ADJUSTING THE WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM

User instructions

Do not use table salt as it contains insoluble substances which, over time, may damage the water softening system.

Be careful not to confuse the salt and detergent packages; adding detergent to the salt container will damage the water softening system.
