HARD WATER SITUATIONS
If you Live in a hard water situation, we recommend the instaLLation of a water softener to improve the water
quality, detergent effectiveness and prevent the build up of calcium deposits on dishes and in the
DishDrawer''_.
Certain brands of dishwasher detergent contain varying quantities of phosphates, which help soften water. We
suggest you use a detergent with high phosphate content to improve the wash. The detergent compartments need
to be compLeteLy FULL and rinse agent is used with its setting fixed at 5.
We recommend the use of a dishwasher cteaner/descaLer whenever you notice a build up of calcium deposits
in your DishDrawer _'.
After you have used the dishwasher cleaner/descaler you must run another wash program with detergent
to prevent damage to the
DishDrawer _.
SOFT WATER SITUATIONS
It is very important that if you are in a natural soft water supply or your water is softened you do not use too
much detergent in your DlshDrawer ®, as it may cause irreversible etching, n a dishwasher, softened water is more
aggressive on glassware than natural soft water so care needs to be taken with quantities of detergent used.
Etching is a chemical deterioration that occurs on the surface of glassware when it is subjected to high
temperatures, too much detergent and/or soft water situations. Etching is caused by a combination of very hot
water, which causes the detergent to be come very aggressive, but because the water is soft, there are no water
hardness mineral ions for the detergent to bind to, so it extracts mineral ions directly from the glass.
Etching initiaLLy Looks Like rainbow coLoured film, as the glass is subjected to further washing the surface wiLL
eventuaLLy appear opaque. This type of etching is irreversible.
To prevent etching from occurring on glassware use Less detergent (foLLow the recommended detergent quantities
in the User Guide for soft water situations), and ensure the dishwasher is not overloaded, so water can reach
aLLthe dishes during the wash.
