Dishwasher Setup

Water Softening System

Your dishwasher requires soft water to ensure proper washing results and is equipped with an internal water softening system.

However, if you have a household water softening system, the internal system provided is not needed.

For the water softening system to function properly, it will need to use dishwasher water softening salt.

The amount of salt dispensed can be set from "H:00" to "H:07".

Salt is not used at H:00 (default factory setting).

The amount of salt required depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water.

See Table 1.
