Usingthe detergent dispenser

What type of detergent to use

• For best results use powdered automatic

dishwasher detergent. Other detergents

are too mild and much too sudsy to work in

the dishwasher.

•Follow manufacturer's directions when

using concentrated dishwasher detergent.

•Do not add detergent until you are ready

to wash.

•Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry

place. Fresh automatic dishwasher

detergent is necessary for best washing

results.

NOTE: Different brands of dishwasher

detergent have different amounts of phospho-

rus for softening water. If water is hard and

phosphorus content is low (6.0% or less), you

may need to:

•Use more detergent.

•Use a brand with a higher phosphorus

content (8.7%).
