Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent.

ATTENTION

To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products.

This dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less detergent. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser cup.

ATTENTION

To avoid dishware damage, do not use too much detergent if your water supply is soft. Using too much detergent in soft water may cause etching in glassware.

NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of detergent. Increase the amount of detergent, if necessary, to the least amount required to get your dishware and kitchenware clean.

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

Fill the dispenser cup as recommend in Table 1. (See Figure 17 for additional information.) To close, slide the detergent dispenser cover in the direction shown in Figure 18 and press it down firmly so the cover snaps shut.

To open the detergent dispenser cover, press the blue release tab in the direction shown in Figure 19. Pressing down on the release tab will not open the cover.

Rinse Agents

To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse agent, even if your detergent contains a rinse agent or drying additive.

Rinse Agent Dispenser

Open the rinse agent dispenser by lifting the tab with your thumb as shown in Figure 20.

NOTE: The dishwasher indicates low rinse agent with the “Refill Rinse Agent” message at the control panel.

Add liquid rinse agent to the dispenser as shown in Figure 21 until the rinse agent reservoir is full. Wipe up any excess rinse agent that puddles when the dispenser reservoir is full.
