SETTING THE WATER SOFTENER
The water softener removes minerals and salts from the water supply. These minerals and
salts can cause damage to the appliance.
Adjust the level of the water softener if this does not agree with the water hardness in your
area.
Contact your local water authority to know the water hardness in your area.
