Water hardness level 4 with combined action detergent
Even if you use tablets which include salt functionality, you must still add regeneration salt. They
are not effective enough at softening hard water. If the appliance is equipped with the "Set
detergent type" function (see page 4) and this function has been selected, the salt indicator remains
on starting from water hardness level 5.
