Hot Water
For best results,
file incoming
water temperature
should
be
120%140 ° E Check the water temperature
by turning
on file
hot water
faucet nearest
the dishwasher
and letting
it mn
into a glass in the sink. Place a candy
thermometer
in the
glass and check the temperature
once it has stopped
rising. If
it is below 120 ° F have a qualified
person
raise the water
heater setting.
If the outside
temperature
is unusually
low, or if your water
travels
a long distance
from the water
heater
to the dish-
washer,
you may want to turn on the hot water faucet at the
sink and allow it to run until the water is hot.
This assures
that the initial fill of water is hot.
Detergent
Use a detergent
designed
specifically
for use in aYt automatic
dishwasher.
Other t_qges (laundry, hand soap, etc,) will cause
oversudsing.
Be sure to use fresh detergent
and store it in a
cool, dry place (not under
the sink).
The amount
of detergent
to use depends
on the water hard-
ness measured
in grains per gallon* (gpg) and the amount
of
soil on the dishes.
Generally
detergent
amounts
should
be
increased
for harder water and heavier
soil. Refer to the for
lowing chart for detergent
usage recommendations.
Do not use detergent
with Rinse
Only.
Leave the detergent
lid open when running
Rinse Only.
If the water
hardness
is 13 gpg or harder,
it is difficult
to
achieve good results with any dishwasher.
The solution
is a
mechanical
water
softener
to improve
water quality,
deter-
gent effectiveness,
and to protect
the dishwasher
parts from
the damage
that hard water deposits
may cause.
Rinse
Aid
A liquid
rinse aid dispenser
(select models)
auton_atically
releases
a measured
amount
of rinse aid into the final rinse
To fill the dispenser,
turn the cap counterclockwise
to open.
Pour the rinse aid into the reservoir.
Replace the cap and be
sure it is securely
in place
before closing
the dishwasher
door. Check the dispenser
monthly
and refill as needed.
Rinse aid is available
in solid form for models without
a liq-
uid dispenser.
When using a solid rinse aid, fasten it to the
back right corner of the lower rack. Purchase
morn rinse aid
when the material
dissolves
and the container
is empty.
