Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it out
of reach of children.

The amount of detergent needed can vary due to differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water utility. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need.

Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the correct amount.

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 rinse aid is released during the final rinse to prevent water
from forming droplets on your dishes that can leave spots and

streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to "sheet" off
the dishes.

Your dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The

rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the

detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and
pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator

turns completely black. The dispenser holds about 100 ml of
liquid rinse aid.

Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could
cause oversudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.

Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher
door.

If you have soft water, you may not need rinse aid for it may
cause a white film to develop on your dishes.

YOU MAY NOT NEED TO ADD TOO MUCH DETERGENT BECAUSE YOUR DISHWASHER HAS A SPECIALLY-DESIGNED WATER

SOFTENER.

The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the" Wash Cycle

Table". Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Also, more heavily soiled items need
more detergent. Always add the detergent just before starting dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve

properly.

To open the dispenser, turn the cap to the "open" (left)
arrow and lift it out.

Pour the rinse aid into the dispenser, being careful not to

overfill.

Replace the cap by inserting it aligned with "open" arrow

and turning it to the closed (right) arrow.

A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with detergent, the amount

of rinse aid needed for your dishes depends on the hardness of the water in your area. Too much

rinse aid can result in lather of foaming and cause cloudiness or steaks on your dishes. If the

water in your area is very soft, you may not need rinse aid. If you do,you can dilute the rinse aid

with an equal amount of water.

The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set on " 1 ". If spots and

poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by removing the dispenser

lid and rotating the dial to "2". If the dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the

dial to the next higher number until your dishes are spot-free.
