If the hardness level of the supply water is below 13°dF, there is no need to use salt in your 

dishwasher. If this is the case, “No Salt Warning Indicator” (if any) illuminates continuously on 

the panel of your machine.

If the water hardness level 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 Salt indicator will not illuminate.
