Contact your local water board for information on the hardness of
your water supply.
YOU MAY NOT ADD TOO MUCH DETERGENT TO PREVENT THE FORMA-
TION OF DEPOSITS BECAUSE YOUR DISHWASHERS HAVE SPECIALLY-
DESIGNED WATER SOFTENERS.
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle
following the instructions provided in the” Wash Cycle Table”. Your
dishwashers use less detergent and rinse aid than conventional
dishwashers. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed
for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need more
detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting dishwash-
er, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
Amount of Detergent to Use
IF THE WATER ISN’T TOO HARD, YOU MAY ALSO PREVENT THE FOR-
MATION OF DEPOSITS BY ADDING DETERGENT.
The amount of detergent needed can vary due
to differences in water hardness. To determine
the water hardness in your area, contact your
local water utility or area water softening com-
pany. The harder the water, the more deter-
gent you may need. Remember, you should ad-
just the amount of detergent you use by small
amounts until you find the correct amount.
Removing Hard Water Spots
To remove hard water spots, try the following:
• Run dishes through a normal wash program.
• Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc., from the
DETERGENT DISPENSER
