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 house-
hold 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 required at H:00 (default factory setting). The amount of salt
required depends on the degree of hardness of your tap water. See Table 1.
To change the water softener setting:
1
Open the door and press the ON/OFF button.
2
Hold down the A button (see page 6) and press START/RESUME until the
display indicates "H:00".
3 Release both buttons and press the C button to select the desired setting.
4 Save the selected setting by pressing Start/Resume and close the door.
