Water Softener

To avoid the build-up of calcium deposits on items being cleaned and in the machine the water needs to be softened.

To ensure a steady supply of soft water the water softener unit must always be:

1.correctly set for the water hardness level in your area.

2.the salt reservoir must be filled.

(If the water hardness level is below 4 gr/gal (4 °d - German scale) the water does not need to be softened.)

The machine is set at the factory for a water hardness level of 19 gr/gal (19°d).

If the water supply is harder or softer than this (including below 4 gr/gal or 4 °d) the factory setting will need to be changed. For settings see chart.

Your local water authority will advise you of the water hardness in your area.

For fluctuating levels (e.g. 8 - 17 gr/gal or 8 - 17 °d) set the water softener to the highest setting (in this example to 17 gr/gal or 17°d).

The built-in water softener has settings from 1 - 62 gr/gal or 1 °d - 60 °d.
