When the salt warning light on the control panel illuminates, you should 
refill the salt compartment with salt only – do not add water to the salt

salt to prevent any damage to the dishwasher system.
Softener Adjustment
The efficiency of your dishwasher depends on the softness of the tap water. 
To ensure best efficiency, the dishwasher is equipped with a system that 
reduces the hardness in the mains water supply. The efficiency will increase 
when the system is correctly set. To find out the water hardness level 
of your water supply you can use the test strip supplied or alternatively 
contact your local water board.
1. Open the testing strip (figure 5).
2. Run water through the tap for one minute.
3. Hold the testing strip in water for one second.
4.  Remove from the water and shake the test strip to remove excess water.
5. Wait for one minute.
