save water and energy. For best cleaning results, arrange items in the baskets as instructed in the user manual, and do not overload the baskets.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. It increases the water and energy consumption. When needed, select a program with a prewash phase.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes and empty cups and glasses before putting them inside the appliance.
• Soak or slightly scour cookware with firmly cooked-on or baked-on food before washing it in the appliance.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do not touch or cover each other. Only then can the water completely reach and wash the dishes?
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid, and salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ”All in 1”). Follow the instructions on the packaging.
• When the program is completed.
• After 5 minutes if a program was not started.

End of the program

When the program is complete, the display shows 0:00. The Auto Off function switches the appliance off automatically. All buttons are inactive except for the on/off button.

• Select a program according to the type of load and the degree of soil.ECO offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption.
• To prevent limescale buildup inside the appliance:
• Refill the salt container whenever necessary.
• Use the recommended dosage of the detergent and rinse aid.
• Make sure that the current level of the water softener agrees with the hardness of the water supply.
• Follow the instructions in the chapter “Care and Cleaning”.

Using salt, rinse aid, and detergent

• Only use salt, rinse aid, and detergent designed for the dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard water, we recommend using basic dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, tablets containing no additional agents), rinse aid, and salt separately for optimal cleaning and drying results.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programs. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use tablets with long programs
• Always use the correct quantity of detergent. Insufficient dosage of detergent can result in poor cleaning results and hard-water filming or spotting on the items. Using too much detergent with soft or softened water results in detergent residues on the dishes. Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water’s hardness. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.
• Always use the correct quantity of rinse aid. Insufficient dosage of rinse aid decreases the drying results. Using too much rinse aid results in bluish layers on the items.
• Make sure that the water softener level is correct. If the level is too high, the increased quantity of salt in the water might result in rust on the cutlery.

What to do if you want to stop using multi-tablets

Before you start using separate detergent, salt, and rinse aid, complete the following steps:

1. Set the highest level of the water softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers are full.
3. Start the Quick program. Do not add detergent and do not put dishes in the baskets.
4. When the program is completed, adjust the water softener according to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.

Before starting a program

Before you start the selected programme, make sure that:

• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid (unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The program is suitable for the type of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.

Loading the baskets

• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• Use the appliance to wash dishwasher-safe items only.
• Do not wash the following materials in the dishwasher: wood, horn, pewter, copper, aluminum, delicateornamented porcelain, and unprotected carbon steel. This can cause them to crack, warp, discolor,pit, or rust.
• Do not wash in appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household clothes).
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses, and pans) with the opening facing downwards.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch each other.
• Put light or plastic items in the upper basket. Make sure that the items do not move freely.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery drawer.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a programme.

Unloading the baskets

1. Let the tableware cool down before you remove it from the appliance. Hot items can be easily damaged.
2. First, remove items from the lower basket, then from the upper basket. After the program is completed, water can still remain on the inside surfaces of the appliance.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!
Before any maintenance other than running the program Machine Care, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the main socket. Dirty filters and clogged spray arms negatively affect the washing results. Check these elements regularly and, if necessary, clean them.

Machine Care

Machine Care is a program designed to clean the appliance interior with optimal results. It removes limescale and grease buildup. When the appliance senses the need for cleaning, the indicator is on. Start the Machine Care program to clean the appliance interior.

How to start the Machine Care program

Before starting the Machine Care program, clean the filters and spray arms.

1. Use a descaler or a cleaning product designed specifically for dishwashers. Follow the instructions on the packaging. Do not put dishes in the baskets.

3. Close the appliance door to start the program. When the program is complete, the indicator is off.

Internal cleaning

• Clean the appliance interior with a soft damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads, sharp tools, strong chemicals, scourers or solvents.
• Wipe clean the door, including the rubber gasket, once a week.
• To maintain the performance of your appliance, use a cleaning product designed specifically for dishwashers at least once every two months. Carefully follow the instructions on the packaging of the product.
• For optimal cleaning results, start the programme Machine Care.

Removal of foreign objects

Check the filters and the sump after each use of the dishwasher. Foreign objects (e.g. pieces of glass, plastic, bones or toothpicks, etc) decrease the cleaning performance and can cause damage to the drain pump.

CAUTION!
If unable to remove the foreign objects, contact the authorized Service Centre.

1. Disassemble the filter system as instructed in this chapter.
2. Remove any foreign objects manually.
3. Reassemble the filters as instructed in this chapter.

External cleaning

• Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth.
• Only use neutral detergents.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads or solvents.

Cleaning the filters

The filter system is made of 3 parts.

1. Turn the filter (B) counterclockwise and remove it.
2. Remove filter (C) from the filter (B).
3. Remove the flat filter (A).
4. Wash the filters.
5. Make sure that there are no residues of food or soil in or around the edge of the sump.
6. Put back in place the flat filter (A). Make sure that it is correctly positioned under the 2 guides.
7. Reassemble the filters (B) and (C).
8. Put back the filter (B) in the flat filter (A). Turn it clockwise until it locks.

CAUTION!
An incorrect position of the filters can cause bad washing results and damage to the appliance.

Cleaning the lower spray arm

We recommend cleaning the lower spray arm regularly to prevent soil from clogging the holes. Clogged holes can cause unsatisfactory washing results.

1. To remove the lower spray arm, pull it upwards.
2. Wash the spray arm under running water. Use a thin pointed tool, e.g. a toothpick, to remove particles of soil from the holes.
3. To install the spray arm back, press it downwards.

Cleaning the upper spray arm

Do not remove the upper spray arm. If the openings in the spray arm are clogged, remove the remaining particles of soil with a thin pointed object, e.g. a toothpick.

Cleaning the ceiling spray arm

We recommend cleaning the ceiling spray arm regularly to prevent soil from clogging the holes. Clogged holes can cause unsatisfactory washing results. The ceiling spray arm is placed on the ceiling of the appliance. The spray arm (C) is installed in the delivery tube (A) with the mounting element (B).

1. Release the stoppers on the sides of the sliding rails of the cutlery drawer and pull the drawer out.
2. Move the upper basket to the lowest level to reach the spray arm more easily.
3. To detach the spray arm (C) from the delivery tube (A), turn the mounting element (B) counterclockwise and pull the spray arm downwards.
4. Wash the spray arm under running water. Use a thin pointed tool, e.g. a toothpick, to remove particles of soil from the holes. Run the water through the holes to wash soil particles away from the inside.
5. To install the spray arm (C) back, insert the mounting element (B) in the spray arm and fix it in the delivery tube (A) by turning it clockwise. Make sure that the mounting element locks into place.
6. Install the cutlery drawer on the sliding rails and block the stoppers.
