      ■  How to set up a water softener

         - Water softeners can be used to remove stains inside dishwashers.
 

          - Softener settings should be adjusted according to water hardness for an effective washing.
 

         - Salt must be supplied regularly to maintain water softener’s performance.
            It should be added before running a washing cycle, and Refill Salt will flash when salt is short.

 

       ▶ How to set up

 

       1) Please contact your water provider to check water hardness. 
   

       2) You can also check with a tester enclosed in a manual.
