Dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
Take care to keep it out of reach of children.
IFTHE WATERISN'T TOOHARD,YOUMAYALSOPREVENT THEFORMATIONOFDEPOSITS BYADDING
DETERGENT.
The amount ofdetergent needed can vary due to differences in waterhardness.To determine the water hardness in
your area,contact yourlocal waterutility or areawatersoftening company. The harder thewater,the more detergent
you may need. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the
correct amount.
To remove hard water spots, try thefollowing:
Rundishes througha normal wash program.
Remove allmetal dishware,such as cutlery,pans, etc.,
from the dishwasher.
Do notadd detergent.
Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face
up on the lower rackof the dishwasher.
Runthedishesthroughanormalwash program.
If this doesn't work, try the same process with 1 / 4 cup of
citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.
Useonly detergent specificallymade for use in dishwashers.
Keep yourdetergent fresh anddry.Don'tput powderdetergent
into thedispenser untilYou're readyto washdishes.
Therinse aidis released during the final rinse to prevent
water from forming droplets on your dishes thatcan leave
spots and streaks. It also improvesdrying by allowing
water to"sheet"off thedishes.
Your dishwashers aredesigned to use liquid rinse aids.
The rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to
the detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the
cap and pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level
indicator turns completely black. The dispenser holds
about 100ml of liquid rinse aid.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could
cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the
dishwasher door.
If you have soft water, you may not need rinse aid for it may
