Salt
Refill the salt container, using a funnel to pour, right before turning on the
unit to ensure that salt overflow is immediately washed away. This prevents
corrosion. See
Figure 1
.
1
Open the screw cap of the salt container.
2
Fill the container with water (only required when turning on the unit for the
first time).
3
Add dishwasher salt until the was is displaced and runs out.
4
Refill with salt as soon as the salt refill indicator is lit.
Notice: Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. It will destroy the water
softening system. To prevent corrosion, refill with salt and immediately begin
any cycle.
Note: Refill salt only when the “Refill Salt” LED is lit.
Do not use salt tablets or any salt other than dishwasher water softening salt.
For more information about ordering salt please contact Customer Service.
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers.
Note: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your
dishwasher.
Note: Do not use detergent tabs in the “Express” wash cycle.
The dishwasher uses less water, therefore, less detergent is required. With
soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The deter-
gent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent (
Figure 2 ) to 1 table-
spoon (15 ml) and 1.75 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 15ml of deter-
gent. 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
Table 2 .
