Adding detergent
The kind and amount
of dishwasher
detergent
you use is an important
part of
getting
your dishes clean.

carefully.

dish-
washer
detergent
only.

detergents
are
too mild
and
much
too
sudsy
to work
in the
dishwasher.
Different
brands
of
dishwasher
detergent
have
different
amounts
of
phosphorus.
Phos-
phorus softens water and
helps
prevent
water
spots on dishes.
If water
is hard
and
phosphorus
content
is
low (6.0% or less), you
may
need
to use more
detergent
or use a brand
with a higher phosphorus
content
(8.7% or higher).
Do not add
detergent
until
you
are
ready
to
wash.
Fresh automatic
dishwasher
detergent
is necessary
for best
washing
results.
Store
detergent
tightly
closed
in a cool dry place.

The amount
of detergent
to use
depends
on the hardness
of your
water. If too little is used, dishes won't
be clean.

if too much

used
in soft water,
glassware
will
begin
to etch.
Find out your water's
hardness
by
asking
your
local
water
depart-
ment, water
softener
company
or
county
extension
agent.

Fill 1 or both sections to top line
if water
hardness
is 8 or more grains
per gallon,
or 136 or more parts
per
million.
l
MEDIUM - Fill 1 or both sections
to mid-
dle line if water hardness
is5 to 7 grains
per gallon,
or 85 toll9
parts per million.
. SOFT - Fill 1 or both sections
to bottom
line if water hardness
is 0 to4grains
per
gallon,
or 0 to 68 parts per million.
Rinse aid dispenser

droplets
and drying
as spots. Keep the dispenser
filled with a rinse aid such as Jet-
Dry." A small amount
is released
automatically
during
the final
rinse of each
cycle.
Check the dispenser
periodically
to see if it needs refilling. An
"E" will be visible
inside dispenser

Do not fill past the
smallest opening
in the lower part of the dispenser.
