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 (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 un-
til you are ready to wash.
When using Delay Wash,
make sure the detergent
dispensers are clean
and dry before adding

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.
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.
l
MEDIUM - Fill 1 or both sections to mid-
die line if water hardness is 5 to 7 grains
per gallon, or 85 to 119 parts per million.
l
SOFT
.-
Fill 1 or both sections to bottom
line If water hardness is 0 to 4 grains per
gallon, or 0 to 68 parts per million.
Rinse aid
dispenser
A rinse aid helps keep water from forming droplets and drying
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.The
Fill Indicator Cap shows when it’s time to fill the rinse aid dis-
penser. When the fill level is low, the center of the cap will appear
to be clear.
Make sure dishwasher door is fully open when filling. Do not fill
past the smallest opening in the lower part of the dispenser. If you
overfill, excess rinse aid can come out. This will not harm the
dishwasher, but could cause over-sudsing. Keep the dispenser fill
cap tightly closed.
