required depends on the hardness of the water in your
area. Harder water requires more detergent. Water "
hardness is measured in grains per gallon (gpg). Do
not use too little detergent for your water hardness.
Doing so can cause poorly cleaned dishes, filming or
spotting. If you use too much detergent, you can cause
a permanent film called etching. To find out the water
hardness in your area, contact your water company.
After loading both compartments, close the dispenser
lid.
Detergent alone may not be enough for water hard-
ness above 12. For maximum cleanness you may need
to use a water softener. Or you may add additional
detergent about 20 minutes after starting your dish-
washer. As a rule, add 1 teaspoon for each grain above
12, To add additional detergent:
1. Open the door. The dishwasher will stop operating.
2. Wait a moment for the steam to clear.
3. Without touching any of the hot surfaces or racks,
pour additional dish washing detergent into the
bottom of the dish washing compartment.
4. Close the door. Push on the door handle to make
sure that the door is completely shut. After a short
pause, operation will resume.
