How much detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water. If too little is used, dishes won’t m/ be clean. However, if too much is used in soft water, glassware will begin to etch.

Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water depart-

ment, water softener company or county extension agent.

l

.

‘0

HARD - Fill 1 or both sections to top line if water is 8 or more grains Of hardness.

MEDIUM - Fill 1 or both sections to middle line if water iS 5 to 7 grains Of hardness.

SOFT- Fill one or both sections to bottom line if water is 0 to 4 grains Of hardness.

Rinse aid dispenser

A rinse aid helps keep water from forming droplets and dry- ing as spots. Keep the dispenser filled with a rinse aid such as

Jet-Dry.” A small amount is released automatlcally during the

final rinse of each cycle. Check the dispenser periodically to see if it needs refilling.

Keep the dispenser fill cap tightly closed.
