GE Monogram ZBD1870 - Manuel (Page 9)

Use only detergent specifically made for use
in dishwashers. Cascade
® and Electrasol ®
Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been
approved for use in all Monogram Dishwashers.
Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put
detergent into the dispenser until you’re ready
to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on
whether your water is hard or soft. With hard
water, you need extra detergent. With soft water,
you need less detergent.
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.
Use the information in the table below as a
guideline to determine the amount of automatic
dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser.
When using automatic dishwasher detergent
tablets, simply place one tablet in the dispenser
and close the cover.
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.
