Dishwasher Setup
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results,
use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.
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 than most, there-
fore, less detergent is required. With soft water, 1
tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean most
loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that
measure detergent (
Figure 1
) to 1 tablespoon (15
ml) and 2 tablespoons (25 ml). 3 tablespoons (45
ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent
dispenser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml (1 tbsp)
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 mea-
sure the amount of detergent recommended in
Table 1
.
