Detergent will harden if it sits too long. • Store dry detergent in a cool dry place to prevent caking. • Use a liquid rinse aid for best results (See page 15). • If the detergent dispenser lid is closed, press the release button to open it. • The detergent dispenser has two compartments: The smaller pre-wash compartment, and the main wash compartment. • The pre-wash compartment empties into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The main wash compartment releases detergent automatically during the main wash cycle. • Fill the pre-wash cup to the top. • See the table below for the amount of detergent to use in the main wash cup. The amount of detergent required depends on the hardness of the water in your area. Harder water requires more detergent. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon (gpg). Do not use too little detergent for your water hardness. Doing so can cause poorly cleaned dishes, filming or spotting. If you use too much detergent, you can cause a permanent film called etching. To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your water company. Release Button Pre-wash Compartment Main Wash Compartment Dispenser Lid • After loading both compartments, close the dispenser lid. • Detergent alone may not be enough for water hardness above 12. For maximum cleanness you may need to use a water softener. Or you may add additional detergent about 20 minutes after starting your dishwasher. As a rule, add 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12: 1. Open the door. The dishwasher will stop operating. 2. Wait a moment for the steam to clear. 3. Without touching any of the hot surfaces or racks, pour additional dishwashing detergent into the bottom of the dishwashing compartment. 4. Close the door. Push on the door handle to make sure that the door is completely shut. After a short pause, operation will resume. Water Hardness (gpg) Amount of Detergent Soft (0-3) 3 tsp. Medium (4-9) 4 - 9 tsp. Hard (10-12) 10 -12 tsp. Dacor® Dishwasher Operating Your Dishwasher Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser IMPORTANT: • Rinse aid is important to the drying process of the dishware. It also reduces spotting. Dacor recommends that you keep the rinse aid dispenser full at all times. • The rinse aid indicator on the dispenser turns “clear” when it is empty. • The rinse aid dispenser must be properly adjusted. Too little rinse aid will allow spotting and drying problems. Too much rinse aid will cause foaming and streaking. • A rinse aid containing citric acid may be used to remove the white or gray film caused by very hard water. • To refill the rinse aid dispenser: 1. Turn the rinse aid cap counterclockwise to the open position and lift it out. 2. Carefully pour the rinse aid into the filler hole until the rinse aid level is even with the bottom of the hole. Do not overfill. 3. Wipe up any spillage. 4. Replace the rinse aid cap and turn it clockwise to the closed position. Open Closed Empty Not Empty Adjusting the Rinse Aid Dispenser The rinse aid setting is located under the rinse aid cap. It is set at the factory to 4. To change the setting: 1. Remove the rinse aid cap. 2. If you have spotty or improperly dried dishes, move the rinse aid setting to the next higher number. If you have streaks on your dishes, move the rinse aid setting to the next lower number. The harder the water, the more rinse aid required for acceptable results. 3. Replace the cap. 4. Check the dishes after the next wash load. Continue adjusting the rinse aid dispenser up or down according to the guidelines above until you have spot free, streak free, dry dishes. If you have very soft water and still experience streaking when the dispenser is set to 1, you can dilute the rinse aid with water before pouring it into the dispenser to get acceptable results. 6 345 2 1 MAX Filler Hole Use and Care Manual Operating Your Dishwasher Starting Your Dishwasher IMPORTANT: • See the Getting to Know Your Dishwasher section for a description of the various wash settings. • If the dishwasher drain line is connected to a garbage disposal, run the disposal before operating the dishwasher for proper drainage.
