DETERGENT DISPENSER

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the “Wash Cycle

Table”. Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse agent than conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one table-

spoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Items that are heavily soiled, require more detergent.

Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.

Amount of Detergent to Use

The amount of detergent needed can vary due to the differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in

your area, contact your local water utility or area water softening company. The harder the water, the more detergent

you may need. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use little by little, until you find the right

amount.

To open the detergent cover, press the button and the

cover will flip back.

Removing Hard Water Spots

To remove hard water spots, try the following:

• Run dishes through a normal wash program.

• Remove all metal dish-ware, such as cutlery, pans,

etc., from the dishwasher.

• Do not add detergent.

• Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl

face up on the lower rack of the dishwasher.

• Run the dishwasher though a normal wash program. If

this doesn’t work, try the same process with a 1/4 cup

of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.

WARNING!

Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it

out of the reach of children.

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in automatic

dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put

powder detergent into dispenser until you’re ready to wash

dishes.

• DO NOT use liquid soap in your dishwasher!

RINSE AGENT DISPENSER

Filling the Dispenser



Rinse Agent Setting

To adjust the Setting

The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz of rinse agent. Under

normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to

keep it full, but do not overfill.

• Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.

• Turn the dispenser knob to the left and lift it out.

• Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full.

• Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.

• Replace the dispenser cap.

The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be

adjusted. The factory setting is at a midpoint. If there are rings

of calcium (hard water) spots on the dishes, try a higher setting.

Remove the dispenser cap, then turn the adjuster counter-

clockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent used and

clockwise to decrease the amount of rinse agent used.

A rinse agent is released during the final cycle to prevent water

droplets and streaks from forming on the dishes. A rinse agent

also allows water to “sheet” off the dishes easier and improve

drying time.
