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.
5.3 Activating AirDry
AirDry improves the drying results with less energy consumption.
By default, AirDry is activated with all programmes excluding
to deactivate it.
While the drying phase operates, the device opens the appliance door. The door is then
kept ajar.
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.
