The detergent dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one section with a cover and one without.
l Put detergent in both sections for cycles with two washes. See “Cycle selection chart” on
paw 8.
l Put detergent only in the covered section for cycles with one wash. See “Cycle selection chart” on page 8.
l Push the cover down until it is latched.
Detergent in the open section falls into the dishwasher when the door is closed. The covered section opens automatically when the main wash starts.
How much detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the hardness of your water. If too little is used, dishes won’t be clean. However, if too much is used in soft water, glassware will begin to etch.

Find out your water’s hardness by asking your local water department, water softener company or county extension agent.

Using the rinse agent dispenser
Rinse agent dispenser
Keep the rinse agent dispenser filled with a liquid rinse agent. A rinse agent greatly improves the drying of dishes by helping water flow off them during the last rinse. A rinse agent also keeps water from forming droplets and drying as spots.
Release of a small amount of rinse agent into the rinse water is automatic in the final rinse of each cycle. For best drying results, check the dispenser periodically to see if it needs refilling.
