6.2 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.

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.
6.3 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 best
drying performance, always use rinse aid.
If standard detergent or multi-tablets without rinse aid are used, activate
the notification to keep the rinse aid refill indicator active.
6.4 End sound
You can activate an acoustic signal that sounds when the programme is
completed.
ENGLISH 13
Acoustic signals sound also when a malfunction of the appliance occurs. It is
not possible to deactivate these signals.
6.5 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 other than Pre-rinse.
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.
CAUTION! If children have access to the appliance, we advise to deactivate
AirDry. The automatic opening of the door may pose a danger.
6.6 Key tones
The buttons on the control panel make a click sound when you press them. You
can deactivate this sound.

6.7 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.

HINTS AND TIPS
9.1 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 programme 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 programme 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”.
9.2 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 programmes. 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.
9.3 What to do if you want to stop using multi-tablets
Before you start using separately 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 programme. Do not add detergent and do not put dishes in
the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed, adjust the water softener according to
the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.
9.4 Before starting a programme
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 programme is suitable to the type
of load and the degree of soil. · The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
9.5 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, aluminium, delicate
