Water hardness level is factory set for medium-hard water (level 4).

Even if you use tablets which include salt, you must still add regeneration salt since such detergents are not effective enough at softening hard water.

At first time use, the salt reservoir has to be filled independently from water hardness level (see description below in step 1 “Daily check”).

Filling the salt reservoir - Dissolve limescale (not necessary if water hardness level is set to “soft”!)
