Use only detergent specifically made for use
in dishwashers. Cascade
® , Cascade Complete ®
and Electrasol ® Automatic Dishwashing
Detergents have been approved for use in all
Monogram Dishwashers. Keep your powdered
detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put detergent
into the dispenser until you’re ready to wash
dishes.
All wash cycles except RINSE ONLY require
detergent in the main and pre-wash cup. The
amount of detergent to use depends on
whether your water is hard or soft. With hard
water, fill the main wash section and pre-wash
section completely. With soft water, fill both
sections halfway. When using automatic
dishwashing detergents tabs, simply place one
tab in the main wash section and close.
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by
contacting your water department and asking
how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains
is extremely hard water. A water softener is
recommended. Without it, lime can build up in
the water valve, which could stick while open
and cause flooding. Too much detergent with
soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of
glassware, called etching.
To fill the dispenser, if the dispenser is closed,
open the cover by depressing the cover latch.
Fill the Main Wash Section with detergent. Fill
the Pre-wash section if needed. Then close the
dispenser cover.
It is normal for the cover to open partially when
dispensing detergent.
Do not use hand dish detergent.
NOTE: Using a detergent that is not
specifically designed for dishwashers will
cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During
operation, these suds will spill out of the
dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen
floor and making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look
alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a
separate space from all other cleaners. Show
anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct
detergent and where it is stored.
While there will be no lasting damage to the
dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using
a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated
to work with dishwashers.
