11.6 Clock
The following time functions are available:
▪ Time
▪ Time format
▪ Time display
▪ Mains synchronization
Time format
The time can be displayed in the European 24-hour time format or the US 12‑hour format
(a.m./p.m.).
Time display
With the «Show time» setting (factory setting), the time is dimmed between 00:00 and
06:00 (24-hour format) or 12:00 a.m. and 06:00 a.m. (12-hour format).
If «Hide time» is selected, the displays are not illuminated when the appliance is off.
To reduce power consumption to a minimum, select «Hide time» in the user set-
tings. Despite EcoStandby, all safety functions remain active.
Mains synchronization
Mains synchronization synchronizes the appliance clock with the mains frequency. Irregu-
lar mains frequency can cause the clock to not run correctly. A pulse generator inside
the appliance is used when mains synchronization is switched off.
11.7 Notifications
Acoustic signals and instruction messages can be switched off or disabled. Essential
acoustic signals (such as the timer, end of operation and switch appliance off) cannot be
switched off or disabled.
11.8 Descaling the appliance
This function can be used to descale the appliance or read the remaining operating time
until the next descaling process.
See Descaling (see page 54).
11.9 Water hardness
The appliance features a system that automatically indicates when it is time to descale.
The system can be optimized for households with soft water (also through using a water
softening appliance) and medium water hardness by changing the user settings to the
relevant range of water hardness.
There are three settings for water hardness:
Type Water hardness [°fH] Water hardness [°dH] Water hardness [°eH]
▪ Hard 36 to 50 21 to 28 26 to 35
▪ Medium 16 to 35 9 to 20 12 to 25
▪ Soft 1 to 15 1 to 8 1 to 11
