[. . . ] DRAWER STYLE DISHWASHER USE & CARE GUIDE MODELS: DD224 Series Models DD124 Series Models INSTALLATION CHECKLIST Your installer MUST have completed and checked the following: The DishDrawer® is square and level. The DishDrawer® is fastened securely to the cabinetry. Ensure moisture protection tape has been applied and the cabinet is sealed according to the DishDrawer® Installation Instructions. The DishDrawer® opens and closes freely. [. . . ] 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. 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®. 13 WATER SOFTENER DD224H, DD124H 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 0 1 2 3 4 5 Grains Per Gallon (gpg) 0-6 6 - 14 14 - 20 20 - 26 26 - 32 32 - 36 Parts Per Million (ppm) 0 - 100 100 - 250 250 - 350 350 - 450 450 - 550 550 - 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 2 Open the DishDrawer®. Unscrew the salt reservoir plug by turning counter-clockwise. 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. 3 14 4 5 Fit the cap tightly back into its original position. 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. 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. a 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. b Salt indicator light If the salt indicator light is red, the salt reservoir is empty. If the salt indicator light is black, there is enough salt in the reservoir for the wash program that has been selected. Salt reservoir a b Salt Indicator Light Salt Reservoir Cap Important! Do not pour detergent or rinse agent into the salt reservoir. Detergent and rinse agent will destroy the water softener. Salt Only NO Detergent NO Rinse Agent 15 RINSE AGENT DISPENSER We highly recommend the regular use of liquid rinse agent to give the best drying results.
