Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers.
Note: To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your
dishwasher.
The dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is
required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most
loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent (
Figure
2
) to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 2 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of
detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml (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 measure
the amount of detergent recommended in
Table 2
.

Rinse Aid
To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse aid, even if your detergent
contains a rinse aid or drying additive.
Note: The dishwasher indicates low rinse aid by turning on the “Refill Rinse Aid”
or “Add Rinse Aid” LED in the display.
If this light is on, you need to refill the rinse aid dispenser by following the direc-
tions below.
Adding Rinse Aid
Add liquid rinse aid to the dispenser until the reservoir is full (see
Figure 5
).
Wipe up any excess rinse aid that may puddle when the dispenser reservoir is
full. The indicator light will go out a few moments after the dishwasher door
is shut. See
page 9
for how to adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed.
