Dishwasher - Detergent Cup 15/25 Label
Some dishwasher models have a detergent cup that is divided and marked with 15 and 25 in the divided sections. The purpose of this is to assist you with the amount of detergent to use in your dishwasher.
Using the 15/25 Detergent Cup In a Dishwasher
The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. With hard water, extra detergent is needed. With soft water, less detergent is needed.
The detergent cup has two sections that will be marked 15 or 25 for ease of use.

The below chart can be used as a guideline to determine the amount of detergent to use in the detergent cup.
| Number of Grains | Amount of Detergent |

| 4 to 8 | 25 cup |
| 8 to 12 | 15 and 25 cup |
