USINGYOUR

DISHWASHER

The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The Pre-Wash

section empties detergent into the dishwasher when you

close the door. The Main Wash section automatically

empties detergent into the dishwasher during the wash

cycle.

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 cycle.

• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place.

Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better

cleaning.

NOTE: Do not use detergent with 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, Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fill the Pre-

Wash section if needed.

It is normal for the cover to open partially when dispensing

detergent.

NOTE: Use both sections for cycles with 2 washes. Use

only the covered section for cycles with 1 wash. See the

"Cycle Selection Chart" for more details.

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.

Different brands of dishwasher detergent have different

amounts of phosphorous for softening water. If you

have hard water and use a detergent with a

phosphorous content of less than 8.7%, you might

need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a

phosphorous content higher than 8.7%.
