USING YOUR
DISHWASHER
Detergent Dispenser
The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pre-
Wash section empties detergent into the dishwasher when
you close the door. The larger Main Wash section
automatically empties detergent into the dishwasher
during the wash cycle.
Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other
detergents can produce excessive suds that can
overflow out of the dishwasher and reduce washing
performance.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
= Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent resultsin better
cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.
Filling the dispenser
1. Ifthe dispenser cover is closed, open the cover by
rotatingthe button.
2. Fill the Main Wash section with detergent. See "How
Much Detergent to Use."
3. Close the Main Wash dispenser cover. Fillthe Pre-
Wash section.
How Much Detergent toUse
• The amount of detergent to use depends on the
hardnessofyour water and the type of detergent. If you
usetoo little,dishes won't be clean. Ifyou usetoo
much insoft water, glassware will etch.
e
Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find
out your water's hardness by asking your localwater
department, water softener company, or county
extension agent.
Youcan order a water hardness test strip. Call the
Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-422-1230 and
ask for Part Number 4171690.
Differentbrands ofdishwasher detergent have different
amounts of phosphorous for softeningwater. If you
have hard water and usea detergent with a
phosphorouscontent of lessthan 8.7%, you might
need to use more detergent, or use a detergent with a
phosphorouscontent higherthan 8.7%.
