8.2 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.

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.
8.3 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 multitablets 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.
8.4 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.
8.5 Dry Assist
Dry Assist improves the drying results. The appliance door opens automatically during the drying phase and remains ajar.

ENGLISH 13

CAUTION!
If children have access to the appliance, we advise to deactivate Dry Assist. The automatic opening of the door may pose a danger.

Dry Assist is automatically activated with all programmes.

11. HINTS AND TIPS

11.1 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.

ENGLISH 17

· 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. 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”.
11.2 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.
11.3 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 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.
11.4 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.
11.5 Loading the baskets
· Always use the whole space of the baskets.
· Use the appliance to wash dishwashersafe items only.
· Do not wash the following materials in the dishwasher: wood, horn, pewter, copper, aluminium, delicate ornamented porcelain and unprotected carbon steel. This can cause them to crack, warp, discolour, pit or rust.
· Do not wash in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).
· Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening facing downwards.

18 ENGLISH

· 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 basket.
· Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a programme.
11.6 Unloading the baskets
