Water hardness

Water hardness can be

different for different

locations. Water hardness

has an effect on the water

conductivity and the

operation of the conductivity

sensor in the appliance. If

you know the value of the

water conductivity you can

adjust the sensor to dry with

the better results

(recommended to set the

"soft water hardness" to get

the laundry more dried).

The appliance allows you to chose

between 3 levels (Hard, Medium, Soft)

corresponding to different ranges of

water hardness.

Depending on the country, the water

hardness is expressed in equivalent

scales: e.g. French degrees (°f), German

degrees (°d), English degrees (°e),

mmol/l and ppm
If necessary, please contact your local
