DISHWASHER USE

Detergent Dispenser

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.

Filling the dispenser

1.If the dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by pushing the cover latch.

2.Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See “How much detergent to use.”

3.Fill the Pre-Wash section if needed. (See “Cycle Selection Charts.”)

4.Close the dispenser cover.

The cover will open during the cycle to dispense the detergent.

How much detergent to use

■The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water and the type of detergent. If you use too little, dishes won’t be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.

■Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company, or county extension agent.
