If Your Home Has Naturally Soft Or Softened Water - Fisher & Paykel DD*C Series Operating Instructions Manual

If your dishwasher has no built-in water softener and you live in a hard water area, we recommend
fitting a water softener to the household water supply. If the water hardness in your home is above
250 ppm/14.6 gpg (US), a water softener has to be fitted to maintain the performance of your
dishwasher.

If your Home has Naturally Soft or Softened Water:

• Avoid using too much detergent. Follow the quantity recommendations on the following pages.
• Ensure the drawer is not overloaded and water can reach all the dishes.
Wash Programs and Powdered Detergent Quanitities
• Find out about water hardness in your home, then use the table below to determine how much powdered detergent
to use for each wash program. See also section 'Waterhardness and dishwashing'.
• For information on which program to use for your load, see your 'Quick start guide'.
• The main powdered detergent dispenser has markings to help you measure the correct quantities. See following
section 'Adding detergent'.
