ADJUSTING THE WATER
SOFTENER
Hard water contains a high quantity of min-
erals that can cause damage to the appli-
ance and bad washing results. The water
softener neutralises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water soft-
ener 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 dish-
washer salt and water.
You must adjust the water softener
manually and electronically.
