WATER SOFTENER UNIT
Depending on the source of the supply, water contains varying amounts of limestone and minerals which are deposited on the dishes leaving whitish stains and marks.
The higher the level of these minerals present in the water, the harder the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a water softener unit which, through the use of special regenerating salt, supplies softened water for washing the dishes.
The degree of hardness of your water can be obtained from your water supply company.
Regulating the water softener with electronic programmer
The softener unit can treat water with a hardness of up to 90°fH (French grading) or 50°dH (German grading) through six different settings.
The table below lists different degrees of water hardness with the corresponding setting for the softener unit.
