Sensor Softener

If there is a break in data transfer between the sensor softener and the
electronic module, the control activates an emergency program. The basis for
calculating the period between individual reactivation cycles is then the most
recently registered water hardness figure saved before the break in
communications. At every new program start, the electronic attempts to re-
establish contact with the sensor softener. If this is successful, measured
values from the sensor softener will then be used again.
To ensure that possible measurement faults at the sensor softener do not
have severe consequences, the electronic control includes a further safety
feature. A table relating water hardness to maximum water quantities is
stored in memory. If the maximum water quantity for the hardness level in
question is taken in without reactivation having taken place, a reactivation
cycle is started automatically.
If a sensor softener fault is registered, fault code F87 (see Section 080-3.42)
is displayed and saved in the fault memory.

Intelligent Tab Function (Select Models Only)

To optimize wash results, the type of detergent (normal detergent or
combination products in tablet form) used in the dishwasher can be set.
To adjust the program sequence to suit the detergent type, press the Tab
button as appropriate. The selected function remains applicable until it is
modified again. It is therefore not necessary to select 2 in 1 or 3 in 1
before every program.
Standard detergent (powder or tab form):
The Tab button is not pressed. This means filling rinse aid in the customary
way, and salt will be consumed for the reactivation of the water softener.
2-in-1 detergent:
When 2 in 1 is selected, the program sequence is adjusted for
2-in-1 tablets (containing detergent and rinse aid). All water intake will be
with soft water at the pre-set water hardness level. The dispensing of rinse
aid and the rinse aid refill indicator light are deactivated.
3-in-1 detergent:
When 3 in 1 is selected, the program sequence is adjusted for 3-in-1 tablets
(containing detergent, rinse aid and salt). The dispensing of rinse aid and the
rinse aid refill indicator light are deactivated. Salt consumption for the
softener reactivation is reduced to between one-third and one-fourth of its
normal level. During the first two water intake cycles, prepared water taken
from the water softener is added to the circulating water. During the following
intake cycle, the softener is inactive.
