Water Hardness Level Adjustment Table
If the hardness level of the water that you use is above 80 °dF (French standard
for water hardness) or if you are using well water, then it is recommended to use
filter and water purification devices.
If the hardness level of the water that you use is below 9°dF (French standard for
water hardness), there is no need to use salt in your dishwasher.
If the water hardness adjustment is set to level 1, the “No salt warning indicator”
will illuminate continuously although it is not necessary to use salt. If you use salt
under this condition, salt will not be consumed and the lamp will not illuminate.
If the tap water is excessively (6th
degree) hard, set the water hardness
adjustment to level 5 and “Regenera-
tion Adjustment Switch” to position 1.
