It's nice that the machine is deluxe enough to have a detergent dispenser. Frigidaire was bad about not offering detergent dispensers in less deluxe models. I remember models like that where there was a detergent cup with a screen over it. I think the term was a wash out dispenser and with one wash and 4 rinses, the performance was a wash out, too.  It was a carryover from the spinning spray tube models. I was looking at a cycle chart for these machines and was surprised that the wash was only 5 or 7 minutes long, even in the more deluxe models with the detergent dispenser.

These machines and the GEs of the same period were hard on Melamine dishes. The drying portions of the cycle could scorch the edges of plates that were over the powerful heating elements. Rich's, the department store where I worked, still used to get in promotional sets of Melamine dishes that often were very pretty. Being a store where the customer was always right, we would take back the damaged sets and give a refund or credit, but once Corelle dishes were introduced, we no longer sold the Melamine sets and would steer the customer to the Corelle and give an allowance towards the new set. Serrated knives in sets of stainless steel flatware put nasty scratches in Melamine. Plates would look like they had gone through a war while the rest of the set looked OK.
