Operating the dishwasher
Adding detergent
Only use powder detergents or tab- lets formulated for residential dish- washers. Do not use gels or liquid detergents.
^Press the latch on the detergent dispenser. The cover will spring open.
^Fill the dispenser with 1 ½ table- spoons of powder detergent, or place a detergent tablet into com- partment II.
^Close the cover. The cover will al- ways be open at the end of a wash program (except “Rinse & Hold” ).
Generally, filling the dispenser with
1 ½ tablespoons (25 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, or place directly on the inner door panel.
Dishwasher detergents contain irri- tant and corrosive ingredients. They can cause burns in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breath- ing. Keep children away from deter- gent and from the dishwasher when the door is open.
To prevent children from coming into contact with dishwasher detergent, do not fill the detergent dispenser until you are ready to start the dish- washer.
Capacities:
Compartment I (prewash) holds a maxi- mum of 3/4 ounce (20 ml) and Com- partment II (main wash) holds a maxi- mum of 2 3/4 ounces (70 ml) when completely filled. The horizontal marks in Compartment II indicate levels of ap- proximately 3/4, 1, and 1 1/4 ounces (20, 25 and 30 ml) respectively.
