Using the detergent dispenser

Details about detergent

What type of detergent to use

•Use automatic dishwasher detergent only.

NOTE: Never use soap, hand-dishwashing detergent, or laundry detergent. These products will produce excessive suds which could cause flooding and reduce washing performance.

•Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using powdered, liquid, or gel dishwasher detergents. Concentrated (Ultra) powdered detergents usually call for lower usage than do standard powdered detergents.

•Add detergent to the dispenser just before starting the dishwasher.

•Keep detergent container tightly closed in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of children. After opening, a box of detergent should stay fresh for about one month. Detergent exposed to moisture over a period of time might become caked and ineffective.
