5. THE WATER SOFTENER (SOFTWATER
TECHNOLOGY)
5.1 Introduction
The water contains harsh minerals. The
higher is the content of these minerals
the harder the water is.
A hard water can reduce the
effectiveness of the detergent, make the
fabrics stiffened, favour the fabric
shrinkage and colour fade.
This appliance is equipped with a water
softener able to provide the right degree
of water softening to preserve the fabric
integrity, colour brightness and ensuring
good wash performances at low
temperature.
The water softener should be adjusted
according to the water hardness of your
inlet water. A correct setting allows to
achieve the best washing results and the
maximum garments protection.
To set the water softener correctly,
please refer to 'How to set the water
hardness level'.
