1) Factory setting.
2) 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.

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 that 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.
