How to choose and use the right detergent. (continued)
Too much detergent with soft water not only wastes money, it can be harmful. It can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called “etching.” An outside layer of glass is etched away! Of course, this takes some time. But why take a chance when it’s easy to find out the hardness of your water?
Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Under the ~ink isn’t a go~d place to store detergent. Too much moisture. Don’t put powder detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes, either. (It won’t be fresh OR dry).
If your powder detergent gets old or lumpy, throw it away. Old detergent often won’t dissolve. If you use a liquid dishwasher detergent, these precautions are not necessary because liquid detergents don’t “lump” as they age or come in contact with water.
You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the inside door of your dishwasher. Two, because some cycles use two washes.
See “Detergent U.rage Guide” below.
Always close the main cup tightly. When it is firmly latched you will hear a clicking sound. It is not necessary to overtighten.
