Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been
approved for use in all GE dishwashers. Keep
gour detergent fresh and drg. Don't put powder
detergent into the dispenser until gou're readg
to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on
whether gout water is hard or soft. With hard
water, gou need extra detergent. With soft water,
gou need less detergent.
Protect gour dishes and dishwasher bg
contacting gour water department and asking
how hard gour water is. Twelve or more grains
is extremelg hard water. A water softener is
recommended. Without it, lime can build up
in the water valve, which could stick while open
and cause flooding. Too much detergent with
soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness
of glassware called etching.
Use the information in the table below as a
guideline to determine the amount of automatic
dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser.
