Dishwasher USE, Filling the dispenser | Kenmore 665.13475 guide

DISHWASHER USE

The detergent dispenser has two sections. The smaller Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door. The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the "Cycle Selection Charts.")

A. Cover latch

B. Main Wash section

C. Pre-Wash section

•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 with a Quick Rinse cycle.

•The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your dishes, hardness of your water, and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes will not 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 Sears Sales Associate, local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.
