Setting up the water softener
Using hard water (above 100ppm) for dishwashing can be detrimental to the performance of
your DishDrawer®. Glasses will become opaque and dishes will become spotted or covered in a
white film.
Determine the water hardness in your local area
Your local water company will be able to provide you with information. Identify the setting you
require for your DishDrawer® from the water hardness table below. For example, if your water
hardness is 500ppm, then the water softener setting on your DishDrawer® should be 4. Refer to
the 'Option adjustments' section to adjust the water softener so that the setting corresponds to
your water hardness.
Notes:
If your water hardness is above 625ppm, we highly recommend you completely fill the detergent
compartment for all programmes except Rinse and the rinse aid setting should be at 5. If your
water hardness is above 625ppm, the wash performance of your DishDrawer® will decline.
You may hear some unusual noises when the water softener is in operation, this is normal.
