If the hardness level of the supply water is above 90 °dF or if you are using well water, then it
is recommended to use water purification devices and special filters.
If the hardness level of the supply water is below 13°dF, there is no need to use salt in your
dishwasher. If this is the case, “No Salt Warning Indicator” (if any) illuminates continuously on
the panel of your machine.
If the water hardness level adjustment is set to level 1, the “No salt warning indicator” will
illuminate continuously although it is not necessary to use salt. If you use salt under this
condition, salt will not be consumed and the Salt indicator will not illuminate.
