WATER SOFTENER (SOME MODELS ONLY)
The salt reservoir is located on the inside of
the drawer next to the detergent dispenser.
It holds up to approximately 0.8lb (350g) of
salt (actual capacity will vary depending on
brand and grain size of salt used).
Double models: each drawer has a separate
salt reservoir.
The salt reservoir must always be filled with granular salt designed for dishwasher water
softening. We do not recommend the use of cooking salt like table salt, rock salt or pellets
as they may contain impurities that will damage the water softener. Do not add detergent
or rinse aid to the salt reservoir. This will cause damage.

Water hardness recommendations
z
Use the table below to determine the optimal water hardness setting. Your local water
company will be able to help.
z
If you have a household water softener installed, use the setting recommended for water
with a hardness under 100 ppm/6 gpg, irrespective of the water hardness in your area.
z
If your water hardness is above 625 ppm/36 gpg, the wash performance of your
DishDrawer™ Dishwasher will decline over time. The rinse aid setting should be at 5.
