.8.  Detergent usage

Only use detergents specifically designed for domestic dishwashers. Keep your detergents 

in cool, dry places out of reach of children. 

Add the proper detergent for the selected program to ensure the best performance. The 

amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load size, and soil level of dishes. 

Do not fill detergent into the detergent compartment more than required; otherwise you can 

see whitish streaks or bluish layers on glass and dishes and may cause glass corrosion.
