RECOMMENDED DETERGENT AMOUNTS

BASED ON WATER HARDNESS

WATER HARDNESS	DETERGENT AMOUNTS

Soft	Prewash	1 teaspoon
(0-3 grains per gallon)	Main wash	1 to 1-1/2 tablespoons

Medium	Prewash	1 teaspoon
(4-8 grains per gallon)	Main wash	1 to 2 tablespoons

Hard	Prewash	1 teaspoon
(9+ grains*)	Main wash	2 to 3 tablespoons

NOTE: We recommend that you do not add prewash detergent for the Quick or Light wash programs.

*12 grains and higher is extremely hard water and detergent alone may not be enough. You may need to use a water softener to maximize the performance of your dishwasher. Also, in areas with extremely hard water (9+) you may need to wash at lower temperatures to prevent hard water deposits from forming in tank and wash system.

In hard water areas, both the dishes and the machine can develop a white or gray film after a while. This can be removed by replacing the prewash detergent with two tablespoons of citric acid. If the water is very hard, use a rinse aid that contains citric acid.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorous for softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent with less than 8.7% phosphorous content, you may need to use more detergent or use a detergent with more than 8.7% phosphorous content.

NOTE: If you live in an area with hard water, after a time you may get hard water spots on your dishes. Refer to page 27 for information on how to remove these spots.
