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 hard-
ness in your area. If necessary, contact your
local water authority.
