The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See the “Cycle Selection Charts.”)

How much detergent to use
■The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.
■Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.
■Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.
