You can configure the appliance by changing basic settings according to your needs.
For more details, refer to the information provided in this chapter.
You can change the basic settings in setting mode.
When the appliance is in setting mode, the bars of the ECOMETER represent
available settings. For each setting, a dedicated bar of the ECOMETER flashes.
The order of the basic settings presented in the table is also the order of the settings on the ECOMETER:
Setting mode

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.
Water hardness
- Factory setting.
- 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 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 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.
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 0A.
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.
The duration of the drying phase and the door opening time vary depending on
the selected programme and options.
When AirDry opens the door, the display shows the remaining time of the
running programme.
CAUTION!
- Do not try to close the appliance door within 2 minutes after automatic opening. This can cause damage to the appliance.
- If children have access to the appliance, we advise to deactivate AirDry. The automatic opening of the door may pose a danger.
Key tones
The buttons on the control panel make a click sound when you press them. You
can deactivate this sound.
Latest programme selection
You can set the automatic selection of the most recently used programme and
options.
The latest programme that was completed before the appliance deactivation is
saved. It is then selected automatically after you activate the appliance.
When the latest programme selection is disabled, the default programme is ECO.

TimeBeam displays the following information on the floor below the appliance door:
- The programme duration when the programme begins.
- 0:00 and CLEAN when the programme is completed.
- DELAY and the countdown duration when the delay start begins.
- An alarm code when the appliance has a malfunction.

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.
-
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 dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.
- In areas with hard and very hard water, we recommend to use 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 programmes.
- 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 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 cutlery. 10.3 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:
- Set the highest level of the water softener.
- Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers are full.
- Start the Quick program. Do not add detergent and do not put dishes in the baskets.
- When the program is completed, adjust the water softener according to the water hardness in your area.
