WATER SOFTENER .DD224.H, DD124.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 Option Adjustments section to adjust the water softener so that the setting corresponds to your water hardness. DishDrawer® setting Grains Per Gallon (gpg) Parts Per Million (ppm) 0 0 - 6 0 - 100 1 6 - 14 100 - 250 2 14 - 20 250 - 350 3 20 - 26 350 - 450 4 26 - 32 450 - 550 5 32 - 36 550 - 625 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 performance of your DishDrawer® will decline. You may hear some unusual noises when the water softener is in operation, this is normal. HOW TO FILL THE SALT RESERVOIR 1 Open the DishDrawer®. 2 Unscrew the salt reservoir plug by turning counter-clockwise. 3 Place the salt into the salt container and pour the contents into the salt reservoir. The salt reservoir can hold just over one pound of salt. 4 Fit the cap tightly back into its original position. 5 If you do not wash your dishes immediately after filling the salt reservoir, run a rinse program to remove any salt water or spilt granules. Note When filling the salt dispenser, you may notice water being displaced from the water softener overflow. Important! The water softener must always be filled with granular salt made especially for dishwasher water softening systems e.g. Somat salt. Do not use cooking salt like table, rock, pellets or salt for domestic water softeners as they may contain impurities that will impair or diminish the life of the water softener. b The salt reservoir Water softening can only take place when there is salt in the reservoir. The salt reservoir must be filled prior to using the DishDrawer® and whenever the salt reservoir indicator light is red. a Salt indicator light Salt reservoir If the salt indicator light is red, the salt reservoir a Salt Indicator Light is empty. b Salt Reservoir Cap If the salt indicator light is black, there is enough salt in the reservoir for the wash program that has been selected. Important! Do not pour detergent or rinse agent into the salt reservoir. Detergent and rinse Salt Only agent will destroy the water softener. NO Detergent NO Rinse Agent RINSE AGENT DISPENSER We highly recommend the regular use of liquid rinse agent to give the best drying results. Rinse agent gives a streak free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware, in addition it prevents metal from tarnishing. The rinse agent dispenser is on the inside of the drawer, located underneath the detergent dispenser. The dispenser holds approximately 50ml of rinse agent. FILLING THE RINSE AGENT DISPENSER 1 Turn the plug counter-clockwise and remove. 2 Pour the rinse agent into the circular opening. 3 Take care not to spill rinse agent into the DishDrawer®. Any spillages must be wiped up to prevent excess foaming. Failure to wipe rinse agent spillages may result in a service call which will not be covered by warranty. 4 Fit the plug back into the original position. How much rinse agent to use The regulator may need adjusting to suit your water conditions. The lowest setting is ‘1’ and the highest is ‘5’. Refer to Option Adjustments section to adjust the rinse agent setting. If there is excessive foam at the end of the wash, reduce the setting. If dishes are wet or streaky after drying, increase the setting. Rinse agent indicator light If the rinse agent indicator light is red, refill the dispenser. If the rinse agent indicator light is dimly lit or not lit at all, there is enough rinse agent for the wash. Note Lighter colored rinse agents will not dim the indicator light as effectively as darker colored rinse agents. When the rinse agent is being dispensed, you may notice some unusual noises during the wash, this is normal. OPTION ADJUSTMENTS The following options can be adjusted to suit your preferences.
