To configure the water softening system on your Bosch dishwasher and ensure optimal performance, follow these straightforward steps:

Adjusting Water Softening Settings:

1. Power on your Bosch dishwasher using the [ON/OFF] button.
2. Simultaneously press and hold the "A" button and the [Start/Resume] button until the display shows "H:00".
3. Release both buttons, then use the "C" button to select your desired water softening setting. Refer to your Bosch dishwasher's user manual for specific setting recommendations based on your water hardness.
4. Save your chosen setting by pressing the [Start/Resume] button.

Refilling the Salt Container:

1. Locate the cap of the salt container and open it.
2. If it's the first time using the unit, fill the container with water.
3. Add dishwasher salt until the container is full and the water is displaced.
4. Refill with salt promptly when the "Refill Salt" indicator illuminates on the display.

Important Note: Always use dishwasher-specific water softening salt. Regular maintenance and adherence to these instructions will help your Bosch dishwasher deliver sparkling clean dishes. If you need further assistance or have additional questions, contact Bosch Customer Service at 1-800-944-2904.
