Dishwashing Detergents have beenapproved for use
in all GEdishwashers.Keepuour detergent fresh and

until Uou'reready to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to usedepends on whether
your water ishard or soft. With hard water, you need
extra detergent. With soft water, you need less
detergent.
Protect your dishes and dishwasherby contacting
your water department and asking how hard your
water is.Twelve or more grains is extremely hard
wateEA water softener isrecommended. Without it,
lime can build up in the water valve,which could
stick while open and causeflooding. Too much
detergent with soft water can cause a permanent
cloudinessof glassware,called etching.
