Adjusting Salt Consumption
Salt consumption must be adjusted to correspond to the water hardness level in your area. If
you don’t know how hard the water in your home is, please ask the company that supplies water
in your area.
It is recommended that adjustments should be made in accordance with the following chart.

• Do not use everyday table salt or cooking salt as they contain insoluble substances which
could damage the dishwasher.
• Do not pour detergent into the salt container. This will damage the dishwasher.
