Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use
in dishwashers. Cascade®Automatic
Dishwashing Detergent has been approved.
Keepyour detergent fresh and dry. Don't put
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. Without it, lime can build up in
the water valve, which could stick while open
and cause flooding. Too much detergent with
soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness
of glassware, coiled etching.
Usethe information in the table below as a
guideline to determine the amount of automatic
dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser.
When using automatic dishwasher detergent
tablets, simply place one tablet in the dispenser
and close the cover.
