Caring for your dinnerware The combination of high temperatures and dishwasher detergent may cause damage to some items if they are washed in the DishDrawer®. Remember, if in any doubt about any aspect concerning items washed in the DishDrawer®, follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the items, or wash the item by hand. Cutlery & Silverware Glassware All cutlery and silverware should be rinsed immediately after use to prevent tarnishing caused by some foods.
Dishwasher standards test The DishDrawer®s are tested to various standards for both wash and dry performance. The following are loading pattern diagrams, detergent and rinse agent quantities used for the DishDrawer®. Wash Programme Normal Eco Detergent Quantities 5g (pre wash) per drawer 10g (main wash) per drawer Rinse Agent Setting 4 Water Softener Setting Adjust the water softener to match the water hardness. Refer to the water softener and option adjustment section.
Accessories The inserts and racks can be added or removed to suit your individual needs. If you have the double DishDrawer® model, some of the accessories are interchangeable between the two drawers. For example you can combine the two Mega Racks into one drawer and wash all cups and glasses, leaving the other drawer for plates and larger items. a. Basket The basket holds some of the accessories in place and keeps dishes away from the spray arm. c b.
Cup Racks Cups, glasses and kitchen utensils can be placed on the left and right hand side of the cup racks. For best performance ensure there are no large items below, blocking the wash water from reaching the cup racks. Wine glasses can be supported on the cup racks if used in conjunction with the Mega Rack. There are stops on the cup rack to prevent cups from touching the DishDrawer® wall. This will maximize the dry and wash performance.
Loading Wash water for the DishDrawer® comes from the spray arm which is situated inside the base of the drawer. The spray arm rotates, providing wash water to all areas of the wash compartment so care needs to be taken when loading dishes to ensure there is enough space and room for the water to reach all areas, particularly the cup racks. If there are any items blocking the spray arm path or the wash water, then the performance will be ineffective.
How NOT to load your DishDrawer® figure 1 - overcrowding figure 2 - nesting Overcrowded and wash water will not reach some of the dinnerware. The plates are nesting together and wash water may not get through. Cups, glasses and bowls must have their openings facing downwards. Ensure cutlery are not nesting or stuck together. They need to be evenly spread out.

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.
Important! The water softener must always be filled with granular salt made especially for dishwasher water softening systems e.g. Somat salt. Do not use of 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 b Water softening can only take place when there is salt in the reservoir.
Rinse agent dispenser We highly recommend the regular use of liquid rinse agent to give the best drying results. Rinse agent gives a streak free, sparkling clean look to glass and chinaware, in addition it prevents metal from tarnishing. The rinse agent dispenser is on the inside of the drawer, located underneath the detergent dispenser. The dispenser holds approximately 50ml of rinse agent. Filling the rinse agent dispenser 1 Turn the plug counter-clockwise and remove.
Option adjustments The following options can be adjusted to suit your preferences. Rinse Agent setting Reduce the Rinse agent setting if there is excess foam after a wash program. Increase the Rinse agent setting if dishes are wet or streaky after a wash program. Water Softener setting for models DD603H and DS603H only Refer to the Water Softener section.
