Water softener (DD24-H models only)

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 four. Refer to the ‘Option adjustments’ section to adjust the water softener so that the setting corresponds to your water hardness.

Note:

If your water hardness is above 625ppm, we highly recommend you completely fill the detergent compartment for all programs except Rinse and the rinse agent setting be at 5. If your water hardness is above 625ppm, the wash performance of your DishDrawer® will decline.
