This dishwasher may have SmartDispenseTM, a feature which automatically dispenses liquid automatic dishwasher detergent into each cycle based on soil level and water hardness.

To utilize the SmartDispenseTM Detergent Dispenser, it must first be filled. Although any liquid or gel automatic dishwashing detergent can be used in the SmartDispenseTM system, all liquid or gel automatic dishwashing detergents are not the same. Most automatic dishwashing detergents are chlorine bleach-based (such as Cascade® or Electrasol®) while others contain enzymes (such as Cascade Complete®).

Do not mix any chlorine bleach-based automatic dishwashing detergent with any dishwashing detergent containing enzymes as this could cause the detergents to congeal and lead to blockage of the SmartDispenseTM system. Check the detergent label to determine if the detergent is chlorine bleach-based or one that contains enzymes. It is recommended that the same type of detergent be used when refilling your SmartDispenseTM system.

CAUTION! Absolutely do not add powder detergent, tablets or any liquid soap or detergent normally used for washing hands or dishes in a sink. Only use liquid or gel detergent specifically designed for use in an automatic dishwasher.

To open the dispenser for filling, push down and turn the blue cap counterclockwise until the cap is loose. Lift cap off.

Set the door at a comfortable angle to fill the dispenser.

Aim the detergent bottle at the opening in the door and begin to fill.

The dispenser will hold 45 oz of liquid dishwasher detergent (standard size bottle).

Turn clockwise.

When full, replace the cap and turn clockwise until tight. If residue is left on the door, it will be washed off in the next cycle.

An indicator light will turn on to notify you when the dispenser needs to be filled again. After filling, the light will not turn off until the door is closed. A full dispenser will last approximately 1 month for the average user.
