[. . . ] DD603 and DS603 Series Models Dishwasher User guide US CA Installation checklist Your installer MUST have completed and checked the following: The DishDrawer® is square and level. Ensure moisture protection tape has been applied and the cabinet is sealed according to the DishDrawer® Installation Instructions. The DishDrawer® must be free to close completely with no resistance from cabinetry. For the integrated models, check the 5/16" air gap has been achieved in the correct place. [. . . ] Large utensils should be on cup racks so they do not become dislodged and stop the spray arm from rotating. Sharp or pointed items must be placed horizontally or with sharp edges/points facing downward to avoid risk of injury. 13 Detergent dispenser c Important! Only use powdered detergent recommended for domestic automatic dishwashers in the detergent dispenser. Never sprinkle or pour detergent directly onto any item in the DishDrawer®. Tablets and liquid detergents are not suitable to be used in the DishDrawer®. Hand washing liquids, soap, laundry detergents or disinfectants will damage the DishDrawer®. a, b e d closed detergent dispenser Filling the detergent dispenser 1 Press the latch down and the door will open.

Water type Wash program Detergent quantities prewash (teaspoons) main wash (teaspoons) Hard (>150ppm or >9gpg) Medium (100-150ppm or 6-9gpg) Soft (<100ppm or <6gpg) All* All* Heavy Normal Delicate Fast 2 2 1 1 6 4 3 2 1 1 *No detergent is required in the pre wash compartment for the fast wash program. 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®. Soft water situations If you live in an area of naturally soft water or your household water is softened, avoid using too much detergent in your DishDrawer®. An excess amount of detergent is very aggressive on glassware and may cause irreversible etching. Etching is a chemical deterioration that occurs on the surface of glassware when it is subjected to high temperatures, too much detergent and/or soft water situations. 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 User Guide for soft water situations), and ensure the dishwasher is not overloaded, so water can reach all the dishes during the wash. 15 Water softener (DD603-H, DS603-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.
