WATER SOFTENER UNIT
Depending on the source of the supply,
water contains varying amounts of
limestone and minerals which are deposited
on the dishes leaving whitish stains and
marks. The higher the level of these
minerals present in the water, the harder
the water is. The dishwasher is fitted with a
water softener unit which, through the use
of special regenerating salt, supplies
softened water for washing the dishes. The
degree of hardness of your water can be
obtained from your water supply company.
The water softener can treat water with a
hardness level of up to 90 °fH (French grading)
or 50 °dH (German grading) through 8 settings.
The settings are listed in the table below,
with the relative mains water to be treated.
