							Adjusting the water softener
Hard water contains a high quantity of minerals
that can cause damage to the appliance and
bad washing results. The water softener neu-
tralises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water softener
clean and in good conditions. Refer to the tableto adjust the water softener to the right level. It
makes sure that the water softener uses the
correct quantity of dishwasher salt and water.
You must adjust the water softener man-
ually and electronically.
