The detergent dispenser has one main wash and
one pre-wash cup. The covered cups open
automatically to release detergent.
Use only automatic dishwashing detergent.
Other detergents will cause oversudsing.
When using automatic dishwashing
detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash
cups and close.
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
Store detergent in a cool, dry location.
Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve
properly.
The amount of detergent to use depends on the
water hardness. Water hardness is measured in
grains pergallon (gpg). "Hard water" contains large
amounts, 9-12 grains per gallon (GPG), of minerals.
Harder water will require more detergent and may
also result in deposits on dishware and unit internal
surfaces.
Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning
and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much
detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film
called "etching." (See Etching, page 19.)
Your local water company, water softener company
or county extension agent can tell you the water
hardness in your area.
