Filling the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent

has one covered
and one
uncovered
cup. Detergent

cup falls
into the dishwasher
when
the door is closed.
The
covered
cup
opens
automatically
to
release
detergent.
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
_n poor cleaning
and hard water filming
or spotting.
Using too much detergent
in soft water can cause a
)ermanent
film
called
etching.
Your
local
water
company,
water
softener
company
or county
extension
agent can tell you the water hardness
in
you r area.
The
use
of
industrial
grade
detergent
can
damage
the heating
coil and other parts of the
dishwasher
leading to damage
to the unit and
surrounding
property.

grade
automatic
dishwasher
detergents.

dishwashing
detergent.

*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.
