ADJUSTING THE WATER
SOFTENER
Hard water contains a high quantity of
minerals that can cause damage to the
appliance and bad washing results. The
water softener neutralises these miner-
als.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water
softener clean and in good conditions.
Refer to the table to adjust the water
softener to the right level. It makes sure
that the water softener uses the correct
quantity of dishwasher salt and water.
You must adjust the water soft-
ener manually and electronical-
ly.
