determine the water hardness in your area,

contact your local water utility or area water

softening company. The harder the water,

the more detergent you may need. Refer to

the chart below for the recommended de-

tergent amounts based on water hardness.

Remember, you should adjust the amount

of detergent you use by small amounts until

you find the correct amount.

Twelve grains and higher is extremely hard

water and detergent alone may not be

enough. You may need to use a water soft-

ener to maximize the performance of your

dishwasher. Also, in areas with hard water

(9+) you may need to wash at lower temper-

atures to prevent hard water deposits from

forming in tank and wash system.

In hard water areas, both the dishes and

the machine can develop a white or gray

film after a while. This can be removed by

replacing the prewash detergent with two

tablespoons of citric acid. If the water is very

hard, use a rinse aid that contains citric acid.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent

have different amounts of phosphorous for

softening water. If you have hard water and

use a detergent with less than 8.7% phos-

phorous content, you may need to use more

detergent or use a detergent with more than

8.7% phosphorous content.

NOTE:

We recommend that you do not add pre-

wash detergent for the Quick wash pro-

grams.

NOTE:

If you use a dishwashing detergent with

a rinse aid additive, you should not fill the

rinse aid dispenser. This could cause a film

Dishwasher tablets

Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the

dispenser cover. There is a risk that the

dishwasher detergent will not break down
