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.

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.

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.

ENGLISH 15

– 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.

• 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

11. CARE AND CLEANING

After the programme is completed, water
can still remain on the inside surfaces of
the appliance.

WARNING!

Before maintenance, deactivate the
appliance and disconnect the mains plug
from the main socket.

Dirty filters and clogged spray arms
decrease the washing results. Make a
check regularly and, if necessary, clean
them.

• To maintain the performance of your

appliance, use a cleaning product
designed for dishwashers at least once
every two months. Carefully follow the
instructions on the packaging of the
product.

• Using short-duration programmes

regularly can cause grease and limescale
buildup inside the appliance. Run long­duration programmes at least twice a
month to prevent the buildup.

CAUTION!

If unable to remove the foreign objects,
contact an Authorised Service Centre.

1. Disassemble the filters system as
instructed in this chapter.

2. Remove any foreign objects manually.

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. Turn the filter (B) counterclockwise and
remove it.

ENGLISH 17

2. Remove the filter (C) out of filter (B).

3. Remove the flat filter (A).

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.
