If the salt refill indicator lights up,
add special dishwasher salt to the

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

special dishwasher salt.

To make sure that any special
salt that escapes is washed out
of the tub, add the special salt
to the dispenser for special salt
immediately before the pro-
gram starts.

Unscrew the lid of the salt dis-
penser and remove.
