Detergent Dispenser

To open your detergent dispenser cover, press the retainer button. The cover will flip back.

Once the cover is open, fill the detergent main cup compartment with detergent, as suggested in the guide below. Close the cover until it clicks shut.

Some cycles will also require the open cup to be filled. See the guide below for the suggested amount of detergent to use.

The detergent will be dispensed automatically during the wash portion of the cycle.

If you have a problem closing the cover of the detergent dispenser, it is likely due to excess detergent in the area where the cover seals. Brush the detergent away from the seal area and relatch. If the cover still will not close it may be because the machine was stopped in the wash portion of the cycle.

How to Prepare the Dishes for Washing

If this is your first dishwasher, or if you’re replacing a much older model, you may wonder how much preparation your dishes need. Actually very little. Scrape off bones, seeds, skins, toothpicks and other hard solids. Remove excessive quantities of oil

or grease.

NOTE: You may also want to consider removing foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and other foods that can cause discoloration of stainless steel if allowed to remain on dishes for a long period of time.

The POTS & PANS cycle can wash heavily soiled dishes and remove dried-on and baked-on soils from pots, pans and casseroles. Items with burned-on soils need extra preparation.
