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 set-
ting). The amount of salt required depends on the degree of hardness of
your tap water. See
Table 1
