Operating Your Dishwasher

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

IMPORTANT:

•Do not use hand dishwashing detergents. They will create excessive foaming that interferes with proper operation.

•To make sure the detergent dissolves properly, fill the detergent dispenser just prior to starting your dishwasher. Detergent will harden if it sits too long.

•Store dry detergent in a cool dry place to prevent caking.

•Use a liquid rinse aid for best results (See page 15).

Release Button

¾If the detergent dispenser lid is closed, press the release button to open it.

¾The detergent dispenser has two compartments: The smaller pre-wash compartment, and the main wash compartment.

¾The pre-wash compartment empties into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The main wash compartment releases detergent automatically during the main wash cycle.

¾Fill the pre-wash cup to the top.

¾See the table below for the amount of detergent to use in the main wash cup. The amount of detergent required depends on the hardness of the water in your area. Harder water requires more detergent. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon (gpg). Do not use too little detergent for your water hardness. Doing so can cause poorly cleaned dishes, filming or spotting. If you use too much detergent, you can cause a permanent film called etching. To find out the water hardness in your area, contact your water company.
