Place small items like baby bottle caps, jar lids, corn cob holders, etc., in the section(s) with hinged cover(s). Close the cover to hold small items in place (on some models).
How much detergent to use • The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch. Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out your water's hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent. Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorous for softening water.
4, DishwasherEfficiencyTips Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free. For best dishwashing results, water must be at least 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher. Loads may not wash as well if the water temperature is too low. To check water temperature 1. Run hot water at the faucet closest to your dishwasher for at least 1 minute. 2, Place a candy or meat thermometer in a glass measuring cup.
