Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

FILLING THE DETERGENT

DISPENSER

The detergent dispenser has one main wash and

one pre wash cup. 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

cup and close.

• Add detergent just before starting cycle.

• Store detergent in a cool, dry location.

Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve

properly.

HOW MUCH DETERGENT TO

USE

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 19.)

Your local water company, water softener company

or county extension agent can tell you the water

hardness in your area.

The use of industrial grade detergent can

damage parts of the dishwasher leading to

damage to the unit and surrounding property.

Use only household grade automatic

dishwasher detergents.
