basket forward to release the tabs from the corresponding slots.

NOTES:

•Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

•Some foods (such as salt, vinegar, milk products, fruit juices,

etc.) can pit or corrode silverware. Run a rinse cycle if you do not have a full load to wash immediately.

DISHWASHER USE

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

1.Cover latch

2.Main Wash section

3.Pre-Wash section

4.Cover

The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the 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 if you have selected a rinse cycle.

Filling the dispenser

1.if the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by rotating the cover latch.

2.Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See the following section "How much detergent to use."

3.Fill the Pre-Wash section, if needed. (See "Cycle Selection Charts.")

4.Close the dispenser cover.

The cover will open during the cycle to dispense the detergent.

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.
