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.
