Hot Water
To get dishes clean and dry you need
hot water. To help you get water of the
proper temperature,
your dishwasher
automatically
heats the water in the
wash cycle. Higher water temperature
is
needed to dissolve grease and activate
powder detergent&
For good washing
and drying, the entering water must be
at least 120°F. To prevent dish damage,
inlet water should not exceed 150°E
Check your water temperature
with a
candy or meat thermometer.
Turn on the hot water faucet nearest
the dishwasher.
Put the thermometer
in
a glass and let the water run continuously
into the glass until the temperature
stops rising_
Do not operate the dishwasher
during
or right after other heavy use of hot water,
such as for laundry or bathing..
Water Pressure
Water supply pressure
must be between
!5 and 120 pounds per square inch. To
determine
if you have enough pressure,
put a 1 quart container
under a fully
opened
hot water faucet nearest the
dishwasher.
If the container
fills in less
than 9 seconds, water pressure is within
an acceptable
range. Be sure all other
faucets are turned off during this test.
Water Conditions
In areas where water is very hard
(12 grains or more), it may be necessary
to install a water softener to assure
proper performance
from your dishwasher..
If you do not know the hardness of your
water supply, contact your local water
department
or bring a sample into your
Sears store for testing,
Detergents
Only use detergents
labeled for use
in automatic
dishwashers.
NEVER
use
laundry detergents,
liquid soaps or other
household
cleaners in your dishwasher.
Some detergents
will be more effective
with your water conditions
than others.
Store detergent
in a cool, dry place.
Rinse Agents
Rinse agents make water flow off dishes
quicker than usual. This lessens water
spotting and makes drying faster, too°
Rinse agents come in either liquid or solid
form_ Your dishwasher's
dispenser
uses
the liquid form.
