In order to provide good cleaning
results, the machine requires a supply
of soft water (water that is low in
calcium and magnesium). If hard tap
water is used, it can leave a white
mineral deposit build-up on the items
and the machine itself, therefore, tap
water with a hardness of 4 gr/gal or
70 ppm or more must be softened. The
built-in water softener is designed for
this purpose.
– In order to function properly, the
water softener requires a supply of
reactivation salt.
– The cleaner must be correctly
programmed to match the hardness
of the tap water supply.
– Your local water authority will provide
information about the hardness of the
tap water in your area.
If the water hardness is known to
fluctuate (e. g., 8 - 17 gr/gal), always
program for the highest value (in this
instance 17 gr/gal).
The built-in water softener can be
programmed at settings from
1-60 gr/gal or 20-1080 ppm.
It is useful to make a note of the water
hardness so that you can provide the
service technician with this information
in the event of any service calls.
Please note the water hardness in the
