Use and Care Guide

DISHWASHER DISPENSER AND DETERGENTS

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one covered cup. The cov-

ered cup opens automatically to release detergent.

• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other

detergents may cause oversudsing.

• When using automatic dishwashing detergent tabs,

place one tab in main wash cup and close.

• Add detergent just before starting cycle.

• Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked

detergent may not dissolve properly.

CAUTION

The use of industrial grade detergent can damage parts of

the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surround-

ing property. Use only household grade automatic dish-

washer detergent.

NOTE

Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior

of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions see “Removing

Spots and Film” section.

Detergent tablets and All-In-One packs may not dissolve

completely if used with the Quick Wash cycles. If one of

these products are used, place the tab or pack directly on

the bottom of the tub in a corner before starting the dish-

washer, rather than placing these products in the dispenser.

How much Detergent to use

The amount of detergent to use depends on the water

hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon.

Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and

hard water lming or spotting. Using too much detergent

in soft water can cause etching to some glassware which

is surface damage that appears like a lm but cannot be

wiped off. Your local water company, water softener compa-

ny or county extension agent can tell you the water hard-

ness in your area.
