HOW MUCH DETERGENT TO USE
The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your load, the
type of detergent used and the hardness of your water.
•
If you use too little detergent, dishes won't be clean.
•
If you have soft water and use too much detergent, glassware will etch.
Water Hardness
Water hardness varies depending on your water source. For the best
results, your dishwasher is designed to operate with water that has a
hardness of no more than 7 grains per gallon. Test kits are available from
all major appliance parts retail outlets. If your water has a hardness over 8
grains per gallon, you may consider installing a water softener or regularly
use an additive to enhance the performance of your detergent.

PROPER USE OF RINSE AID

Rinse aid prevents water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or
streaks. A small amount of the rinse aid is released into the final rinse
water, which allows water to drain from the dishes.
Rinse aid greatly improves drying performance after the final rinse.
Your dishwasher is designed to use a LIQUID rinse aid. Do not use a solid
or bar-type rinse aid.
RINSE AID DISPENSER
Under normal conditions, you will need to fill the rinse aid dispenser
approximately once a month. Rinse aid is released through an opening in
the dispenser. You do not need to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill
it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it.
