Main wash section 3. Pre-wash section 4. Cover How much detergent to use • The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent.

Dispenser Dishwasher Efficiency Tips Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a smell amount of the rinse aid into the dnse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type. Hot water dissolves and activates the dishwashing detergent. Hot water also dissolves grease on dishes and helps glasses dry spot-free.
