The water softener
The water softener removes minerals from the water
supply, which would have a negative effect on the
washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the harder
your water is. Water hardness is measured in equivalent
scales.
The water softener should be adjusted according to the
hardness of the water in your area. Your local water
authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in
your area. It is important to set the right level of the
water softener to assure good washing results.

Multi-tabs containing salt are not
effective enough to soften hard water.
Regeneration process
9

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.
Water softener level Amount of water (l)
1 250
2 100
3 62
4 47
5 25
6 17
7 10
8 5
9 3
10 3
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.
All the consumption values mentioned in
this section are determined in
accordance with the currently applicable
standard in laboratory conditions with
water hardness 2.5mmol/L according to
the 2019/2022 regulation (water
softener: level 3).
The pressure and the temperature of
water as well as the variations of the
mains supply can change the values.
The rinse aid level
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks
and stains. It is automatically released during the hot
rinse phase. It is possible to set the released quantity of
rinse aid.
When rinse aid chamber is empty, the rinse aid indicator
is on notifying to refill rinse aid. If the drying results are
satisfactory while using multi-tablets only, it is possible
to deactivate the dispenser and the indicator. However,
for best drying performance, always use rinse aid and
keep the rinse aid indicator active.
To deactivate the rinse aid dispenser and indicator, set
the level of rinse aid to 0.
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.
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.
10

The duration of the drying phase and the door opening
time vary depending on the selected programme and
options.
Caution! Do not try to close the
appliance door within 2 minutes after
automatic opening. This can cause
damage to the appliance.
Caution! If children have access to the
appliance, we advise to deactivate
AirDry. The automatic opening of the
door may pose a danger.
When AirDry opens the door, Beam-on-
Floor might not be completely visible. To
see if the programme is complete, look

Hints and tips
General
Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning and
drying results in daily use and to protect the
environment.
• Washing dishes in the dishwasher as instructed in
the user manual usually consumes less water and
energy than washing dishes by hand.
• Load the dishwasher to its full capacity to save
water and energy. For best cleaning results, arrange
items in the baskets as instructed in the user
manual and do not overload the baskets.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. It increases the
water and energy consumption. When needed,
select a programme with a prewash phase.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes and
empty cups and glasses before putting them inside
the appliance.
• Soak or slightly scour cookware with firmly cooked-
on or baked-on food before washing it in the
appliance.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do not touch or
cover each other. Only then can the water
completely reach and wash the dishes.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and
salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets (e.g.
''All in 1''). Follow the instructions on the packaging.
• Select a programme according to the type of load
and the degree of soil. ECO offers the most efficient
use of water and energy consumption.
13

• To prevent limescale buildup inside the appliance:
– Refill the salt container whenever necessary.
– Use the recommended dosage of the detergent
and rinse aid.
– Make sure that the current level of the water
softener agrees with the hardness of the water
supply.
– Follow the instructions in the chapter "Care
and cleaning".
Using salt, rinse aid and detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent designed for
dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to
the appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard water, we
recommend to use basic dishwasher detergent
(powder, gel, tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal
cleaning and drying results.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short
programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the
tableware, we recommend that you use tablets with
long programmes.
• Always use the correct quantity of detergent.
Insufficient dosage of detergent can result in poor
cleaning results and hard-water filming or spotting
on the items. Using too much detergent with soft or
softened water results in detergent residues on the
dishes. Adjust the amount of detergent based on the
water hardness. Refer to the instructions on the
detergent packaging.
• Always use the correct quantity of rinse aid.
Insufficient dosage of rinse aid decreases the drying
results. Using too much rinse aid results in bluish
layers on the items.
• Make sure that the water softener level is correct. If
the level is too high, the increased quantity of salt in
the water might result in rust on cutlery.
What to do if you want to stop using multi-tablets
Before you start using separately detergent, salt and
rinse aid, complete the following steps:
1. Set the highest level of the water softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers are
full.
3. Start the 30min programme. Do not add detergent
and do not put dishes in the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed, adjust the
water softener according to the water hardness in
your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.
Before starting a programme
Before you start the selected programme, make sure
that:
• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid (unless you use
multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the baskets is
correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type of load and
the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.
Loading the baskets
• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• Use the appliance to wash dishwasher-safe items
only.
• Do not wash the following materials in the
dishwasher: wood, horn, pewter, copper, aluminium,
delicate ornamented porcelain and unprotected
carbon steel. This can cause them to crack, warp,
discolour, pit or rust.
• Do not wash in the appliance items that can absorb
water (sponges, household cloths).
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the
opening facing downwards.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch each other.
• Put light or plastic items in the upper basket. Make
sure that the items do not move freely.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery basket.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely
before you start a programme.
Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before you remove it
from the appliance. Hot items can be easily
damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower basket, then from
the upper basket.
After the programme is completed, water
can still remain on the inside surfaces of
the appliance.
