Whether you use a standard detergent
or multi-tabs (with or without salt), set
the proper water hardness level to
keep the salt refill indicator active.
Multi-tabs containing salt
are not effective enough to
soften hard water.

6.2 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.
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. It is important to set the
right level of the water softener to assure
good washing results.
