Detergents

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Cascade®, Cascade Complete® and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved for use in all Monogram Dishwashers. Keep your powdered detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.

All wash cycles except RINSE ONLY require detergent. The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft.

Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.

The detergent cup has indicator lines to help you. Use the right amount of detergent. As a guide:

For Soft water (water hardness less than 4 Grains Per Gallon [GPG]), fill cup to the first line.

For Medium soft water (4–8 GPG), fill cup to the second line. For Medium hard water (8–12 GPG), fill cup.

For Extremely hard water (more than 12 GPG), fill both cups.

If the amount of food soil is high, use a bit more detergent. If water temperature is greater than 140°F, use a bit less detergent.

NOTE: Using a detergent

 

that is not specifically designed

 

for dishwashers will cause the

 

dishwasher to fill with suds.

 

During operation, these suds will

 

spill out of the dishwasher vents,

covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.

Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.

While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.

Drying Fan

If the Heated Dry option is selected,

the drying fan will run

during the drying portion of the cycle

and up to 2 hours after the CLEAN light

turns on, depending on the selected wash cycle. If the Heated Dry option is not used, the CLEAN light will come on at the end of the final rinse and the fan will run up to 4 hours, depending on the selected wash cycle.

If the Rinse Only wash cycle is selected, the Heated Dry option is automatically turned off and the drying fan will run for 4 hours.

If the drying fan is running and the CLEAN light is on, the drying fan can be turned off by opening the door and pressing any key on the keypad.
