Premeasured Detergents
High quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended
for improved performance.
Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than
powder, liquid, or gel detergents at reducing filming on
dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce
or eliminate white film. They are suitable for all hardness
and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize
repeat buildup of white film (not all packs and tablets contain
rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents in the main
compartment and slide the lid closed.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types. See the complete owner's manual
for more details about powders, liquids, and gels.
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent
■
just before starting a cycle.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better
■
cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in
a cool dry place.

*The prewash compartment is on top of the sliding door
of the dispenser.
**A full main wash compartment contains 2 Tbsp (30 mL).
IMPORTANT: Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains
per U.S. gallon or more) can cause damage to your dishwasher
and make it difficult to achieve good results. A water softener
is recommended to avoid damage and achieve good results.
NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other
dishwasher detergent types.
Add Rinse Aid
IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid. The
use of rinse aid greatly improves drying by allowing water to
drain from the dishes after the final rinse. Rinse aid also keeps
water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.
Filling the dispenser
The dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under most
conditions, this will last 1 to 3 months.
NOTE: Indicator reads correct fill level when door is
completely opened.
