In your request, include the model from the rating plate.
SETTINGS
Programme selection mode and
user mode
When the appliance is in programme
selection mode it is possible to set a
programme and to enter user mode.
Settings available in the user mode:
• The level of water softener according to
the water hardness.
• Activation or deactivation of the rinse
aid empty notification.
• The level of rinse aid according to the
required dosage.
• Activation or deactivation of the
acoustic signal for the end of a
programme.
• Activation or deactivation of the Dry
Assist.
As the appliance stores the saved
settings, there is no need to configure
it before every cycle.
How to set the programme
selection mode
The appliance is in programme selection
mode when the programme indicator
flashes.
After activation, the appliance is in
programme selection mode by default. If
not, set the programme selection mode
the following way:
Press and hold the on/off button until the
appliance is in programme selection
mode.
How to enter user mode
Make sure the appliance is in programme
selection mode.
To enter the user mode, press and hold
the programme button until the indicator
8
flashes and the indicators , ,
and are on.
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. Set the right level of the water
softener to assure good washing results.

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 such 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 line with the
currently applicable standard in
laboratory conditions with water
hardness 2.5mmol/L (water
softener: level 3) according to
the regulation: 2019/2022 .
The pressure and the
temperature of water as well as
the variations of the mains
supply can change the values.
How to set the water softener
level
Make sure the appliance is in user mode.
1. Wait until the indicator starts to
flash, the indicator continues to
flash and the remaining indicators are
off.
The intermittent flashing of the indicator
shows the current setting: e.g. 5
flashes + pause + 5 flashes = level 5.
2. Press the programme button
repeatedly to change the setting. Each
pressing of the programme button
increases the level number. After
reaching the level 10, the count starts
again from the level 1.
3. Press the on/off button to confirm the
setting.
The rinse aid empty notification
The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes
without streaks and stains. It is
automatically released during the hot rinse
phase.
When the rinse aid chamber is empty, the
rinse aid indicator is turned on notifying to
refill rinse aid. If the drying results are
satisfactory while using multi-tablets only,
it is possible to deactivate the notification
for refilling 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.
How to deactivate the rinse aid
empty notification
Make sure the appliance is in user mode.
1. Press the programme button
immediately.
The indicator starts to flash.
2. Wait until the indicator continues
to flash and the remaining programme
indicators are off.
