Proper Use of Detergent:
.
• The amount of detergent to use depends on the type of water in your living area whether it is hard
or soft and whether items are lightly or heavily soiled.
.
• Water softness or hardness is measured in grains content per gallon. You can find out grains level
by calling your local Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in your county.
.
• If you find that "grains" level is higher in the water then the water will be harder in your living area
so you will need more detergent to clean. If "grains" level is lower then the water will be softer in your living
area so you will need less detergent to clean.
See the following table to understand the "water hardness type" and "grains" level.
Note:
If "grains" level is over 12 then water is very hard. You may need water softener to improve the
water quality and the performance of your dishwashing.
Note:
The quality of detergent will make the big difference of cleaning your dishes. If you are using
detergent that is damp, clumsy or too old then this type of detergent will not be as effective to clean
because of active ingredients are phased off and the detergent will not work properly.
Note:
Use only manufacturer’s recommended "Automatic Dishwasher Detergent" only for your dishwasher.
Other types of detergents that are not for dishwasher use may cause oversudsing and foaming. Do not use
detergents that are dried, caked or moist. These types of detergents will not dissolve properly and clean
effectively.
Check List for Wash Process:
1.
1. Make sure all items are loaded in the racks properly.
2.
2. Pour in detergent into open compartment that is located on the inside of the door.
3.
3. Close the door and latch safely.
4.
4. Select the desired wash cycle.
5.
5. Press "ON" button to start the wash process.
6.
6. Select "Vented Dry" button if you want to dry after the wash cycle is finished.
Note:
To add or remove items after cycle starts, unlock the door latch and wait a few seconds until wash
action has stopped. Open the door and let hot steam inside the dishwasher out. After the hot
steam is completely released, you can now add or change items. Once you make your changes,
close the door gently and lock the door latch to resume the cycle.
Selecting Wash & Dry Cycle:
• For your convenience, your dishwasher has two wash cycles, normal and heavy. You also have two
options, "vented dry On/Off" and "rinse & hold". You can select your desired wash cycle depending
upon the type of dishware and whether they are heavily or lightly soiled.
