Adding Detergent & Rinse Agent
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers.
For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing
detergent.
The dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less
detergent. With soft water, 1 tbsp. (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.
NOTE
: If you do not know the hardness of your water
supply, use 15ml of detergent. 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 the Table.
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, it may cause etching in
glassware.

Rinse Agent
To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse agent,
even if your detergent contains a rinse agent or drying
additive.
NOTE:
The dishwasher indicates low rinse agent by
showing the
symbol in the countdown display. Units
without a display have a Rinse Agent LED that illuminates
when the Rinse Agent is low ( see illustration below).
Add liquid rinse agent to the dispenser until the rinse
agent reservoir is full. Wipe up any excess rinse agent that
puddles when the dispenser reservoir is full.
After filling the rinse agent dispenser, the indicator light
will go out in a few minutes after the dishwasher door is
shut (select models only).
This is a portion of a dishwasher fascia panel. The position of Rinse
Agent LED and the cycle names will vary depending on your unit.
