6.2 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals

from the water supply, which would have

a detrimental 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.
