DISHWASHER DISPENSER & DETERGENTS

NOTE

ë

For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough.  A water softener is recommended to improve 
water quality and dishwashing performance.  Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main 
wash portion of the cycle.  As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12.  Unlatch the door, open 
slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub.  Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will 
continue through the cycle.
