How much detergentto use
Iz
The amount of detergent to uea depends on the herdnass of
your water and the type of detergent, ff you use too retie,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
m Water hardness can change over a pedod of time. Find out
your water's hardness by asking your local water department,
water softener company, or county extension agent.
Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different
amounts of phosphorous for softening water. If you have hard
water and use a detergent with a phosphorous
content of
less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use
a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

RinseAid Dispenser
Rinse aids ixevent water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots er streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes during the final rinss by rek_ng
a small
amount of the rinse aid into the rinss water. Your dishwasher is
designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or ber-type.
Cheofdngthe d_nser
Check the center of the Fill Indicator cap. Clear means it needs
filling.
Or you can remove the Fill Indicator cap. If an "E" is visible, the
dispenser is empty.
RHing the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 6 oz (175 mL) of rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about three months. You do
