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
appliance’s operation.
The more minerals there are, the harder your water is.
The softener should be adjusted according to the water hardness in
your area. Contact your local Water Authority for advice on the water
hardness in your area.

Please check section 3 “Loading the Salt Into the Softener” of PART I:
Generic Version, if your dishwasher lacks salt.
NOTE:
If your model does not have any water softener, you may skip this
section.
Water Softener
Water hardness varies from place to place. If hard water is used
in the dishwasher, deposits will form on the dishes and utensils.
This appliance is equipped with a special softener that uses a salt
container specifically designed to eliminate lime and minerals from
the water.
