USING YOUR DISHWASHER

Air Dry option

If the Air Dry option is selected, air in the

dishwasher is not heated during the “dry"

part of the cycle. Using this option helps

save energy, but dishes take longer to dry

(overnight) and some water spotting may

result. Some items (such as plastics) may

need towel drying. For best drying results,

use a liquid rinse agent.

Using the detergent dispenser

What type of detergent to use

• Use automatic dishwasher detergent

only. Other detergents are too mild and

much too sudsy to work in the dishwasher.

• Follow manufacturer’s directions when

using liquid automatic dishwasher deter

gent or concentrated powder detergent.

• Do not add detergent until you are ready

to wash.

• Store detergent tightly closed in a cool, dry

place. Fresh automatic dishwasher

detergent is necessary for best washing

resuits.

NOTE: Different brands of dishwasher

detergent have different amounts of phos-

phoms 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 (8.7%).

The detergent dispenser

The detergent dispenser has one section

with a cover and one without.

• Put detergent in both sections for cycles

with two washes. See “Cycle selection

chart” on pages 9-10.

• Put detergent only in the covered section

for cycles with one wash. See “Cycle

selection chart” on pages 9-10.

• 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.
