Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one main wash cup and one prewash cup. 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.

The use of industrial grade detergent can damage the heating coil and other parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only household grade automatic dishwasher detergents.

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.
