Water and salt can come out
from the salt container when

corrosion. To prevent it, start
a programme immediately

6.3 The water softener
The water softener removes minerals
from the water supply, which would have
a detrimental effect on the washing
results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals,
the harder your water is. Water hardness
is measured in equivalent scales.
ENGLISH 9

The water 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. Set the right level of the
water softener to assure good washing
results.
Softening hard water
increases the consumption
of water and energy as well
as the programme duration.
The higher the level of water
softener, the higher the
consumption and the longer
the duration.
