Adding detergent
Use only powder detergents formu- lated for residential dishwashers.
Do not use gels or liquid deter- gents.
Press the latch on the detergent dis- penser. The cover will spring open.
Fill the dispenser with one to two tablespoons of powder detergent.
Close the cover. The cover will al- ways be open at the end of a wash program (excluding the RINSE & HOLD program).
Generally, filling the dispenser with one to two tablespoons of detergent will be sufficient to ensure thorough cleaning.
If dishes are extra dirty, or if the soil has been allowed to dry on the dishes be- fore washing, a program utilizing a pre- wash cycle should be selected. In this case, extra detergent can be added to the small compartment labeled ( I ) in the center of the dispenser.
Dishwasher detergents contain irri- tants and corrosive ingredients. They can cause burns in the mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from detergent and from the dishwasher when the door is open.
To avoid the danger of children com- ing into contact with dishwasher detergent, only fill the detergent dis- penser immediately before starting the program.
Capacities:
Compartment I (prewash) takes a maxi- mum of 1 ounce (25 ml) and Compart- ment II (main wash) takes a maximum of 3 ounces (80 ml) when completely filled. There are horizontal marks to as- sist you in filling Compartment II. The marks indicate a level of approximately 3/4, 1, and 1 1/4 ounces (20, 25 and 30 ml respectively).
