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 dlsh- washer detergent only.

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

dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus. Phospho- rus softens water and

helps prevent water spots on dishes.

If water is hard and

phosphorus content is low (8.7% or less), you may need to use more

detergent or use a

brand with a higher

phosphorus content (12% or higher).

Do not add detergent un- til you are ready to wash. When using Delay Wash, make sure the detergent

dispensers are clean and dry before adding

the detergent. Fresh automatic

tergent is necessary for best Store detergent tightly in a cool

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 begin to etch.

Find out your waters hardness by asking your local water depart-

ment, water softener company or county extension agent.
