Adding detergent, Rinse aid dispenser \a

Adding detergent

The kind and amount of dishwasher detergent you use is an important part of getting your dishes clean. Read this section carefully.

Use automatic dish- washer detergent only.

Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy to work in the dishwasher.

Different brands of

dishwasher detergent have different amounts

of phosphorus. Phos- phorus softens water and

helps prevent water spots on dishes.

If water is hard and

phosphorus content is low (6.0% or less], you may need to use more detergent or use a brand with a higher phosphorus content (8.7% or higher).

1The detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section with a cover and one without.

l Put detergent in both sections for cycles with two washes.

l Put detergent in the covered section only for cycles with one wash.

l Push the cover down until it is latched.

Detergent in the open section falls into the dish- washer when the door is closed. The covered sec-

1tion opens automatically when the main wash starts.

dispensers are clean and dry before adding

the detergent. Fresh automatic dishwasher

tergent is necessary for best washing Store detergent tightly in a cool dry place.

How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water. If too little is used, dishes won’t be clean. However, if too much is used in soft water, glassware will be- gin to etch.

Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local waterdepartment, water softener company or county extension agent.

HARD - Fill 1or both sections to top line if water hardness is 8 or more grains per gallon, or 136 or more parts per million.

MEDIUM - Fill 1 or both sections to mid- dle line if water hardness is 5 to 7 grains per gallon, or 85 toll9 parts per million.

SOFT - Fill 1 or both sections to bottom line if water hardness is 0 to4 grains per gallon, or 0 to 68 parts per million.

Rinse aid dispenser \a

A rinse aid helps keep water from forming droplets and drying as spots. Keep the dispenser filled with a rinse aid such as Jet-

\EASE rinse of each cycle.

Check the dispenser periodically to see if it needs refilling. An “E”will be visible inside dispenser when it is empty Make sure dishwasher door is fully open when refilling. Do not fill past the smallest opening in the lower part of the dispenser. If you overfill, excess rinse aid can come out. This will not harm the dishwasher.

Keep the dispenser fill cap tightly closed.
