First time use

Water hardness level is
factory set for medium-hard
water (level 4).
Even if you use tablets which
include salt, you must still add
regeneration salt since such
detergents are not effective
enough at softening hard
water.

need to be
removed. Some
salt reservoir have
a level indicator
integrated in the
cap (see below
