The dishwasher is factory set for water hardness level 3 (average hardness 41-60°dF ­ 24-31°dH).

The salt container can hold approximately 1. 7 Kg of salt in grains. The container is situated at the bottom of the dishwasher. The optical level indicator on the side of the cap should be completely obscured.
