softener to maximize the performance of
your dishwasher. Also, in areas with hard
water (9+) you may need to wash at lower
temperatures to prevent hard water deposits
from forming in tank and wash system.
In hard water areas, both the dishes and
the machine can develop a white or gray
film after a while. This can be removed by
replacing the prewash detergent with two
tablespoons of citric acid. If the water is very
hard, use a rinse aid that contains citric acid.
Different brands of dishwasher detergent
have different amounts of phosphorous for
softening water. If you have hard water and
use a detergent with less than 8.7% phos-
phorous content, you may need to use more
detergent or use a detergent with more than
8.7% phosphorous content. p p
NOTE:
We recommend that you do not add pre-
wash detergent for the Delicate or Quick
wash programs. p g
NOTE:
If you use a dishwashing detergent with
a rinse aid additive, you should not fill the
rinse aid dispenser. This could cause a film
on your dishes.
Dishwasher tablets
Halve the tablet if it is difficult to close the
dispenser cover. There is a risk that the

properly to give the correct dosage if the
cover is tight and cannot be opened cor-
rectly.
