Do not use salt at this level.
Regardless of the type of detergent used,
set the proper water hardness level to
keep the salt refill indicator active.
Multi-tabs containing salt are not
effective enough to soften hard water.
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.

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 .
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.
