Adding detergent

The kind and amount of dishwasher detergent you use is an important part of getting your dishes clean. Read this section carefully.

Use automatic dlsh- washer detergent only.

Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy to work in the dishwasher.

Different brands of

dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus. Phospho- rus softens water and

helps prevent water spots on dishes.

If water is hard and

phosphorus content is low (8.7% or less), you may need to use more

detergent or use a

brand with a higher

phosphorus content (12% or higher).

Do not add detergeni until you are ready to wash. Fresh automatic

dishwasher detergent

is necessary for best

washing results. Store

detergent tightly closed in a cool dry place.

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

l MEDIUM - Fill 1 or both sections to middle line if water is 5 to 7 grains of hardness.

l SOFT - Fill 1 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 automatically during the

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