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 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.
