NOTE
The salt container must only be refilled when the salt warning light in the control panel
comes on. Depending on how well the salt dissolves, the salt warning light may still be on
even though the salt container is filled.
If there is no salt warning light in the control panel (for some models), you can estimate
when to fill the salt into the softener by the cycles that the dishwasher has run.
If salt has spilled, run a soak or quick program to remove it.
Water Softener
The water softener must be set manually, using the water hardness dial.
The water softener is designed to remove minerals and salts from the water, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
The more minerals there are, the harder your water is.
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water in your area.
Your local Water Authority can advise you on the hardness of the water in your area.
Adjusting salt consumption
The dishwasher is designed to allow for adjustment in the amount of salt consumed
based on the hardness of the water used. This is intended to optimise and customise
the level of salt consumption.
Please follow the steps below for adjustment in salt consumption.
1. Close the door, switch on the appliance.
2. Within 60 seconds after the appliance was switched on press the Program
button for more than 5 seconds to enter the water softener setting mode.
3. Press the Program button again to select the proper setting according to your
local water hardness, the setting will change in the following sequence:
H3->H4->H5->H6->H1->H2->H3;
4. Without operation in 5 seconds or press the Power button to complete the setup
and exit the setup mode.
