since such detergents are not
effective enough at softening
hard water.
At first time use, the salt reservoir has to be filled independently from water hardness level (see description below in step 1 "Daily check").
Filling the salt reservoir - Dissolve limescale (not necessary if water hardness level is set to "soft"!)
