[. . . ] When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and close. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly. How much Detergent to use The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film called etching. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.

Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle. 10 Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents (continued) Rinse Aid Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Water "sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots. A dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If spotting and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by rotating the dial to a higher number. The indicator will be dark when full and will show clear when it is time to refill. To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4 turn counterclockwise and lift out. The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140 washes, depending on setting. Dispenser Opening Indicator Factors Affecting Performance Water Pressure The hot water line to dishwasher must provide water pressure between 20 and 120 psi. Low water pressure may occur when laundry or showers are in operation. Wait until water use is reduced before starting dishwasher. Water Temperature Hot water is needed for best dishwashing and drying results. Water entering dishwasher should be at least 120°F (49°C) to give satisfactory results. To check water temperature entering dishwasher: · Turn on hot water faucet nearest dishwasher for several minutes to clear cool water from pipes.
