more), your detergent has to work
harder. Detergents with a higher
phosphate level will probably work
better. If the phosphate content is

meat thermometer.

use of a rinse agent such as JET-
DRY brand is recommended.
Rinse agents come in either liquid
or solid form. Your dishwasher’s
dispenser uses the liquid form.
Let the dishwasher run through one
fill and pump out cycle, then let the
dishwasher fill with water the
second time.
Here’s how to fill the rinse agent
dispenser. Unscrew the cap. Add
the liquid rinse agent until it just
reaches the bottom of the lip inside
the dispenser opening. Replace the
cap. The dispenser automatically
releases the rinse agent into the
final rinse water.
How much detergent should you
use? That depends. Is your water
“hard” or “soft”? With hard water,
you need extra detergent to get
dishes clean. With soft water, you
need less detergent.
When you hear the water stop filling,
unlatch the door and slowly open it.
Measure the temperature of the water
in the bottom of the tub this way:
Too much detergent with soft water
not only wastes money, it can be
harmful. It can cause a permanent
cloudiness of glassware, called
“etching.” An outside layer of glass
is etched away! But why take a
chance when it’s easy to find out
the hardness of your water.
If you accidentally spill: Wipe
up the rinse agent with a damp
cloth. Don’t leave the spill in the
dishwasher. It can keep your
detergent from working.
If you can’t find any rinse agent,
write:

Keep your detergent fresh and
dry. Under the sink isn’t a good
place to store detergent. Too much

you’re ready to wash dishes, either.

If this is your first dishwasher, or

2. Remove large quantities of any

food bits and flushes them away.
It can handle small amounts of
soft foods, but large amounts will
be difficult to handle.
When using the

dishes. Items with burned-on and

How to
color
If you are redecorating, you can
change your dishwasher’s front
panels to match or blend with
your new colors.
Note: Other color panels are
available for your dishwasher.
Check the color you want on the
color panel order form below and
mail it to us.
The panels are held in place by
the door trim and the trim on the
panel below the door. Each side
of each panel is a different color.
Or, you can paint a panel with the
color of your own choice.
Color panels can be replaced by
thick wood inserts to match
your kitchen cabinets. Get them
from your nearest cabinet or
lumber dealer.
