If the salt refill indicator lights up,
add special dishwasher salt to the
dispenser for salt just before the
cycle starts. The amount of spe-

pends on the water hardness. The
higher the water hardness, the
greater the amount of salt re-
quired.

softening system.

to the dispenser for special salt
immediately before the pro-
gram starts.
