7.2 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.
How to enter user mode
Make sure the appliance is in programme
selection mode.

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.

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 /
UK Ecodesign 2021/745.
The pressure and the temperature of
water as well as the variations of the
mains supply can change the values.
How to set the water softener level
Make sure the appliance is in user mode.
1. Press Program.
• The indicator still flashes.
• The remaining indicators are off.
• The display shows the current setting:
e.g. = level 5.
2. Press Program repeatedly to change the
setting.
3. Press the on/off button to confirm the
setting.
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
12 ENGLISH
7.3 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.
How to deactivate the rinse aid empty notification
Make sure the appliance is in user mode.

10.1 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.
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".
10.2 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.
16 ENGLISH
Page 17
• 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.
10.3 What to do if you want to stop
using multi-tablets
Before you start to use 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 shortest programme with a
rinsing phase. Do not add detergent and
do put dishes in the baskets.
4. When the programme is complete, adjust
the water softener according to the water
hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.
6. Activate the rinse aid empty notification.
10.4 Loading 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).
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans)
with the opening facing downwards.
• Make sure that glass items do not touch
each other.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make
sure that the items do not move freely.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery
drawer.
• Move the upper basket upwards to
accommodate large items in the lower
basket.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move
freely before you start a programme.
10.5 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.
10.6 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.
