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

Filling the Detergent Dispenser
Fill the dispenser cup as recommend in Table 1. (See Figure 17 for additional information.)
To close, slide the detergent dispenser cover in the direction shown in Figure 18 and press it
down firmly so the cover snaps shut.
To open the detergent dispenser cover, press the blue release tab in the direction shown in
Figure 19. Pressing down on the release tab will not open the cover.
Rinse Agents
To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse agent, even if your detergent contains a
rinse agent or drying additive.
Rinse Agent Dispenser
Open the rinse agent dispenser by lifting the tab with your thumb as shown in
Figure 20.
NOTE: The dishwasher indicates low rinse agent with the “Refill Rinse Agent” message at
the control panel.
Add liquid rinse agent to the dispenser as shown in Figure 21 until the rinse agent reservoir
is full. Wipe up any excess rinse agent that puddles when the dispenser reservoir is full.
