If Your Home Has Hard Water And Your Dishwasher Has No Built-In Water Softener; If Your Home Has Naturally Soft Or Softened Water; Wash Programs And Detergent Quantities - Fisher & Paykel DD60DAW9 Operating Instructions Manual

If Your Home has Hard Water and Your Dishwasher has No Built-in Water Softener:

• Follow the detergent quantity recommendations on the following pages.
• If available, use a detergent with high phosphate content. Phosphate softens the water and this improves wash
results. If detergent with phosphate is not available, we recommend using multi-purpose tablets.
• Use rinse aid. We recommend you raise the rinse aid setting to 5 to help improve wash performance. See
quickstart guide for instructions.
• Use a dishwasher cleaner/descaler regularly, or whenever you notice a build-up of limescale deposits in your
dishwasher.
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 Detergent Quantities

• Find out about water hardness in your home, then use the table below to determine how much powdered detergent

• 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'.
