Add Detergent
NOTE: If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse
cycle. Do not use detergent.
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid
or tablet 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 amount of detergent to use depends on:
How much soil remains on the items - Heavily soiled loads
require more detergent.
The hardness of the water - If you use too little in hard water,
dishes won't be clean. If you use too much in soft water,
glassware will etch.
Soft to Medium Water (0-6 grains per U.S. gallon)
[typical water softener water and some city water]
Medium to Hard Water (7-12 grains per U.S. gallon)
[well water and some city water]
■ Depending on your water hardness, fill the Main Wash section
of the dispenser as shown. Fill the Pre-Wash section to the
level shown, if needed.
NOTE: Fill amounts shown
are for standard powdered
detergent. Follow
instructions on the package
when using other dishwasher
detergent.
Add Rinse Aid
■ Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying
performance. Without rinse aid your dishes and dishwasher
interior will have excessive moisture. The heat dry option will
not perform as well without rinse aid.
■ Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as
spots or streaks. They also improve drying by allowing water to
drain off of the dishes after the final rinse.
■ Rinse aid helps to reduce excess moisture on the dish racks
and interior of your dishwasher.
■ Check the rinse aid indicator. Add rinse aid when indicator
drops to “Refill” level.
■ To add rinse aid, turn the dispenser
cap counterclockwise and lift off. Pour
rinse aid into the opening until the
indicator window looks full. Replace
the dispenser cap and turn clockwise.
Make sure cap is fully locked.
NOTE: For most water conditions, the
factory setting of 2 will give good results. If you
have hard water or notice rings or spots, try a
higher setting. Turn the arrow adjuster inside the
dispenser by either using your fingers or inserting a
flat-blade screwdriver into the center of the arrow
and turning.
