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%.

Amount of Detergent

Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse aids prevent water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to drain off of the dishes during the final rinse by releasing a small amount of the rinse aid into the rinse water. Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Do not use a solid or bar-type.

Filling the dispenser

The rinse aid dispenser holds 4.8 oz (145 mL) of rinse aid. Under normal conditions, this will last for about three months. Rinse aid is released through an opening in the dispenser. When latched properly, the cover remains closed. The cover should be opened only when refilling the dispenser. You do not have to wait until the dispenser is empty to refill it. Try to keep it full, but be careful not to overfill it.

1.Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

2.Open the dispenser by pushing the cover latch.
