Water softener
Before using the machine for the first time, the water softener should be programmed. The water needs to be softened to avoid calcium deposits on the items being cleaned and in the machine itself.
If the water supply is harder or softer than the factory setting (including below 4 gr/gal or 70 ppm), the setting will need to be changed. See "Setting the water softener".
–In order to function properly, the water softener requires a supply of reactivation salt.
–The cleaner must be correctly programmed to match the hardness of the tap water supply.
–Your local water authority can provide information about the hardness of the tap water in your area.
If the water hardness is known to fluctuate, always program for the highest value.
