18. 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 salt, supplies softened
water for washing the dishes. The degree of
hardness of your water can be obtained
from your water supply company.
Hardness of up to 90°fH (French grading) or
50°dH (German grading) through 6 different
settings. The table below lists different
degrees of water hardness with the
corresponding setting for the softener unit.
