Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
Filing the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one covered
and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the
uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when
the door is closed. The covered cup opens
later automatically to release detergent
during the main wash.
• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other detergents may cause
oversudsing.
• When using automatic dishwashing
detergents 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 will not
wash eff ectively and may not dissolve
properly.
CAUTION
The use of industrial grade detergent can
damage the heating coil and other parts
of the dishwasher leading to damage
to the unit and surrounding property.
Use only household grade automatic
dishwasher detergents.

NOTE
For very hard water, detergent alone may not be enough. A water softener is recommended
to improve water quality and dishwashing performance. Try adding more detergent at the
beginning of the main wash portion of the cycle. As a rule, add 1 teaspoon of detergent for
each water hardness grain above 12. Unlatch the door, open slowly and add detergent to the
bottom of the tub. Close the door to latch and the dishwasher will continue through the cycle.

How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the
water hardness, which is measured in grains
per gallon. Using too little detergent can
result in poor cleaning and hard water fi lming
or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft
water can cause etching, a permanent surface
damage that looks like a fi lm on the dishware.
Your local water company, water softener
company or county extension agent can tell
you the water hardness in your area.
