Usage Notes:
- Always use dishwasher salt in the salt compartment alongside this filter — the filter softens water; the salt regenerates the filter
- Check water hardness in your area: if above 21°dH, replace the filter every 4-6 weeks
- Never operate the dishwasher without the filter installed
- Store spare cartridges in a dry place, sealed in original packaging
