Operating the dishwasher
Adding detergent
Only use powder detergents or tab-
lets formulated for residential dish-
washers. Do not use gels or liquid
detergents.
^
Press the latch on the detergent
dispenser. The cover will spring
open.
^
Fill the dispenser with 1 ½ table-
spoons of powder detergent, or
place a detergent tablet into com-
partment II.
^
Close the cover. The cover will al-
ways be open at the end of a wash
program (except “Rinse & Hold” ).
Generally, filling the dispenser with
1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of detergent is
enough for most normally soiled loads.
For heavily soiled loads, or if food has
dried on the dishes, a program contain-
ing a prewash cycle should be se-
lected. Add an extra tablespoon (15 ml)
of detergent to compartment I, or place
directly on the inner door panel.
Dishwasher detergents contain irri-
tant and corrosive ingredients. They
can cause burns in the mouth and
throat if swallowed, or inhibit breath-
ing. Keep children away from deter-
gent and from the dishwasher when
the door is open.
To prevent children from coming into
contact with dishwasher detergent,
do not fill the detergent dispenser
until you are ready to start the dish-
washer.
Capacities:
Compartment I (prewash) holds a maxi-
mum of 3/4 ounce (20 ml) and Com-
