USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING THE OUTER SURFACES

From time to time the wash program indicator panel and its surrounds need to be cleaned to remove food particles, hard water scale and any spillages. We recommend wiping these areas with a clean damp cloth.

Important!

We do not recommend the use of the following cleaning aids on your DishDrawer® as they may damage the surfaces:

Plastic or stainless steel scouring pads

Abrasive, solvent, household cleaners

Acid or alkaline cleaners

Hand washing liquids or soap

Laundry detergents or disinfectants

FOR PREFINISHED MODELS

Depending on the type of exterior finish on your DishDrawer®, we recommend the following:

Stainless Steel

This surface requires only a mild dishwashing detergent and warm water. Take care not to wet the control panel.

Dry with a clean lint-free cloth

DO NOT use proprietary “Stainless Steel” type cleaners or polishes as these may damage the protective coating.

Important!

Never use abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents as these will damage the stainless steel surface.

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.
