Using the detergent dispenser
What type of detergent to use
• Use automatic dishwasher detergent only.
NOTE: Never use soap, hand-dishwashing
detergent, or laundry detergent. These
products will produce excessive suds which
could cause flooding and reduce washing
performance.
• Follow manufacturer's instructionswhen
using powdered, liquid,or gel dishwasher
detergents. Concentrated (Ultra) powdered
detergents usually call for lower usage than
do standard powdered detergents.
• Add detergent to the dispenser just before
starting the dishwasher.
• Keep detergent container tightly closed in a
cool, dry place, out of the reach of children.
After opening, a box ofdetergent should
stay fresh for about 1 month. Detergent
exposed to moisture over a period of time
mightbecome caked and ineffective.
