Using The Dispensers; Using The Detergent Dispenser; How Much Detergent To Use - Inglis 355 Série Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Using the Dispensers

Using the detergent dispenser

• Use automatic dishwashing detergent
only. Other detergents are too mild and
much too sudsy.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry
place. Fresh automatic dishwasher
detergent results in better cleaning.

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.
• Find out your water's hardness by asking your local water department, water softener
company, or county extension agent.
WATER HARDNESS
Soft to Medium Hard Water
0 to 6 grains per gallon
Medium to Hard Water
7 to 12 grains per gallon
NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you
use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Follow instructions on the package when
using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.

• Fill the Main Wash section (3 tablespoons or 45 grams)

Filling the detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one section
with a cover and one without. Push the
cover down firmly until it latches. Detergent
in the open section falls into the dishwasher
when closing the door. The covered section
opens automatically for the main wash. It is
normal for the cover to open partially when
dispensing detergent.
NOTES:
• Use both sections for cycles with two
washes. Use only the covered section for
cycles with one wash. See the cycles
chart for more details.
• If you select the Light cycle by turning
the Cycle Control knob before filling the
detergent dispenser, the cover will not
stay latched. This is normal and will not
affect washing performance.
