What kind of detergent to use

Use automatic dishwasher detergent only,

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

Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus for softening water. 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).

Do not add detergent until you are ready to wash. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent is necessary for best washing results.

Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

The detergent dispenser

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

l For cycles with one wash, put detergent in one section only.

-Use the open section if the cycle begins with a wash.

-Use the covered section if the cycle begins with a rinse.

l For cycles with two washes, put detergent in both sections.

lPush the cover down until it is latched.

Detergent in the open section falls into the dish- washer when the door is closed. The covered section opens automatically when the main wash starts.

NOTE: It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent. The cover will open fully when the door is opened.

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

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

l MEDIUM - Fill 1 or both sections to middle line If water hardness is 5 to 7 grains per gallon, or 85 lo 119 pans per million.

lSOFT - Fill 1 or both sections to bottom line if water hardness is 0 to 4 grains per gallon, or 0 to 68 parts per million.
