Adding detergent

The kind and amount of dishwasher detergent you use is an important part of getting your dishes clean. Read this section carefully.

Use automatic dish- washer detergent only.

Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy to work in the dishwasher.

Different brands of

dishwasher detergent have different amounts

of phosphorus. Phos- phorus softens water and

helps prevent water spots on dishes.

If water is hard and

phosphorus content is low (6.0% or less], you may need to use more detergent or use a brand with a higher phosphorus content (8.7% or higher).

Do not add detergent until you are ready to wash. Fresh automatic

dishwasher detergent

is necessary for best

washing results. Store detergent tightly closed in a cool dry place.

The detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section with a cover and one without.

l Put detergent in both sections for cycles with two washes.

l Put detergent in the covered section only for cycles with one wash.

l Push the cover down until it is latched.

The cover opens auto- matically when the main

4 wash starts. Detergent in

-the open section falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed.
