Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

The detergent dispenser has two covered cups. Fill one cup for small loads. Fill

both cups for larger loads. Close cover and add detergent to the indented section in

the cover for a prewash. Detergent in the prewash section of the cover falls into the

dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered cups

open automatically to release detergent.

• Use only automatic dishwashing detergent. Other

detergents will cause oversudsing.

• When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs,

place one tab in main wash cups and close.

• Add detergent just before starting cycle.

• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist

or caked detergent will not dissolve properly.

The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness

is measured in grains per gallon (gpg) . "Hard water" contains large amounts of

harsh minerals in granulated form, above 10-11 grains per gallon (gpg), which can

affect water quality.

Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or

spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film called

"etching." (See Etching, page 25.)

Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can

tell you the water hardness in your area.
