What kind of detergent
to use
,Use automatic
dishwasher
detergent
only.
Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy
to work in the dishwasher.
Different brands of dishwasher detergent have
different amounts of phosphorus for softening
water. 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 until you are ready to
wash. Fresh automatic
dishwasher
detergent
is necessary
for best washing
results.
Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
The detergent
dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one section with a
cover and one without.
l
For cycles with one wash, put detergent in one
section only.
- Use the open section if the cycle begins with
a wash.
- Use the covered
section if the cycle begins
with a rinse.
l
For cycles with two washes, put detergent in
both sections.
l
Push the cover down until it is latched.
Detergent in the open section falls into the
dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered
section opens automatically
when the main
wash starts.
NOTE: It is normal for the cover to open partially
when dispensing detergent. The cover will open
fully when the door is opened.
How much detergent
to use
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 begin to etch.
Find out your water’s hardness by asking your
local water department, water softener company
or county extension agent.
l
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.
l
MEDIUM
- Fill 1 or both sections to middle line if
water hardness is 5 to 7 grains per gallon, or 85
to 119 parts per million.
l
SOFT
- Fill 1 or both sections to bottom line if
water hardness is 0 to 4 grains per gallon, or 0 to
66 parts per million
