How to set water hardness in order to always assure the best cleaning results
Water hardness should be set before the first wash or if water hardness has been changed.
Water hardness level is factory set for medium-hard water (level 4).
Detergents
When powder or gel detergent is used, regeneration salt must be added and water hardness level must be set
as indicated in the table on the right.
Also, when tablets which include salt functionality are used, regeneration salt still must be added.
