2.Main Wash section

3.Cover latch

4.Pre-Wash section

The Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See the “Cycle Selection Charts.”)

■Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

■Add detergent just before starting cycle.

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

NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.

Filling the dispenser

1.If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing the Cover latch.

2.Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See “How Much Detergent to Use.”

3.Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed.

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

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use only the covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the “Cycle Selection Charts” for more details.

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.

■Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.

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