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 pro-
vided is not needed.
For the water softening system to function properly, it will need to use
the dishwasher water softening salt. The amount of salt dispensed can
be set from “H:00” to “H:07”. Salt is not required at H:00 (this is the
default factory setting). The amount of salt required depends on the
degree of hardness of your tap water. See
Table 1
.

Using the water hardness test strip
Salt
Refill the salt container, using a funnel to pour, right before turning on the unit
to ensure that salt overflow is immediately washed away. This prevents corro-
sion. See
Figure 1
.
1
Open the screw cap of the salt container.
2
Fill the container with water (only required when turning on the unit for the
first time).
3
Add dishwasher salt until the was is displaced and runs out.
4
Refill with salt as soon as the salt refill indicator is lit.
Warning:
Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. It will destroy the water
softening system. To prevent corrosion, refill with salt and immediately begin any cycle.
Note: Refill salt only when the “Refill Salt” LED or the salt refill symbol is lit (model dependent).
Do not use salt tablets or any salt other than dishwasher water softening salt.
For more information about ordering salt please contact Customer Service.
