Definition Of The Regeneration System - Electrolux Diva Service Manual

6.6 DEFINITION OF THE REGENERATION SYSTEM

In all versions of the dishwasher (electromechanical and electronic), regeneration of the softener
(duration 3 minutes approx.) is performed towards the end of the cycle, during the drying phase.
6.6.1 "BLENDING" FUNCTION
This function is performed inside the fill tank during the water fill phase which, depending on the
position of the selector, automatically blends the softened water with the unsoftened water present in
the appliance.
- In practice, the softened water is introduced into the appliance through the softening system, while
the unsoftened water flows via an open by-pass duct directly through the steam venting ring.
- If the mains water supply is very soft, this function optimizes the hardness of the washing water in
order to prevent the possibility of corrosion of glass recipients.
- The quantity of unsoftened water that is introduced into the appliance is expressed as a
percentage of the total quantity of water utilized.

6.6.2 SELECTING THE LEVEL OF REGENERATION
Electromechanical versions
On electromechanical dishwashers, regeneration is performed during every washing cycle.
The level of regeneration is selected using the selector located inside the tub (on the left-hand side,
near the steam venting ring).
- The quantity of water utilized depends on the position of the selector.
- The knob can be set to one of ten different settings as shown in the table below.
- If the selector is set to (L1) or (L2), the "Blending" function is performed automatically, thus
blending softened water with unsoftened water.
To select a different level of regeneration (according to the hardness of the mains water supply),
open the door and adjust the position of the selector from inside the appliance as follows:
- Turn the selector until the correct level (1 - 10) is aligned with the marker.
- If the water is hard, turn the selector clockwise; if it is soft, turn the selector counter-clockwise.
Selection of the appropriate level of regeneration will ensure efficient washing.
