Regardless of the type of detergent used, set
the proper water hardness level to keep the
salt refill indicator active.

effective enough to soften hard water.

THE WATER SOFTENER
The water softener removes minerals from the
water supply, which would have a negative effect
on the washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the harder
your water is. Water hardness is measured in
equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted according to
the hardness of the water in your area. Your local
water authority can advise you on the hardness of
the water in your area. It is important to set the right
level of the water softener to assure good washing
results.
