Setting the water softener
The water softener removes minerals and
salts from the water supply. Minerals and
salts can have bad effect on the operation of
the appliance.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent
scales:
mg/I (millimol per litre)
ppm (parts per million),
mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit
for the hardness of water).
Adjust the water softener in to the water
hardness in your area. If necessary, contact
your local water authority.
