Safety Instructions

The cover of the main wash section will open during the wash cycle. If you are using the SmartDispense, leave the cover of the main wash section dispenser open before starting the cycle.

For the Manual Washer Dispenser, Cascade® and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents have been approved. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the Manual Washer Dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.

Operating

Manual Washer Dispenser

The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is hard or soft. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft water, you need less detergent.

Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called etching.

Use the information in the table below as a guideline to determine the amount of automatic dishwasher detergent to place in the dispenser. You may use powder, liquid, gel or tablet in this dispenser.

When using automatic dishwashing detergent tablets, simply place one tablet in the main wash section and close.

NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.

Because so many detergent containers look alike, store the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and where it is stored.

While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher, your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing detergent that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.
