WATER SOFTENER

The water softener must be adjusted manually using the water hardness control.
The water softener removes minerals and salts from the water that would affect the operation of the
appliance.
The more minerals there are in your water, the harder it is.
The water softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your region. Your
local water authority will inform you about the water hardness in your region.
