ProperUseof Detergent
Use only deIergent specifically made tot use in dishwashers, Cascade '_
Aulomafic Dishwashing Detergent has been approved fin use in all (;E
dishwashers. Keep your detergent flesh and dry. Don'1 put powder
detergent into the dispenser until you're ready to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is
hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft
water, you need less detergent,
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water
department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains
is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Wid_out
it, lime can build up in file water valve, which could stick while open
and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a
pemmnent ckmdiness ofglasswme, c_led etching.
You'll find llvo detergent dispensers on the
inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles
require detergent in the main cup. Wash cycles
with tsvowashes will also use the open cup. _q_en

simply pla(e one tab in the main cup and close.
