NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use lic uid or concentrated powdered
detergent. Tablet detergents should be placed in the main wash section of the detergent dispenser with the cover closed. Follow
instructions on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent, concentrated powdered detergent or tablet detergent.
IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to
drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do not use a
solid or bar-type rinse aid.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 months.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Turn the dispenser knob to "Open" and lift it out.
