CAUTION
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.
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the
water hardness. Water hardness is measured in
grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can
result in poor cleaning and hard water fi lming
or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft
water can cause etching to some glassware which
is surface damage that appears like a fi lm but
cannot be wiped off. Your local water company,
water softener company or county extension
agent can tell you the water hardness in your
area.
