WATER SOFTENER UNIT
Depending on the source of the supply,
water contains varying amounts of limestone
and minerals which are deposited on the
dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.
The higher the level of these minerals
present in the water, the harder the water is.
The dishwasher is fitted with a water
softener unit which, through the use of
special regenerating
softened water for washing the dishes.
The degree of hardness of your water can
be obtained from your water supply
company.
