Detergents

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade®, Cascade Complete® and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for use in all Monogram Dishwashers. Keep your powdered detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.

All wash cycles except RINSE ONLY require detergent in the main and pre-wash cup. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, fill the main wash section and pre-wash section completely. With soft water, fill both sections halfway. When using automatic dishwashing detergents tabs, simply place one tab in the main wash section and close.

Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains is extremely 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.

To fill the dispenser, if the dispenser is closed, open the cover by depressing the cover latch. Fill the Main Wash Section with detergent. Fill the Pre-wash section if needed. Then close the dispenser cover.

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

Do not use hand dish detergent.

NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.

Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.

While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.
