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

middle line if water is 5 to 7 grains of
hardness.
l
SOFT- Fill 1 or both sections to
bottom line if water is 0 to 4 grains of

ing as spots, Keep the dispenser filled with a rinse aid such as
Jet-Dry.” A small amount is released automatically during the
final rinse of each cycle. Check the dispenser periodically to
see if it needs refilling.

appear to be clear.
