for dishwashers. Do not use table salt or industrial salt.

If you are using a multi-function product, we recommend
that you add salt in any case, especially if the water is hard
or very hard.
(Followtheinstructionsgivenonthepackaging.)
If you do not add salt or rinse aid, the LOW SALT* and
LOW RINSE AID
* indicator lights will remain lit.
