Operating the dishwasher
Adding detergent
,Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients. Keep children away from detergent. Do not fill the detergent dispenser until you are ready to start the dish- washer.
Only use powder detergents or tab- lets formulated for residential dish- washers. The use of gel or liquid de- tergent is not recommended. Never fill the detergent dispenser to ca- pacity.
Do not use more than the recom- mended amount of detergent. Con- tinued use of too much detergent may cause machine damage.
^To open, press the latch on the deter- gent dispenser.
The horizontal marks in Compartment II indicate levels of approximately 1 1/4, 1 3/4 and 2 tablespoons (20, 25 and 30 ml) respectively.
^With the dishwasher door fully open fill compartment II with 2 tablespoon (30 ml) of powder detergent, or one detergent tablet.
^Close the cover. The cover will al- ways open at the end of a wash pro- gram except in "Rinse & Hold".
2 tablespoon (30 ml) of detergent is enough for most normally soiled loads. For heavily soiled loads, or if food has dried on the dishes, a program contain- ing a prewash cycle should be se- lected. Add an extra tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent to compartment I.
Less detergent is needed in homes with very soft water and when washing lightly soiled dishes.
