ProperUseof Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made fi)r use
in dishwashers. Cascade _, Cascade (_,omi)lete _
and Electrasol= Autonmtic Dishwashing
Detergents have been approved for use in
all GE dishwashers. Keep yore" detergent
fl'esh and dry: Don't put powdered detergent
into tile dispenser until you're ready to wash
dishes.
Tile amo/mt of detergent to use depends on
whether wmr water is hard or soft. With hard
water, you need extra detergent. With soti
water, you need less detergent.
Protect vom" dishes and dishwasher by
contacting yore" water department and asking
how hard wmr water is. Twelve or inore grains
is extremely hard water. A water softener is
recommended. Without it, lime can build up
in the water wflve, which could stick while
open and cause flooding. Too much detergent
with sofi water can cause a permanent
cloudiness of glassware, called etching.
For heavily-soiled loads, use the Pots and Pans or Heavy Wash
cycles and add a little extra detergent.
