Frequently Asked Questions - DVN05R20W BEKO

How do I adjust the water softener level?

First, determine your water hardness using the test strip. Then, with the program knob off, press and hold the Start/Pause/Cancel key and rotate the knob one step clockwise. Keep the key pressed for 3 seconds. Use the program knob to select the appropriate hardness level (0-5) and press Start/Pause/Cancel to save.

What does the salt indicator mean?

The salt indicator lights up when the salt level is low. Refill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt to ensure optimal water softening. If your water hardness is below 7°dH, salt may not be needed and the indicator may stay on continuously.

How to use the rinse aid?

Pour rinse aid into the dispensing compartment until it is full. The rinse aid indicator will light up when a refill is needed. Adjust the dosage setting if necessary for better drying results.

Which program is most efficient?

The Eco program at 50°C is the most energy and water efficient for normally soiled dishes. It is also the reference program for compliance with EU eco-design directives.

What is the half load function?

The half load function reduces water and energy consumption when washing fewer dishes. Press the Half Load key (or combined with Tablet function) to activate. Suitable for Quick & Shine or Mini programs.

How to activate the child lock?

Press and hold the Delay function key for 3 seconds to enable or disable the child lock. The child lock indicator will show when active, preventing unintended button presses.

Can I use tablet detergent?

Yes. Press and hold the Half Load key for 3 seconds to activate the tablet detergent function (indicator lights). This optimizes program settings for all-in-one tablets.

What does the 'Program Ended' indicator mean?

The Program Ended indicator (end light) illuminates when the cycle is complete. The drying indicator shows during the drying phase. If only the washing light is on, the program is still in progress.

How do I cancel a running program?

Press and hold the Start/Hold/Cancel key for 3 seconds. The machine will cancel the current cycle and drain water. The program knob should be turned to Off before starting a new program.

What to do if dishes are not drying properly?

Ensure rinse aid is filled and the dosage is set correctly. Use the Intensive or Eco programs with drying phase. Avoid overloading and ensure the dishwasher is properly leveled. Also, check that the water softener is adjusted to your water hardness.

Auxiliary functions

Washing programmes of your dishwasher are designed to obtain the best cleaning effect, considering the type of the soil, soiling degree and properties of the dishes to be washed.

Auxiliary functions are provided in order to enable you to save time, water and energy and to perform a more comfortable washing with conditions specific to you.

Auxiliary functions may cause changes in the programme duration.

The consumption values shown in the table were determined under standard conditions. Differences may therefore occur under practical conditions. * Reference programme for testing institutes. The tests in accordance with EN 50242/60436 must be carried out with a full water softener salt dispenser and a full rinse aid reservoir, and using the test programme. The values given for programmes other than Eco 50°C programme are indicative only. (#) Additional functions might cause changes in programme durations.

Quick Guide

Adjusting the water softening system

Washing, rinsing and drying performance of your dishwasher will improve when the water softening system is adjusted correctly.

To adjust the system, first learn the water hardness in your region and adjust as indicated below.

• Unpack the test strip.
• Open the tap and let the water flow for approx. 1 minute.
• Dip in the test strip into the water for 1 second.
  • Take out the strip from the water and shake it.
• Wait for 1 minute.
• Make the necessary adjustment according to the test strip.
  Level 0
  Level 1
  Level 2
  Level 3
  Level 4
  Level 5

Sequence of five horizontal bar patterns with alternating black and white squares, resembling a pattern recognition or data visualization.

After the determination of the water hardness:

1. While the Program Selection Knob is "Off", press and hold the Start / Pause / Cancel key and rotate the Program Selection Knob one step clockwise and keep the Start / Pause / Cancel key pressed for 3 seconds; the machine shall switch to regeneration setting mode after this period.
2. The regeneration level in the memory is illuminated for 5 seconds when you enter the regeneration setting mode.
3. For setting a new Water Hardness Level, bring the Program Selection Knob to the proper position for the hardness level of your mains water. (See Water Hardness Level Setting Table)
4. Press the Start / Pause / Cancel key to record the selected setting in the memory.
5. Bring the Program selection knob to "Off" position.

5. Level	25-62 20-50	35-90 5			The Washing, Drying and End lights on the panel flashes with intervals of 1 second.

After detecting the water hardness:

• If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 50^ or if you are using well water, than it is recommended to use filter and water purification devices.
• If the hardness level of the water that you use is below 7^ , there is no need to use salt in your dishwasher. In this case, the Salt Indicator light on the control panel of your dishwasher will light continuously.
• If the water hardness is set to level 1, the Salt Indicator will light continuously although it is not necessary to use salt. If you use salt under this condition, salt will not be consumed and the lamp will not illuminate.

When moving, you will need to set the water hardness level of your dishwasher again according to the information above, depending on the water hardness of the place you have moved to. If the water hardness level of your machine is adjusted previously, your machine will display the most recent hardness level adjustment.
