Adding detergent
The kind and amount
of dishwasher
detergent
you use is an important
part of
getting
your dishes clean.
Read this section carefully,
Use automatic
dish-
washer
detergent
only.

detergents
are
too mild and
much
too
sudsy
to work
in the
dishwasher.
Different
brands
of
dishwasher
detergent
have
different
amounts
of
phosphorus.
Phos-
phorus 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

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 be-
gin to etch.
Find out your water's hardness
by
asking your local water department,
water
softener
company
or county
extension
agent.

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.
. MEDIUM - Fill 1 or both sections
to mid-
dle line if water hardness
is 5 to 7 grains
per gallon,
or 85 to119 parts per million.
l
SOFT - Fill 1 or both sections
to bottom
line if water hardness

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. An
"E" will be visible
inside dispenser
when it is empty
Make sure
dishwasher
door is fully open when refilling. 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.
