DETERGENT DISPENSER

The detergent and rinse aid dispensers are on the inside of the dishwasher door.

If the detergent dispenser is not open, push the small lever at the top, as illustrated. There are two compartments. The one marked “15” holds about one tablespoon of detergent. This compartment should generally be filled for lightly soiled wash loads. The compartment marked “25” holds about one and one-half tablespoon of detergent. This compartment should be used for normally and heavily soiled loads.

For extremely soiled loads, such as baked-on casseroles, you may need to use a prewash. The detergent for prewash goes into the small indentation on the outside of the detergent dispenser door. You should only need about a teaspoon of detergent for the prewash.

NOTE: The amount of detergent used for the main wash and prewash combined should never be over three tablespoons.

Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and won’t dissolve properly.

TYPE OF DETERGENT TO USE

We recommend that you use only unscented, granular automatic dishwashing detergent. Using the wrong detergent could cause flooding and/or damage your dishwasher. Do not use detergent that has been wet and is clumped. Also, check the expiration date on the container.

The prewash detergent goes here.

WARNING! Never use liquid dishwashing soap. It will cause the machine to oversuds. Use only automatic dishwashing detergent, preferably a granular.

WARNING! Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out of reach of children.

AMOUNT OF DETERGENT TO USE

Eurotech dishwashers are designed to be energy efficient. Because the machine uses less water than conventional dishwashers, you also use less detergent and rinse aid. Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. The amount of detergent needed for your dishes, however, could be more, depending on the hardness of the water in your area. Also, more heavily soiled items need more detergent. (See page 19.)

To determine the water hardness in your area, contact your local water utility or area water softening company. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need. Refer to the following chart for the recommended detergent amounts based on water hardness. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the correct amount.
