Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents
can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
Add detergent just before starting cycle.
Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh
automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use detergent with a Quick Rinse cycle.
How much detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your dishes, hardness of your water, and the type of detergent. If you
use too little, dishes will not 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 Sears Sales Associate, local
water department, water softener company, or county extension agent
