The amount ofdetergent needed can vary due to differences in waterhardness. To determine the waterhardness in
your area,contact yourlocal waterutility or areawatersoftening company. The harder the water, the moredetergent
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 the following:
Run dishes through a normal wash program.
Removeallmetal dishware, such ascutlery, pans, etc.,
from the dishwasher.
Do notadd detergent.
Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl face
up on the lowerrackof the dishwasher.

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.
