Accessories The inserts and racks can be added or removed to suit your individual needs. If you have the double DishDrawer® model, some of the accessories are interchangeable between the two drawers. For example you can combine the two Mega Racks into one drawer and wash all cups and glasses, leaving the other drawer for plates and larger items.

Accessories Cup racks Cups, glasses and kitchen utensils can be placed on the left and right hand side of the cup racks. For best performance ensure there are no large items below, blocking the wash water from reaching the cup racks.
Loading Wash water for the DishDrawer® comes from the spray arm which is situated inside the base of the drawer. The spray arm rotates, providing wash water to all areas of the wash compartment so care needs to be taken when loading dishes to ensure there is enough space for the water to reach all areas, particularly the cup racks.

Detergent dispenser Important! Only use powdered detergent recommended for domestic automatic dishwashers in the detergent dispenser. Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline and can be dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep children and infirm persons away from the DishDrawer® when the drawer is open. Check that the detergent receptacle is empty after completion of the wash cycle.
Dishwasher detergent Detergent quantities The detergent quantities recommended below are for individual drawers. Wash programmes main wash (g)* Heavy Normal Delicate Fast * 5g equates to approximately 1 teaspoon, 15g equates to approximately 1 tablespoon. Dishwasher tablets Dishwasher tablets can be used instead of powdered detergent. Tablets can either be placed in the cutlery basket or alternatively, placed directly in the wash compartment as below.
Water softener 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.

Water softener Important! The water softener must always be filled with granular salt made especially for dishwasher water softening systems. We do not recommend the use of cooking salt like table salt, rock salt or pellets as they may contain impurities that will impair or diminish the life of the water softener. The salt reservoir Water softening can only take place when there is salt in the reservoir.
Rinse aid dispenser We highly recommend the regular use of liquid rinse aid to give the best drying results. Rinse aid gives a streak free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware. In addition it prevents metal from tarnishing. The rinse aid dispenser is on the inside of the drawer, located underneath the detergent dispenser.
Reduce the Rinse aid setting if there is excess foam after a wash programme. Increase the Rinse aid setting if dishes are wet or streaky after a wash programme. Water Softener setting (DS605H and DD605H only) Refer to the Water Softener section.
