Using the Dispensers

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 tightly closed detergent 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 for the main wash. It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with two washes. Use only the covered section for cycles with one wash. See the cycles chart 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.

•Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.
