Detergent on door for prewash plus detergent in
compartment for main wash.
Detergent in compartment for main wash only.
Adding the detergent
• Use no detergent for Rinse and Hold.
• Detergent should be poured loosely on the
inside surface of the door for the Prewash in the
Pots and Pans program and Normal Wash.
• For all other programs with a main wash, pour
detergent into the detergent compartment. Close
the cover when you have put in the correct
amount of detergent.
• Put the detergent on the door (if necessary)
and detergent compartment just before you start
the dishwasher to make certain it is fresh.
Note: Close cover after you have added the detergent
Storing the detergent
• For best results, keep your detergent container tightly closed after each use, out of reach of children , and
stored in a cool, dry place. Storage under the sink is not advisable for powdered detergents, because this area
is generally too warm and moist to keep detergent fresh.
• If your detergent gets old or lumpy, throw it away. Old detergent looses its strength and lumpy detergent may
not dissolve.
Rinse aids
A rinse aid causes water to flow off the dishes quicker, preventing droplets that dry as spots and making the
drying process faster. Rinse aids come in solid and liquid forms. Your dishwasher's rinse aid dispenser uses
the liquid form. For the best results, use a liquid rinse aids only if you have moderately hard to hard water.
Rinse aids used with soft water can cause a cloudy film on dishes.
Filling the rinse aid dispenser
The drying sequence is quicker if you use rinse aid. In the middle of
the filler cap there is an inspection eye (see picture to right). If the eye
is completely black there is sufficient rinse aid in the container. If the
eye is clear more rinse aid needs to be added.
Use of rinse aid may not be necessary if you have a water softener.
Adjusting the dosage of the rinse aid
The rinse aid dosage is set by the manufacturer and is dispensed automa­
tically at the end of a wash program.
If necessary the rinse aid dosage can be adjusted by inserting a screwdri­
ver inside the filler hole where the adjustment device is set on "1". How­
ever when using hard water (above 8 gpg) a rinse aid containing citric acid
can be used. Under these circumstances the dosage can be increased by
setting the dial to "3" or "4".
Note: Too much rinse aid is not advisable as this might result in the
formation of foam, especially if the machine is connected to cold water
SUDOlv.
