Setting The Water Hardness - AEG OKO FAVORIT 645 Operating Instructions Manual

Setting the water hardness - adding dishwasher salt
Your dishwasher is equipped with a water
softener which transforms the "hard" water
into "soft" water required for washing. To re¬
generate the water softener the salt container
in the bottom of the wash tub (fig. 2/B) must
contain dishwasher salt at all times. At the end
of each programme the water softener is auto¬
matically re-generated using some of the salt
from the salt container.
For economical reasons and to protect the
environment do not use more salt than neces-
Please also make reference to special instruc¬
tions found on the detergent packaging.
Set the water hardness selector (fig. 2/C and
fig. 4) to the correct setting using a coin.
Your local Water Authority will quote the water
hardness in English or Clarke Degrees or
parts per million (ppm).
