Operation
Adding detergent
,Dishwasher detergents contain irritant and corrosive ingredients. Keep children away from detergent. Do not fill the detergent dispenser until you are ready to start the dish- washer.
Only use powder detergents or tab- lets formulated for residential dish- washers. The use of gel or liquid de- tergent is not recommended.
Never fill the detergent dispenser to capacity.
Do not use more than the recom- mended amount of detergent. Continued use of too much deter- gent may cause machine damage.
^To open, press the latch on the deter- gent dispenser.
The horizontal marks in Compartment II indicate levels of approximately 1 1/4, 1 3/4 and 2 tablespoons (20, 25 and 30 ml) respectively.
^With the dishwasher door fully open fill compartment II with 2 tablespoon (30 ml) of powder detergent, or one detergent tablet.
^Close the cover. The cover will al- ways open at the end of a wash pro- gram except in "Rinse & Hold".
2 tablespoon (30 ml) of detergent is enough for most normally soiled loads. For heavily soiled loads, or if food has dried on the dishes, a program contain- ing a prewash cycle should be se- lected. Add an extra tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent to compartment I.
Less detergent is needed in homes with very soft water and when washing lightly soiled dishes.
