I.Cover

2, Main wash section 3. Cover latch

4, Pre-wash section

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

•	Use automatic	dishwashing	detergent only. Other detergents
	can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
	dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
•	Add detergent	just before	starting a cycle.

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'tbe 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'shardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extensLon agent.

•Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorous 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%.
