Operation

Hardness of Water

Water has a different “hardness,” or mineral content, in

different locations. The hardness is measured in grains per

gallon (gpg). Find out your water’s hardness by asking your

local water department, county extension agent, or water

softening company. Ask how many “grains” of hardness are in

your water.

The harder the water is, the more detergent you need. For the

detergent amounts recommended for use in your location with

your water, follow the guidelines in the chart. With hard water,

you need more detergent to get dishes clean. With soft water,

you need less.

Too much detergent with soft water can cause “etching,” a

permanent cloudiness of glassware. If you have hard water, the

dishes as well as the dishwasher itself may accumulate a gray

deposit after some time. This deposit can be remedied by

using a mild citric acid solution instead of detergent in the

heavy wash program.

How Much Detergent to Use?

The amount of detergent you use depends on the hardness of

the water and on the cycle you select. Generally, only one

tablespoon (per cup) of detergent is needed for a normal load.

NOTE: Line level on detergent dispenser represents 2

tablespoons.

NOTE: In areas with hard water above 12 grains, a water

softener is recommended.

Product Care

Maintenance

Your new dishwasher is designed to give you years of

dependable service. In order to maintain a high level of

performance, you need to make sure your dishwasher is

properly cared for and cleaned. Here are a few things you can

do to make sure your dishwasher performs at its highest level.

Filters

The filters are important, because they continuously filter wash

water. Under normal operation, the filters are self cleaning and

require no maintenance. If there is a heavy amount of food soil,

sediment or hard water conditions, it may be necessary to clean

the filters after each use. To clean, remove the filters as shown

in the above illustration and soak overnight in a 50/50 solution

of water and vinegar. Citric cleaner and water are also

acceptable. Filters should appear bright when clean.

The Coarse Strainer

Large food particles that can’t pass through the drainage pump

are collected in the coarse strainer. Lift out and empty the

coarse strainer when necessary. Don’t forget to put it back

again. It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the

coarse strainer area.
