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.
