Automatic Dishwashing Detergent has been approved for use in all GE
dishwasher's° Keep your detergent flesh and diT. Don't put powder
detergent into the dispenser untiI you're ready to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is
hardor soft. With hard water, you need extra detergenL With soft
water, you need less detergent..
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water
department ,and asking how hard your water iso 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 doudiness of glassw-axe, called etching,

inside door of your dishwashen All wash cycles
require detergent in the main cup, Wash cycles
