The amount of detergent to use depends on:
How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads
require more detergent.
The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon)
[typical water softener water and some city water]
Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon)
[well water and some city water]
■
Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown, if needed.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown
are for standard powdered
detergent. Follow instructions
on the package when using
other dishwasher detergent.
Add Rinse Aid
■
Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
■
Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can
dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by
allowing water to drain off of the dishes after the final
rinse.
■
Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the
dish racks and interior of your dishwasher.
■
Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator
drops to “Add” level.
■
To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser
cap to “Open” and lift off. Pour rinse
aid into the opening until the indicator
level is at “Full.” Replace the
dispenser cap and turn to “Lock.”
Make sure cap is fully locked.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the
factory setting of 2 will give good
results. If you have hard water or notice
rings or spots, try a higher setting. Turn
the arrow adjuster inside the dispenser
by either using your fingers or inserting
a flat-blade screwdriver into the center
of the arrow and turning.
Select a Cycle (cycles vary by model)
Press the Select Cycle button until the light below the desired cycle
is on.
NOTE: Heavier cycles and options affect cycle length. Some
cycles and options will take up to 3
¹⁄₂
