Do not use salt at this level.
The water softener undergoes an automatic
regeneration process.
6.3 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.

For the correct water softener operation, the resin of the softener device needs to be regenerated regularly. This
process is automatic and is a part of the normal dishwasher operation. It occurs when the prescribed amount of
water has been used since the previous regeneration process. The amount of water depends on the water softener
level: level 1 - 250 l, level 2 - 100 l, level 3 - 62 l, level 4 - 47 l, level 5 - 25 l, level 6 - 17 l, level 7 - 10 l, level 8 - 5 l,
level 9 - 3 l, level 10 - 3 l. A regeneration process is 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 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 l 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: the Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/2022. Water temperature, water
pressure and variations of the mains supply can change the values.

6.4 End sound
You can activate an acoustic signal that
sounds when the programme is completed.
Acoustic signals sound also when a
malfunction of the appliance occurs. It is
not possible to deactivate these signals.
6.5 AirDry
AirDry improves the drying results. The
appliance door opens automatically during
the drying phase and remains ajar.
AirDry is automatically activated with all
programmes.
The duration of the drying phase and the door
opening time vary depending on the selected
programme and options.
