Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dish-
washing detergent.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much
detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware.
The dishwasher uses less water, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon
(15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure deter-
gent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will com-
pletely fill the detergent dispenser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of deter-
gent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to get your
kitchenware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure
the amount of detergent recommended in
Table 1.
