Soft water situations

If you live in an area of naturally soft water or your household water is softened, avoid using too much detergent in your DishDrawer®. An excess amount of detergent is very aggressive on glassware and may cause irreversible etching.

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 become 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 looks like rainbow colored film, as the glass is subjected to further washing the surface will eventually appear opaque. This type of etching is irreversible.

To prevent further etching from occurring on glassware use less detergent (follow the recommended detergent quantities in the Use & Care for soft water situations), and ensure

the dishwasher is not overloaded, so water can reach all the dishes during

the wash.

Hard water situations

If you live in a hard water situation, we recommend the installation of a household 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 cleaner/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®.

DD124, DD224 specifications

DCS DD224 and DCS DD124 are advanced destroyers designed to meet modern naval warfare requirements. These vessels are built for high-performance operations and are equipped with a myriad of cutting-edge technologies to enhance their combat capabilities.

One of the standout features of the DCS DD224 and DD124 is their stealth technology. These destroyers are designed with a low radar cross-section, making them harder to detect by enemy radar systems. This stealth capability is crucial for conducting surprise attacks and naval maneuvering in contested waters.

Both destroyers are equipped with state-of-the-art weapon systems, including vertical launch systems capable of firing a range of missiles, such as anti-ship, air defense, and land-attack missiles. The multi-role capability of these vessels makes them suitable for various mission profiles, from anti-surface warfare to anti-air operations and even humanitarian assistance.

The sensor suite of DCS DD224 and DD124 includes advanced radar systems, such as phased-array radars that provide 360-degree coverage. These radar systems offer tracking and targeting capabilities for aerial threats, surface vessels, and submarines. Additionally, the ships are equipped with an integrated combat management system, which enables efficient decision-making and coordination among various onboard systems.

To enhance their operational efficiency, both destroyers are powered by combined diesel and gas (CODAG) propulsion systems. This configuration provides a good balance between speed and fuel efficiency, allowing them to reach high speeds of up to 30 knots. The propulsion system is designed for endurance, enabling long-distance missions without frequent refueling.

Furthermore, the DCS DD224 and DD124 feature advanced communication systems that ensure seamless connectivity with other naval assets. This capability is critical for modern naval operations, allowing for real-time information sharing and coordination during joint exercises or combat scenarios.

The onboard living conditions for the crew are also designed with comfort in mind, featuring modern amenities that help reduce fatigue during extended deployments. Overall, the DCS DD224 and DD124 represent a significant advancement in naval destroyer design, integrating technology, versatility, and operational effectiveness to meet the challenges of contemporary maritime warfare.
