Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
Filling the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent
dispenser
has one main wash and one
pre wash cup. The covered
cups open automatically
to release
detergent.
•
Use only fresh automatic
dishwashing
detergent.
Other detergents
will cause
oversudsing.
•
When using automaticdishwashing
detergent
tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and
close.
•
Add detergent
just before starting
cycle.
•
Store
detergent
in a cool, dry
location.
Moist
or caked detergent
will not dissolve
properly.
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.
Use only household
grade
automatic
dishwasher
detergents.
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 a permanent
film called etching.
Your
local water company,
water softener
company
or
county extension
agent can tell you the water
hardness
in your area.

*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.
