Before using for the first time Water softener To achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs soft water (water that is low in minerals). Hard water results in calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher. If your tap water hardness is above 4 °d (4 gr/gal) the water should be softened. The built-in water softener is designed for this purpose. The water softener is suitable for a water hardness up to 70 °d (73 gr/gal).

Before using for the first time Every dishwasher is tested before leaving the factory. Any water remaining in the machine is from the final factory test and does not indicate that the machine has been used. Important: The salt container must be filled with 2 quarts (2 l) of water before adding salt for the first time so the salt can dissolve properly. Water does not have to be added with subsequent refills.
Before using for the first time Refill salt message ^ When the "Salt" indicator light comes on, refill the salt after the program has finished. After the container has been filled, the "Salt" indicator light can remain on for a short time. It will go out once the reactivation process is complete. The "Salt" indicator light is turned off if you have programmed the dishwasher to a water hardness below 4 °d (4 gr/gal)).
