Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of your water supply.
You should not need to add excess detergent to you dishwasher as it incorporates specially designed water softeners.
Always fill the detergent dispenser at the start of each cycle - see the wash cycle table above.
A normal wash usually requires one tablespoon of detergent - items which are heavily soiled may require extra.
Always make sure that you do not add the detergent too early - if left in the appliance for too long the detergent may become damp,
which can cause problems with dissolving.
To remove hard water spots, try the following:
Run dishes through a normal wash program.
Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc.,
from the dishwasher.
Do not add detergent.
Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face
up on the lower rack of the dishwasher.
Run the dishes through a normal wash program.
If this doesn't work, try the same process with 1 / 4 cup of
citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out
of reach of children.
Detergent
for main wash
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers.
