Adding Detergent
What type of detergent to use
Use automatic dishwasher 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 for
softening water. 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 main wash starts.

will open fully when the door is opened.
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 department, water softener
company or county extension agent.
