Proper
Use
of
Detergent:
• The amount
of detergent
to use depends
on the type of water in your living area
whether
it is hard or soft and whether
items are lightly
or heavily soiled.
• Water softness or hardness
is measured
in grains content per gallon.
You can find
out grains level by calling your
local Environmental
Protection
Agency
(EPA) in
your county.
• If you find that "grains"
level is higher
in the water then the water will be harder
in your living area so you will need more detergent
to clean. If "grains"
level is
lower then the water will be softer in your living area so you will need less
detergent
to clean.
See the following
table to understand
the "water
hardness type" and "grains"
level.
Water
Hardness Type
Level of Grains
in the water
Hard
10+
Medium
4-9
Soft
0-3
Note:
If "grains"
level is over 12 then water is very hard. You may need water
softener to improve
the water quality
and the performance
of
your dishwashing.
Note:
The quality
of detergent
will make the big difference
of cleaning
your dishes.
If you are using detergent
that is damp,
clumsy or too old then this type of
detergent
will not be as effective to clean because
of active ingredients
are
phased off and the detergent
will not work properly.
Note:
Use only manufacturer's
recommended
"Automatic
Dishwasher
Detergent"
only for your dishwasher.
Other types of detergents
that are not for
dishwasher
use may cause oversudsing
and foaming.
Do not use detergents
that are dried,
caked or moist. These types of detergents
will not dissolve
properly
and clean effectively.
