Hot Water Rinse Agents Detergents Dish Preparation

Use only powder or liquid detergent specifically

made

for use in dishwashers. Other types will cause

oversudsing.

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.

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.

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 because there is 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 moisture.

How to Choose and Use the Right Detergent

How to Prepare the Dishes for Washing

If this is your first dishwasher, or if you’re replacing

a much older model, you may wonder how much

preparation your dishes need. Actually very little.

Scrape off bones, seeds, skins, toothpicks and other

hard solids. Remove excessive quantities of oil or grease.

NOTE: You may also want to consider removing

foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon

juice and other foods that can cause discoloration of

stainless steel if allowed to remain on dishes for a long

period of time.

The POTS & PANS or HEAVY WASH cycle can wash

heavily soiled dishes and remove dried-on and baked-

on soils from pots, pans and casseroles. Items with

burned-on soils need extra preparation.

Detergent Usage Guide (powder or liquid)

+ +

You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the

inside door of your dishwasher. Two,

because some cycles use two washes.

See ‘‘Detergent Usage Guide’’ below.

(Be sure the CYCLE INDICATOR

DIAL is at OFF position before

adding detergent. Otherwise,

the detergent

cup will not

close and latch properly.)

Close the main cup.

NOTE: To open detergent cup after it has been

closed, simply turn the detergent cup handle

counter-clockwise until it releases. A

snapping sound may be heard. This is

normal when the detergent cup opens.
