Good

dishwashing

starti

with HOT water

get

dishes clean and dry

you

need

hot

water.

To help you get water of

the proper temperature, your

dishwasher has a WATER

HEAT

feature that automatically senses the

temperature of the water in the wash

cycle and

heots

it,

necessary, to the

proper temperature. This water

heating feature may allow you to turn

down your household water heater

and save

energy

if you’re willing to

let

the dishwasher run a little longer

while it heats water to the proper

temperature. For good washing and

drying, the entering water must beat

least

1200F.

To prevent dish damage,

inlet water should not exceed

150°F.

How to test water temperature:

Check the water temperature inside

your dishwasher with a

candy

meat thermometer.

Let the dishwasher run through one

fill and pump out cycle, then let the

dishwasher

fill

with water the

second

time, approximately 5

minutes

after

stalling

the machine.

When you hear the water stop

filling, unlatch the door

and

slowly

open it.

Measure

the

temperature of the

water in the bottom

of the tub this

way:

Remove the silverware basket and

place a

candy

or meat thermometer

in the water towards the middle of

the tub.

the temperature is less

than

120°F,

you will not get good

washing results. Raise your water

heater temperature, wait

minutes

and test again. Higher water

temperature is needed to dissolve

grease

and

activate powder

detergents. If the water temperature

is less than

140°F,

use the WATER

HEAT Option (see page 4).

Helpful hints:

If outside

temperatures are unusually low, or 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.

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 or

solid form. Your dishwasher’s

dispenser 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 lip 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.

(“JET DRY”)

411

W. Putnam Ave.

Greenwich, CT

06830

Your dishwasher’s rinse agent

container holds

4Y~

ounces. This

should last about

months. Fill as

needed. Do not overfill.

How to choose and use

detergent

First, use only powder or liquid

detergents 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” there are

in your water.

How

much detergent should you

use?

That depends. Is 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! Of course, this takes

some time. But why take a chance

when it’s easy 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.

It won’t

wash well. 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.
