Setting the water softener
The water softener removes minerals and salts from the
water supply. Minerals and salts can have bad effect on
the operation of the appliance.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales:
• German degrees (dH°).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit for the
hardness of water).
• Clarke.
Adjust the water softener to the water hardness in your
area. If necessary, contact your local water authority.
