WATER SOFTENER

There are two ways to reduce the
using detergent.
The hardness of the water varies from place to place. If hard water is used in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes
and utensils.
The appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses salt specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from the
water.
Loading the Salt into the Softener
Always use salt intended for use with dishwashers.
The salt container is located beneath the lower rack and should be filled as follows:
NOTE: 1. The salt container must be refilled when the salt warning light comes on. Though the salt container is filled,
the indicator light may not black out before the salt fully dissolves.
2. If there are spills of salt, a soak program could be run to clean the spills.

Adjusting Salt Consumption

The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjusting the amount of salt consumed based on the hardness of the water used.
This is intended to optimize and customize the level of salt consumption.
