Setting the water softener
The water softener removes minerals and
salts from the water supply. Minerals and
salts can have a bad effect on the operation
of the appliance.
Equivalent scales measure the water hard-
ness:
• German degrees (dH°).
• French degrees (°TH).
• mmol/l (millimol for each litre - international
unit for the hardness of water).
• Clarke degrees.
Adjust the water softener to the water hard-
ness in your area. If necessary, contact your
local water authority.
