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

too mild
and

too
sudsy
to work
in the
dishwasher.
Different
brands
of
dishwasher
detergent
have
different
amounts
of phosphorus.
Phospho-
rus 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
un-
til you are ready to wash.
When using Delay
Wash,
make sure the detergent

The detergent
dispenser
has one section with a
cover and one without.
l

in one
section only.

begins with
a wash.

if the cycle
begins
with a rinse.

for the cover to open partially
when dispensing

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
begin
to etch.
Find out your water's
hardness
by
asking
your
local
water
depart-
ment, water
softener
company
or
county
extension
agent.
l
HARD - 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-
die line if water hardness
is 5 to 7 grains
per gallon, or 85 to 119 parts per million.
l
SOFT
.-
Fill 1 or both sections
to bottom
line If water hardness
is 0 to 4 grains per
gallon,
or 0 to 68 parts per million.
Rinse aid
dispenser
A rinse aid helps keep water from forming
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.The
Fill Indicator
Cap
shows when it's time to fill the rinse aid dis-
penser. When the fill level is low, the center of the cap will appear
to be clear.
Make sure dishwasher
door is fully open when filling. 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,
but could cause over-sudsing.
Keep the dispenser
fill
cap tightly
closed.
