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.
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.
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. Wait until the indicator
the indicator
and the remaining indicators are off.
The intermittent flashing of the indicator
shows the current setting: e.g. 5 flashes +
pause + 5 flashes = level 5.
2. Press the programme button repeatedly
to change the setting. Each pressing of
the programme button increases the level
number. After reaching the level 10, the
count starts again from the level 1.
3. Press the on/off button to confirm the
setting.
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 multi-
tablets 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.
