Everything you need to know
about the water softener
The water needs to be softened to
avoid calcium deposits building up on
utensils and in the machine itself.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water
the water softener unit must always be:
1. correctly programmed and
2. the salt reservoir must be filled.
If the water hardness level is below
3 °d - German scale (0.5 mmol/l) the
reservoir does not need to be filled
with reactivation salt.
The machine is set at the factory for a
water hardness level of 25 °d (4.5
mmol/l).
If the water supply is harder or softer
than this (including below 3 °d or 0.5
mmol/l) the factory setting will need
to be changed following the
instructions in "Setting the water
softener". See chart on the next
page for settings.
Your local water authority will advise
you on the water hardness in your area.
For future servicing it is useful to make
a note of your water hardness level.
Enter your water hardness level here:
mmol/l /
°d
For fluctuating levels e.g. 8 - 17 °d (1.4
- 3.1 mmol/l) set the water softener to
the highest setting. In this example to
17 °d (3.1 mmol/l).
Important
The built-in water softener has settings
from 1 °d - 25 °d (0.2 - 4.5 mmol/l).
