Setting the special salt
dosage
The dosage of special salt for the water softening must
be set to the corresponding hardness of the water. If
the dosage is too small, scale particles will remain on
the crockery and cutlery. Information regarding the wa-
ter hardness and the hardness areas in the area in
which you live can be obtained from the local Water
Authority.
For a water hardness under 5dH, no special salt is nee-
ded. In this case, the salt display (9) is continually illu-
minated.
Set up the dosage as follows:
Turn the setting button using a coin or a screwdriver
(Size 4) until the arrow on the knob points to the desi-
red number (1 to 5):
The arrow must point to a number and the posi-
tion must be engaged positively.
