Setting the water softener level
It is possible to regulate the amount of salt that the water softener will
release during a wash cycle. The water softener should be set to a
level that is appropriate for the hardness of your water (please refer to
the table below).

o
The default setting of the water softener is “-”.
o
IMPORTANT: If you are using 3 in 1 dishwasher tablets and live
in a medium or hard water area, then you should still fill the
water softener with salt.
o
If you are using multifunctional tablets e.g. 3 in 1, you should fill
the salt container and set the adjuster to “-”. However, if the
hardness of your water is greater than 60°fH, set the adjuster to
“+”.
To alter the amount of salt that is released by the water softener, you
should:-
o
Unscrew the cap from the water softener.
o
There is a ring on the container with an arrow on it as shown in
the drawing above.
o
Rotate the ring in an anticlockwise direction to the required
setting based on the hardness of the water being used.
o
When the ring is in the correct position, replace the cap on the
water softener and fully tighten it.
