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