USING YOUR DISHWASHER

Using the detergent dispenser

•Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy.

•Add detergent just before starting cycle.

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

Filling the detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section with a cover and one without. Push the cover down firmly until it latches. Detergent in the open section falls into the dishwasher when closing the door. The covered section opens automatically when the main wash starts.

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

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.

•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 may need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.

•Determine your water’s hardness by asking your local water department or water softener company.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown in chart are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use liquid or concentrated powdered detergent. Follow manufacturer’s directions when using liquid dishwasher detergent or concentrated powdered detergent.
