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.
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 wash 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 cap 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/0.5 kg 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 reservoir, you may notice water being
displaced from the water softener
overflow.
