THE WATER SOFTENER (SOFTWATER TECHNOLOGY) 5.1 Introduction The water contains harsh minerals. The higher the content of these minerals the harder the water is. Hard water can reduce the effectiveness of the detergent, reduce the softness of fabrics and contribute towards shrinkage and colour fading. This appliance is equipped with a water softener able to provide the right degree of water softening to preserve the fabric integrity, colour brightness and ensuring good wash performances at low temperature. The water softener should be adjusted according to the water hardness of your inlet water. A correct setting allows to achieve the best washing results and the maximum garments protection. To set the water softener correctly, please refer to 'How to set the water hardness level'.
