Hints and tips
The water softener
Hard water contains a high quantity of minerals
that can cause damage to the appliance and
bad washing results. The water softener neutral-
ises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water softener
clean and in good conditions. It is important to
set the right level of the water softener. This
makes sure that the water softener uses the
correct quantity of dishwasher salt and water.
