How much detergent to use
The amount
of detergent
to use
depends
on the hardness
of your
Water.
If too little is used, dishes won't
be clean.
However,
if too much
is
used in soft water, glassware
will be-
gin to etch.
Find out your water's hardness
by
asking your local water department,
water
softener
company
or county
extension
agent.

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
is 5 to 7 grains
per gallon,
or 85 toll9
park per million.
l
SOFT - Fill 1 or both sections
to bottom
line if water hardness
is 0 to4 grains 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.R 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
when it is empty
Make
sure

door is fully open when refilling. Do not fill past the
smallest opening
in the lower part of the dispenser.
If you overfill,
excess rinse aid can come out. This will not harm the dishwasher.
