SETTING THE WATER SOFTENER
The water softener removes minerals and
salts from the water supply. These minerals
and salts can cause damage to the appli-
ance.
Adjust the level of the water softener if this
does not agree with the water hardness in
your area.
Contact your local water authority to know
the water hardness in your area.
