ADDING DETERGENT

Use a detergent designed specifically ibr use in an auto-

matic dishwasher. Be sure it is flesh and stored in a cod, d U place (not under the sink),

Never use laundry detergent or hand dish-

washing detergent in your dishwasher as it

will cause severe oversudsing and possible leaks.

Recommended Amount

The amount of detergent to nse depends on tile water

hardness (measured in grains per gallon gpg) and the amount of soil on the dishes. Too little detergent results in poor cleaning, hard water fihning and spot- ting and poor drying. Too much detergent causes per- manent etching￿cloudiness.

As a rule, use 1 teaspoon of detergent per grain of water hardness. Use a minimum of.3 teaspoons in soft watch Place tim reeonunended amount of detergent in both cups for Norm'a] and longer cycles. Do not divide the

recommended amount between the cups.

The following chart includes specific recommenda- tions. (Refer to the package directions on concentrated detergents.)

*Your local water utility or state university extension service

ca_ tell you the de#,reeaf water hardness in your area.

For water hardness of 13 14 gpg add more detergent (1

teaspoon for each gpg) to the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. Unlatch the door. Open it

slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub. The dishwasher will continue through the cycle.

If water hardness is 15 gpg or harder, it is virtually impossible to get good results with any dishwasher. The only- solution is a mechanical water softener to improve water quality and detergent effectiveness.
