NOTE

For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended to

improve water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the beginning

of the main wash portion of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch

the door, open slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the

dishwasher will continue through the cycle.
