5.5 Water hardness
If the water hardness in your area is
high or moderate, we recommend that
you use a water softener for washing
machines. In areas where the water
hardness is soft it is not necessary to
use a water softener.
To know the water hardness in your
area, contact your local water author-
ity.
Use the correct quantity of the water
softener. Obey the instructions that
you fi nd on the packaging of the prod-
uct.
