If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 90°dF (French standard for water
hardness) or if you are using well water, than it is recommended to use filter and water
purification devices.
Since your machine has an Automatic Water Hardness Detection System, you need to add salt
suitable for the dishwasher when the Salt Indicator light turns on.
If you do not add salt, the Automatic Water Hardness Detection System will not function
correctly.
