Good

dishwashing

starts

with HOT water.

get

dishes clean and

dry, you

need hot water. To help you get

water of the proper temperature,

your dishwasher automatically

heats the water in the wash cycle.

For good washing and drying, the

entering water must be at least

120°F.

To prevent

dish damage,

inlet water should not exceed

1500F.

How to test water temperature:

Higher water temperature is

needed to dissolve grease and

activate powder detergents. Check

your water temperature with a

candy or meat thermometer. Turn

on the hot water

faucet

nearest the

dishwasher. Put the thermometer in

glass

and let the water run

continuously into the

glass

until

the temperature stops rising.

the

water temperature is below

120°F

adjust your water heater.

Helpful

hints:

outside

temperatures are unusually

low,

if your water travels a long distance

from water heater to dishwasher,

you may need to set your water

heater’s thermostat up. If you have

not used hot water for some time,

the water in the pipes will be cold.

Turn on the hot water faucet at the

sink and allow it to run until the

water is hot. Then start the

dishwasher. If you’ve recently done

laundry or run hot water for

showers, give your water heater

time to recover before operating the

dishwasher.

To improve washability if the

water is less than

120°F

and you

cannot adjust your water heater:

Select a longer cycle and fill both

detergent cups at least half-full

with detergent.

How to use a rinse agent...

A rinse agent makes water

flow

off

dishes quicker than usual. This

lessens water spotting and makes

drying faster, too.

For best

dishwashing

performance,

use of a rinse agent such as JET-

DRY brand is recommended.

Rinse agents come in either liquid

solid

form. Your dishwasher

uses the liquid form.

How to fill the rinse agent

dispenser.

Unscrew the cap. Add

the liquid rinse agent until it just

reaches the bottom of the

inside

the dispenser opening. Replace the

cap. The dispenser automatically

releases the rinse agent into the

final rinse

water.

If you accidentally

spill:

Wipe up

the rinse agent with a damp cloth.

Don’t leave the spill in the

dishwasher. It can keep your

detergent from working.

If you can’t find any rinse agent,

write:

BENCKISER CONSUMER

PRODUCTS, INC.

How to choose and use the

right detergent.

First, use only powder or liquid

detergent specifically made for

use in dishwashers. Other types

will cause

oversudsing.

Second, check the phosphate

content.

Phosphate helps prevent

hard-water materials from forming

spots or film on your dishes. If

your water is hard (7 grains or

more), your detergent has to work

harder. Detergents with a higher

phosphate

level

will probably work

better. If the phosphate content is

low

(8.7% or less), you’ll have to

use extra detergent with hard water.

Your water department can

tell

you how hard your water is. So

can your county extension agent.

Or your area’s water softener

company. Just call and ask them

how many “grains” of hardness is

in your water.

How much detergent should you

use?

That depends. 1s your water

“hard” or “soft’”? With hard water,

you need extra detergent to get

dishes clean. With soft water, you

need less detergent.

Too much detergent with soft water

not only wastes money, it can be

harmful. It can cause a permanent

cloudiness of glassware, called

“etching.” An outside layer of

glass is etched away! But why take

a chance when it’s

etisy

to find out

the hardness of your water.

Keep your detergent fresh and

dry.

Under the sink isn’t a good

place to store detergent. Too much

moisture. Don’t put powder

detergent into the dispenser until

you’re ready to wash dishes, either.

(It won’t be fresh OR dry.)

If your powder detergent gets old

or lumpy, throw it away.

Old

detergent often won’t dissolve. If

you use a liquid dishwasher

detergent, these precautions are not

necessary because liquid detergents

don’t “lump” as they age or come

in contact with water.
