Water Softener
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which
would have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
The more minerals there are, the harder your water is.
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area.
Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.

based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise
the level of salt consumption.
Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.
