Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent

Detergent

Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered 
dishwashing detergent.

NOTICE

 

To  avoid  dishwasher  damage,  do  not  use  hand  dishwashing  products  in  your  dish-
washer.  

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.

NOTICE

 

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.
