How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the water
hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per
gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor
cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too
much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent
film called etching. Your local water company, water
softener company or county extension agent can tell you
the water hardness in your area.
The use of industrial grade detergent can damage the
heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher leading to
damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only
household grade automatic dishwasher detergents.

The HEAT DRY option in combination with rinse aid will
enhance drying performance. The energy required
to use the HEAT DRY option costs pennies per cycle.
You may choose not to select the HEAT DRY option;
however you will have items in your dish load that
will not be completely dry at the end of the cycle.
