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].

til you are ready to wash.

be clean. However, if too much is
used in soft water, glassware will
begin to etch.

asking your local water depart-
ment, water softener company or
county extension agent.
