Refer to this page in the Use & Care Guide. 3, 4 3 5, 6 4, 5 AMOUNT OF DISHWASHING DETERGENT TO USE We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. Generally, one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items, however, may need more detergent. Also, the amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need. (See page 5. ) In any case, you should never use more than three tablespoons of detergent. TEMPERATURE OPTIONS You can select high or low water temperatures for the wash programs (except Rinse and hold). The table to the right shows the temperature options for each program. We recommend that you use the lower temperatures whenever possible to conserve energy. The indicator light glows if the temperature is set on high and it remains black if set on low. Once you select a temperature option, it will remain selected until you change it (except the Quick wash program, which reverts to 130° F).

If you used the high temperature options and the heat dry option, those lights will come on, too. [. . . ] See "Understanding the Indicator Lights" above. You may be using too much detergent or washing your dishes in water that is too hot. Try using less detergent and a lower temperature setting. (See pages 5 and 8. ) It's normal to have some water left in the sump area near the drain. [. . . ]
