• If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 50°dH or if you are using well
water, than it is recommended to use filter and water purification devices.
• Since your machine has an Automatic Water Hardness Detection System, you need to
add salt suitable for the dishwasher when the Salt Indicator light turns on.If you do not
add salt, the Automatic Water Hardness Detection System will not function correctly.
Even though your machine is equipped with Automatic Water Hardness Detection
System, water hardness setting is done by the authorised service agent/user
during the first setup. When moving, your dishwasher will set the water hardness
automatically, depending on the water hardness level of the place you have moved to.
