Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one covered and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered cup opens automatically to release detergent.

•Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents will cause oversudsing.

•When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs, place one tab in main wash cup and close.

•Add detergent just before starting cycle.

•Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve properly.

How much Detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause a permanent film called etching. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area.

*Note: For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. As a rule, use 1 teaspoon for each grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent to the bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.

Each model combines advanced technology with user-friendly design, ensuring efficient performance while maintaining a commitment to energy conservation and water efficiency.

One of the standout features of these models is the SmartWash technology. This intelligent system utilizes advanced sensors to assess the soil level of dishes and adjusts the wash cycle accordingly.

Another notable characteristic is the Series' TurboZone feature. This includes specialized jets strategically placed within the dishwasher's interior to target stuck-on food particles. The TurboZone ensures that all dishes, even those in the most difficult spots, receive a thorough clean. Accompanying this is the Dual Spray Arm technology, which provides enhanced coverage throughout the wash cycle, ensuring that every item receives optimal cleaning.

The interior design of these Kenmore models is also exceptional, featuring adjustable upper racks that can accommodate larger cookware and utensils. The flexible loading options make it easier for users to maximize space according to their specific needs. Furthermore, with the TotalCare stainless steel interior, users benefit from enhanced durability and improved drying performance.

Energy efficiency is a critical factor for many consumers today, and the Kenmore 587 series is Energy Star certified, ensuring that it meets energy conservation standards while delivering powerful cleaning performance.

For added convenience, these dishwashers are equipped with quiet operation technology, allowing them to run at noise levels as low as 49 dBA. This feature ensures that the appliance can run during family gatherings or at night without disrupting the household.

In summary, the Kenmore 587 series offers a combination of innovation and practicality. From SmartWash technology and TurboZone cleaning to energy efficiency and quiet operation, these models are designed to meet the demands of any modern kitchen while providing reliable and effective dishwashing capabilities.
