CAUTION
The use of industrial grade detergent can
damage parts of the dishwasher leading to
damage to the unit and surrounding property.
Use only household grade automatic dishwasher
detergents.
NOTE
Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup
on the interior of the dishwasher. For clean-
ing instructions see "Removing Spots and film"
section.
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the
water hardness. Water hardness is measured in
grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can
result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or
spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water
can cause etching to some glassware which is
surface damage that appears like a film but cannot
be wiped off. Your local water company, water
softener company or county extension agent can
tell you the water hardness in your area.
NOTE
Detergent tablets and All-In-One packs may not
dissolve completely if used with the QUICK WASH
cycles. If one of these products are used, place
the tab or pack directly on the bottom of the tub
in a corner before starting the dishwasher, rather
than placing these products in the dispenser.
