Hot 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. Higher water temperature is
needed to dissolve grease and activate
powder detergent& For good washing
and drying, the entering water must be
at least 120°F. To prevent dish damage,
inlet water should not exceed 150°E
Check your water temperature with a
candy or meat thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest
the dishwasher. Put the thermometer in
a glass and let the water run continuously
into the glass until the temperature
stops rising_
Do not operate the dishwasher during
or right after other heavy use of hot water,
such as for laundry or bathing..
Water Pressure
Water supply pressure must be between
!5 and 120 pounds per square inch. To
determine if you have enough pressure,
put a 1 quart container under a fully
opened hot water faucet nearest the
dishwasher. If the container fills in less
than 9 seconds, water pressure is within
an acceptable range. Be sure all other
faucets are turned off during this test.
Water Conditions
In areas where water is very hard
(12 grains or more), it may be necessary
to install a water softener to assure
proper performance from your dishwasher..
If you do not know the hardness of your
water supply, contact your local water
department or bring a sample into your
Sears store for testing,
Detergents
Only use detergents labeled for use
in automatic dishwashers. NEVER use
laundry detergents, liquid soaps or other
household cleaners in your dishwasher.
Some detergents will be more effective
with your water conditions than others.
Store detergent in a cool, dry place.
Rinse Agents
Rinse agents make water flow off dishes
quicker than usual. This lessens water
spotting and makes drying faster, too°
Rinse agents come in either liquid or solid
form_ Your dishwasher's dispenser uses
the liquid form.
