What kind of detergent to use

Use automatic dishwasher detergent only.

Other detergents are too mild and much too sudsy to work in the dishwasher.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different amounts of phosphorus for softening water. If water is hard and phosphorus content is low (6.0% or less), you may need to use more detergent or use a brand with a higher phosphorus content (6.7% or htgher).

Do not add detergent until you are ready to wash. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent is necessary for best washing results.

Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

The detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section with a cover and one without.

lFor cycles with one wash, put detergent in one section only.

l For cycles with two washes, put detergent in both sections.

Detergent in the open section falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered section opens automatically when the main wash starts.

NOTE: It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing detergent, The cover will open fully when the door is opened.

How much detergent to use
