Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep

your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the

dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.

The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is

hard

soft

. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft

water, you need less detergent.

Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water

department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more

grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended.

Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick

while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water

can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called

etching.

You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the

inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles

require detergent in the main cup. Wash cycles

with two washes will also use the open cup.

Be sure the control panel lights are not

lit before adding detergent. Otherwise,

the detergent cup will not close and latch

properly. Add detergent then close the

main cup.

NOTE:

To open detergent cup after it has

been closed, simply turn the detergent cup

handle counter-clockwise until it releases.

A snapping sound may be heard.

Forget to Add a Dish?

A forgotten dish can be added any time before the main wash.

Push the door latch to the left.

Once the water calms, open the door. Steam may rise out of the

dishwasher.

Add forgotten dishes.

Close the door and push the latch to the far right.
