How to choose and use  
the right detergent.  
First, use only powder or liquid  
detergents specifically made for  
use in dishwashers. Other types  
will cause  
with  
water.  
To get dishes clean and dry you  
need hot water. To help you get  
water of the proper temperature,  
your dishwasher automatically  
heats the water in the wash cycle.  
For good washing and drying, the  
entering water must beat least  
120°F. To prevent dish damage,  
inlet water should not exceed  
To improve washability if the water  
is less than 120°F and you cannot  
adjust your water heater: Select a  
longer cycle and fill both detergent  
cups at least half-full with detergent.  
Second, check the phosphate  
content. Phosphate  
prevent  
hard-water materials from forming  
spots or film on your dishes. If your  
water is hard (7 grains or more),  
your detergent has to work harder.  
Detergents with a higher phosphate  
level will probably work better. If  
the phosphate content is low

detergent with hard water.  
Let the dishwasher run through  
one fill and pump out cycle, then  
let the dishwasher fill with water  
the second time.  
For best  
performance,  
use of a rinse agent such as JET-DRY  
brand is recommended.  
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 is  
in your water.  
When you hear the water stop  
filling, unlatch the door and slowly  
open it.  
Rinse agents come in either  
or solid form. Your dishwasher  
uses the solid form.  
Measure the temperature of the  
water in the bottom of the tub this  
way:  
If you can’t find any rinse agent,  
write:  
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.
