Use only a detergent designed for an automatic dishwasher. Never use soap, laundry detergent or handwashing detergent in your dishwasher, as they are too mild and will cause severe over-sudsing. The foam product prevents the dishwasher from working properly and may cause the dishwasher to leak.

WARNING: Dishwasher detergent is corrosive. Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, drink plenty of

water or milk. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice without delay. If dishwasher detergent gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

STORING THE DETERGENT

For best results, keep your detergent container tightly closed after each use, out of reach of children and stored in a cool, dry place. Storage under the sink is not advisable for powdered detergent, because this area is generally too warm and moist to keep detergent fresh.

HOW MUCH DETERGENT TO USE?

The amount of detergent you use depends on the hardness of the water and on the cycle you select. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal load.

need more detergent to get dishes clean. With soft water, you need less detergent.

Too much detergent with soft water can cause "etching", a permanent cloudiness of glassware. If you have "hard" water, the dishes as well as the dishwasher itself may accumulate a gray deposit after some time. This deposit can be remedied by using a mild citric acid solution instead of detergent in the heavy wash program.
