NOTES:

■Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.

DISHWASHER USE

DetergentDispenser

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you close the door.

A B C D

A.Cover

B.Main Wash section

C.Cover latch

D.Pre-Wash section

The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher during the main wash. (See “Cycle Selection Charts.”)

■Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing performance.

■Add detergent just before starting a cycle.

■Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent if you have selected a rinse cycle.
