Not Water
To get dishes clean and dry you need hot
water. To help you get water of the proper
temperature,
your dishwasher
automatically
heats the water in the wash
cycle. Higher water temperature
is needed
to dissolve grease and activate powder
detergents.
For good washing and drying,
the entering water must be at least 120°F.
To prevent dish damage, inlet water
should not exceed 150°E
Check your water temperature
with a
candy or meat thermometer..
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the
dishwasher.
Put the thermometer
in a
glass and let the water run continuously
into the glass until the temperature
stops
rising.
Do not operate the dishwasher
during or
right after other heavy use of hot water,
such as for laundry or bathing°
Wa_er
Pressure
Water supply pressure must be between
t5 and 120 pounds per square inch_ To
determine
if you have enough pressure,
put a 1 quart container under a fully
opened hot water faucet nearest the
dishwasher,, if the container fills in less
than 9 seconds, water pressure is within
an acceptable
range° Be sure all other
faucets are turned off during this test°
Water
Conditions
In areas where water is very hard (12
grains or more), it may be necessary to
install a water softener to assure proper
performance
from your dishwasher.
If you
do not know the hardness of your water
supply, contact your local water
department
or bring a sample into your
Sears store for testing°
Detergents
Only use detergents
labeled for use in
automatic dishwashers.
NEVER use
laundry detergents,
liquid soaps or other
household cleaners in your dishwasher°
Some detergents
will be more effective
with your water conditions
than others.
Store detergent
in a cool, dry place,_
Rinse
Agents
Rinse agents make water flow off dishes
quicker than usual_ This lessens water
spotting and makes drying faster, too°
Rinse agents come in either liquid or solid
form. '/our dishwasher's
dispenser
uses
the liquid form,
