wash. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent is necessary for best washing results.

Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

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

l For cycles with one wash, put detergent in one section only.

l For cycles with two washes, put detergent in both sections.

lPush the cover down until it is latched.
