The amount of detergent to use depends on:

How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads require more detergent.

The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon) [typical water softener water and some city water]

Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon) [well water and some city water]

Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the level shown, if needed.

Add Rinse Aid

Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid.

Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing

water to drain off of the dishes after the

@

 

final rinse.

 

Rinse aid helps to reduce excess

 

moisture on the dish racks and interior of

 

your dishwasher.

 

Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator

drops to "Add" level or, when rinse aid indicator looks light. The light visual indicator means to add rinse aid, and the dark visual indicator means that there is sufficient rinse aid in the dishwasher.
