Dishwasher Dispenser & Detergents
12
Filing the Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has one covered cup.
The covered cup opens automatically to release
detergent.
•
Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other detergents may cause
oversudsing.
•
When using automatic dishwashing detergent
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 may not dissolve properly.
CAUTION
The use of industrial grade detergent can damage
parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to
the unit and surrounding property. Use only
household grade automatic dishwasher detergent.
NOTE
Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup
on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning
instructions see "Removing Spots and Film"
section.
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on the
water hardness. Water hardness 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 to some glassware which is
surface damage that appears like a fi lm but cannot
be wiped off. Your local water company, water
softener company or county extension agent can
tell you the water hardness in your area.

NOTE
Detergent tablets and All-In-One packs may not
dissolve completely if used with the Quick Wash
cycles. If one of these products are used, place
the tab or pack directly on the bottom of the tub
in a corner before starting the dishwasher, rather
than placing these products in the dispenser.
