Different brands of dishwasher
detergent have different amounts of
phosphorus for softenmg 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)
Detergent m the open section falls mto
the dishwasher when the door is closed.
The covered section opens automatically
when the main wash starts.
NOTE: It is normal for cover to open
partially when dispensing detergent
The cover will open fully when the door
IS opened.
How much detergent to use

to wash.
Fresh automatic dishwasher

washing results.

The amount of detergent to use depends
on the hardness of your water If too little
IS used, dishes will not be clean.
However, if too much is used in soft
water, glassware will begin to etch.

Fmd out your water’s hardness by asking
your local water department, water
softener company or county extension
agent.
Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled
with a liquid rinse agent. A
rinse agent
greatly improves the drying of dishes
by helping water flow off of them
during the last rinse.
A rmse agent also
keeps water from forming droplets and
drying as spots. A small amount of rinse
agent is automatically released into the
rinse water durmg the final rinse of each
cycle.

The detergent dispenser has one section
with a cover and one without.
HARD-Fill 1 or both sections to top
lme If water hardness is 8 or more
grams per gallon or 136 or more
parts per million
MEDIUM-Fill 1 or both sections to
middle line if water hardness is 5 to
7 grams per gallon, or 85 to 119
parts per million.
SOFT-Fill 1 or both sections to
bottom lme if water hardness is 0 to
4 grams per gallon, or 0 to 68 parts
per million.
For best drying results, check the
dispenser periodically to see if it 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 rmse
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 overfill it.
Make sure the dishwasher door is fully
open when filling the dispenser. Do not
fill past the smallest opening in the
lower part of the dispenser. If you
overfill, excess rinse agent can come out.
This will not harm the dishwasher, but
could cause over-sudsing. Clean up any
spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
Replace the Fill Indicator Cap and keep
it tightly closed.
NOTE: Because your dishwasher is
designed to use a liquid rmse agent, you
do not need to use a solid or bar-type
rinse agent.
