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 (8.7% 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 a cover and one without.

cycles with two washes. (See pages
4 and 5.)
. Put detergent only in the covered
section for cycles with one wash.
(See pages 4 and 5.)
n
Push the cover down until it is
latched.
Detergent in the open section falls into
the dishwasher when the door is closed.

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
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 department,
water softener company or county
extension agent.
l
HARD-Fill 1 or both sections to top
line if water hardness is 6 or more
grains per gallon, or 136 or more
parts per million.
n MEDIUM-Fill 1 or both sections to
middle line if water hardness is 5 to
7
grains per gallon, or 85 to 119
parts per million.
. 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.
