Electrolux Built-In Dishwasher 18

18 Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

Refer to the following table for recommended detergent usage.

As shown in the last column of this table, a water softener is recommended to

improve water quality and dishwashing performance when using very hard water.

Other suggestions:

• Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the

cycle.

• As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open

slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub.

• Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.
