CAUTION
The use of industrial grade detergent
can damage parts of the dishwasher
leading to damage to the unit and
surrounding property. Use only
household grade automatic dishwasher
detergents.
NOTE
Hard water may cause lime deposit
buildup on the interior of the dish-
washer. For cleaning instructions see
"Removing Spots and film" section.
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends
on the water hardness. Water hardness is
measured in grains per gallon. Using too
little detergent can result in poor cleaning
and hard water filming or spotting. Using
too much detergent in soft water can
cause etching to some glassware which
is surface damage that appears like a film
but cannot be wiped off. Your local water
company, water softener company or
county extension agent can tell you the
water hardness in your area.
NOTE
Detergent tablets and All-In-One packs
may not dissolve completely if used with
the QUICK WASH cycles. If one of these
products are used, place the tab or pack
directly on the bottom of the tub in a
corner before starting the dishwasher,
rather than placing these products in the
dispenser.
