7.2 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals

from the water supply, which would have

a negative effect on the washing results

and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals,

the harder your water is. Water hardness

is measured in equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted

according to the hardness of the water in

your area. Your local water authority can

advise you on the hardness of the water

in your area. Set the right level of the

water softener to assure good washing

results.

1) Factory setting.
2) Do not use salt at this level.

Regardless of the type of detergent

used, set the proper water hardness

level to keep the salt refill indicator

active.

Multi-tabs containing salt are

not effective enough to

soften hard water.

Regeneration process

For the correct water softener operation,

the resin of the softener device needs to

be regenerated regularly. This process is

automatic and is the part of the normal

dishwasher operation.
When the prescribed quantity of water

(see values in the table) has been used

since the previous regeneration process,
