Use only detergents designed for use in dishwashers. Store detergents in a dry and clean place. Add detergent
in the dispenser only immediately before you start to wash dishes. Fill the dispenser with the necessary
amount of detergent only. Excessive amount of detergent can cause scratching of glasses and may lead to
poor dissolution of the detergent. Contact the detergent manufacturer for more information.
