Notice :

special softening salt. In this case the ‘salt’ control indicator lights up continually.
If your local hardness level exceeds 47 American degree of hardness, you should consider
getting a water softening device for your dishwasher. If you use stream water or rainwater,
you are advised to install filters.
If you move do not forget to adjust the water hardness level to suit your new neighborhood.
If the model does not have a salt dispenser ignore this changes. Water hardness level must
