Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Keep
your detergent fresh and dry. Don’t put powder detergent into the
dispenser until you’re ready to wash dishes.
The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your water is
hard
or
soft
. With hard water, you need extra detergent. With soft
water, you need less detergent.
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your water
department and asking how hard your water is. Twelve or more
grains is extremely hard water. A water softener is recommended.
Without it, lime can build up in the water valve, which could stick
while open and cause flooding. Too much detergent with soft water
can cause a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called
etching
.
You’ll find two detergent dispensers on the
inside door of your dishwasher. All wash cycles
require detergent in the main cup. Wash cycles
with two washes will also use the open cup.
Be sure the Dial is at
OFF
position before
adding detergent. Otherwise, the detergent
cup will not close and latch properly. Add
detergent then close the main cup.
NOTE:
To open detergent cup after it has
been closed, simply turn the detergent cup
handle counter-clockwise until it releases. A
snapping sound may be heard.

Forget to Add a Dish?
A forgotten dish can be added any time before the main wash.
Push the door latch to the left.
Once the water calms, open the door. Steam may rise out of the
dishwasher.
Add forgotten dishes.
Close the door and push the latch to the far right.
