USING THE DISHWASHER

DETERGENT USE

The detergent and rinse aid dispenser is lo-
cated on the front inside wall of the drawer. The
detergent dispenser has two sections:
1) Pre Wash and, 2) Main Wash.
The Pre Wash and Main Wash sections each
have inside fill line markings. The Pre Wash
section has one marking, which represents 1 tsp
(5 mL). When it is full, the Pre Wash section
holds 2 tsp (10 mL). The Main Wash section
has two markings. The lowest mark indicates
2 tsp (10 mL), and the middle mark 4 tsp
(20 mL). When the Main Wash section is full, it
contains 6 tsp (30 mL).
NOTE: The detergent dispenser is designed
for use with powdered detergent. Liquid and
tablet detergents are not suitable to be used in
the dispenser. (Dispenser posts are a reminder
not to use detergent tablets.)

IMPORTANT:
• Use powdered, automatic dishwashing de-
tergent only. Other detergents can produce
excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing perfor-
mance.
• Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry
place. Using fresh, automatic dishwasher
detergent results in better cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use detergent with a Rinse
program.
Filling The Powdered Detergent
Dispenser
1. Press the latch down and the door will
open.
2. Pour in detergent. No detergent is needed
for the Rinse program.
3. After filling the dispenser, close the door
until it clicks shut. The detergent will auto-
matically be released into the drawer dur-
ing the Wash program.
