Wash programmes
Detergent quantities
Find out about water hardness in your home, then use the table below to determine how much
detergent to use for each wash programme. See also section ‘Water hardness and dishwashing’.
The detergent dispenser has markings to help you measure the correct quantities. See following
section ‘Detergent dispenser’.
* If you have a household water softener installed or your DishDrawer has a built-in water softener
(GB IE models only) use the quantities recommended for water with a hardness
under 100 ppm/6 gpg, irrespective of the water hardness in the area. See also section ‘Water softener
’.
