water, you need less demrgent.
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water
deparunent and asking how hard >mr water is. Twelve or more grains
is exlremely hard wamr. A wamr softener is recommended.
Without it,
lime can build up in the water valve, which could slick while ()pen and
cause flooding. Too nmch detergent x_fl_ soft water can caum a
permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.
You'll find Ix_) detergent dispensers on the
inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles
require detergent in the main cup. Wash cycles 0 pen
