How much detergent to use
•
l_e amount of detergent to ues depands on the heftiness of
your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
•
Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out
your water's hardness by asking your local water department,
water softener company, or county extension agent.
•
You can order a water hardness test strip. In the
U.S.A., call the Customer Interaction Canter at
1-800-422-1230
and ask for Part Number 4171690.
•
Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different
amounts of phosphorous for softening water. If you have hard
water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of
less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use
a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.
