The water softener
The water softener removes minerals from
the water supply, which would have a
negative effect on the washing results and
on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the
harder your water is. Water hardness is
measured in equivalent scales.

The water softener should be adjusted
according to the hardness of the water in
your area. Your local water authority can
advise you on the hardness of the water in
your area. It is important to set the right
level of the water softener to assure good
washing results.
