Operating the dishwasher
Adding detergent
Use only powdered detergents or
tablets formulated for residential
dishwashers. Do not use gels or
liquid detergents.
^
Press the latch on the detergent dis-
penser. The cover will spring open.
^
Fill the dispenser with 1 ½ table-
spoons (25 ml) 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 a thorough cleaning. If
dishes are extra dirty, 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
in the center of the dispenser, 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 run the dish-
washer.
Capacities:
Compartment I (prewash) holds a maxi-
mum of 3/4 ounce (20 ml) and Com-
partment II (main wash) holds a maxi-
mum of 2 3/4 ounces (70 ml) when
completely filled. The horizontal marks
in Compartment II indicate levels of ap-
proximately 3/4, 1, and 1 1/4 ounces
(20, 25 and 30 ml) respectively.
