It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the main wash section for cycles with 1 wash. See the “Cycle Selection Charts” for more details.

How much detergent to use

■The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

■If you do not know your water hardness, call the Customer Interaction Center and ask for a free water hardness test strip, Part Number 4171690.

■Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If you have hard water and use a detergent with a phosphorous content of less than 8.7%, you might need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

4. Cover

The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the “Cycle Selection Charts.”)

■Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

■Add detergent just before starting a cycle.

■Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

KUDS01IL specifications

The KitchenAid KUDS01IL stands out as a reliable and efficient dishwasher, crafted for those who seek optimal cleaning performance without sacrificing style. Designed for both functionality and aesthetics, this model integrates seamlessly into any kitchen decor.

One of the most notable features of the KitchenAid KUDS01IL is its robust cleaning performance, thanks to its ProWash Cycle. This intelligent technology automatically adjusts the wash settings based on the soil level of the dishes, ensuring that every load receives the precise cleaning power required. Whether tackling heavily soiled pots or lightly used glassware, users can expect sparkling clean results every time.

The KUDS01IL is equipped with a durable stainless steel interior, which not only enhances its longevity but also improves drying performance. The stainless steel helps to maintain high temperatures during cycles, enabling better sanitization while reducing the chances of the dishes developing unpleasant odors. A noteworthy characteristic of this model is its Quiet Wash sound insulation system, which minimizes noise levels during operation. With noise ratings as low as 47 decibels, it allows for a peaceful kitchen environment, making it easier to entertain guests or spend quality time with family.

Another significant technology featured in the KUDS01IL is the Clean Water Wash System. This innovative design continuously filters and recycles wash water, ensuring that only the cleanest water is used during the cleaning process. By preventing food particles from redepositing onto dishes, this system elevates the overall cleaning effectiveness.

The KitchenAid KUDS01IL also offers a flexible loading design, featuring a top rack with adjustable tines and a spacious bottom rack that accommodates larger items like pots and pans. The removable silverware basket adds convenience, making it easier to organize utensils for a thorough clean.

Energy efficiency is another hallmark of the KUDS01IL, as it is ENERGY STAR® certified. This not only helps in reducing household energy costs but also reflects a commitment to environmentally responsible practices.

In summary, the KitchenAid KUDS01IL is a blend of advanced technology, thoughtful design, and energy efficiency. Its ability to deliver exceptional cleaning performance while maintaining a quiet operation makes it an ideal choice for any modern kitchen.
