Twelve grains and higher is extremely hard water and detergent alone may not be enough. You may need to use a water soft- ener to maximize the performance of your dishwasher. Also, in areas with hard water (9+) you may need to wash at lower temper- atures 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% phos- phorous content, you may need to use more detergent or use a detergent with more than 8.7% phosphorous content.

NOTE:

We recommend that you do not add pre- wash detergent for the Quick wash pro- grams.

NOTE:

If you use a dishwashing detergent with a rinse aid additive, you should not fill the rinse aid dispenser. This could cause a film on your dishes.

Dishwasher tablets

Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the dispenser cover. There is a risk that the dishwasher detergent will not break down properly to give the correct dosage if the cover is tight and cannot be opened cor- rectly.
