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. It is important to 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 rFfiMM 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 that 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 accordance with the currently applicable standard in laboratory conditions with water hardness 2.5mmol/L according to the 2019/2022 regulation (water softener: level 3).

The pressure and the temperature of water as well as the variations of the mains 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 hot rinse phase.

When the rinse aid chamber is empty, the rinse aid indicator is turned on notifying to refill rinse aid. If the drying results are satisfactory while using multi-tablets only, it is possible to deactivate the notification for refilling 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.

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.

AutoOpen

AutoOpen improves the drying results with less energy consumption. The appliance door opens automatically during the drying phase and remains ajar.

AutoOpen is automatically activated with all programmes other than Rinse & Hold.

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, pets or people with disabilities have access to the appliance, deactivate AutoOpen. The automatic opening of the door may pose a danger and expose possible hazards inside the appliance (such as knives, sharp objects, chemicals).

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 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”.

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.

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 30′ 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.

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.

Loading the baskets

Refer to the supplied leaflet with examples of the load of the baskets.

• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• Use the appliance to wash dishwashersafe items only.
• Do not wash in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper as they could crack, warp, get discoloured or pitted.
• Do not wash in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).
• Remove remaining food from the items.
• Soak cookware with burnt-on food before washing it in the appliance.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening facing downwards.
• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not bond together. Mix spoons with other cutlery.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch each other.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that the items do not move freely.
• Make sure that the spray arm 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 programme is completed, water can still remain on the inside surfaces of the appliance.

When the appliance senses the need for cleaning, the indicator is on. Start the
Machine Care programme to clean the appliance interior.

How to start the Machine Care programme

Before starting the Machine Care programme, 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.

Internal cleaning

• Carefully clean the appliance, including the rubber gasket of the door, with a soft damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads, sharp tools, strong chemicals, scourer or solvents.
• 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 Machine Care programme.

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.

1. Disassemble the filters system as instructed in this chapter.
2. Remove any foreign objects by hand. Caution! If unable to remove the objects, contact an Authorised Service Centre.
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

1. Make sure that there are no residues of food or soil in or around the edge of the sump.
   

2. The filter system is made of three parts.

3. To remove filters (B) and (C), turn the handle counterclockwise and pull it upwards. Remove the filter (C) out of filter (B). Wash the filters with water.

4. Remove the flat filter (A). Wash the filter with water.

5. Put the flat filter (A) back in place. Make sure that it is correctly positioned under the 2 guides (D).

6. Reassemble the filters (B) and (C). Put them back in the filter (A). Turn the handle clockwise until it locks.

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

Cleaning the lower spray arm

We recommend to clean 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.
