Water softener
To avoid the build-up of calcium de-
posits on items being cleaned and in
the machine the water needs to be soft-
ened.
To ensure a steady supply of soft water
the water softener unit must always be:
1. correctly set (programmed) and
2. the salt reservoir must be filled.
(If the water hardness level is below
70 mg/l (4°d) the water does not
need to be softened.)
The machine is set at the factory for a
water hardness level of 340 mg/l
(19 °d).
If the water supply is harder or softer
than this (including below 70 mg/l or
4°d) the factory setting will need to
be changed following the instruc-
tions in the section “Setting the
water softener”. For settings, see
chart on the next page.
Your local water authority will advise
you on the water hardness in your area.
For fluctuating levels (e.g. 140 - 310 mg/l
or 8 - 17°d) set the water softener to
the highest setting (in this example to
310 mg/l or 17°d).
Important
The built-in water softener has settings
from 20 mg/l to 1080 mg/l or 1°d - 60°d.
For future servicing it is useful to make
a note of your water hardness level.
