Adding detergent

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

Use automatic dish- 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. Phos- phorus softens water and

helps prevent water spots on dishes.

If water is hard and

phosphorus content is low (6.0% or less), you may need to use more detergent or use a brand with a higher phosphorus content (8.7% or higher).

Do not add detergent

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.

The detergent dispenser

l Put detergent in both sections for cycles with two washes.

l Put detergent in the covered section Only for cycles with one wash.

l Push the cover down until it is latched.

The cover opens auto- matically when the main wash starts. Detergent in the open section falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed.

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.

ment, water softener company or county extension agent.
