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
(6.7% 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.

with two washes (see pages 3 and 4).
l
Put detergent only in the covered section
for cycles with one wash (see page 4).
9 Push the cover down until it is latched.
Detergent in the open section falls into the
dishwasher when the dcor is closed. The
covered section opens automatically when
the main wash starts.
NOTE: It is normal for cover to open part-
ially when dispensing detergent. The cover
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. H 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.
l
HARD-Fill 1 or both sections to top line if
water hardness is 8 or more grains per
gallon, or 136 or more parts per million.
. MEDIUM-Fill 1 or both sections to mid-
dle line if water hardness is 5 to 7 grains
per gallon, or 85 to 119 pans per million.
l
SCFT+.ill, 1, or both sactions to bottom
fine if water hardness’is 0 to.49rains pei
gallon, or 0 to 68 parts per million.
Mix items in each section of the basket with
some pointing up and some down. Small
items-baby bottle caps, jar lids, etc.-can be
put in any section.
j gt$ei;$g;i;ke
Make sure sharp items (knives, forks,
skewers, etc.) are put in point down.
Using Rinse Agent
Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a
liquid rinse agent. A rinse agent greatly
Improves the drying of dlshes by helping
water flow off of them durlng the fast
rinse. A rinse agent also keeps water from
forming droplets and drying as spots. A
small amount of rinse agent is automatically
released into the rinse water during the final
rinse of each cycle.
For best drylng results, check the
dispenser perlodically to see If ft needs
refilling. The center of the Fill Indicator Cap
will be clear when dispenser needs refilling.
An “E” will also be visible inside the
dispenser when the cap is removed and the
dispenser is empty.
The dispenser will hold 6 ounces of rinse
agent. Under normal conditions, this will last
about 3 months. You do not have to wait
until the dispenser is empty to refill it. but do
not 0vedil.f it.
Make sure the dishwasher door is fully
open when filling the dispenser. Do not fill
past the smallest opening in the lower part
