User instructions In order for the water softening system to give fault-free service, the appliance performs a regeneration cycle of the system at regular intervals. The regeneration process consists of several stages. It starts at the end of the last rinse cycle, after the amount of water indicated in the mains water hardness setting has been reached during the wash cycle, and finishes at the beginning of the following wash cycle.

In order for the water softening system to give fault-free service, the appliance
performs a regeneration cycle of the system at regular intervals.
The regeneration process consists of several stages. It starts at the end of the last
rinse cycle, after the amount of water indicated in the mains water hardness setting
has been reached during the wash cycle, and finishes at the beginning of the
following wash cycle.
The regeneration process increases the cycle time and consumption of water and
electricity.
