6.14 Regeneration levels

The counter for execution of the "Ad Hoc" regeneration process is governed by the electronic control system
on the basis of the duration of the fill phases (i.e. the quantity of water introduced), and NOT on the number
of cycles.
Regeneration can be set to one of 10 levels. If regeneration is set to level [1], the procedure is not performed
and the Salt LED remains unlit.

6.14.2 "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 level of regeneration is set to between 1 and 4, it is advisable to activate the BLENDING function to
mix softened water with unsoftened water.
This function optimizes the consumption of salt thus preventing the possibility of corrosion of glass recipients
due to excessively soft water.
When the BLENDING function is activated, the percentage of unsoftened
water introduced into the dishwasher is 15%.
The BLENDING function is activated using the selector knob located inside
the tub, on the left side, in the vicinity of the steam venting grille.
Position of selector
pos.1 = blending ACTIVATED.
pos.2 = blending DISACTIVATED.
