OPERATION
FILLING THE DETERGENT DISPENSER
1. Open the detergent dispenser cap by pushing the detergent
dispenser release button.
NOTE:
The flap should always open at
the end of a dishwashing cycle.
2. Add the recommended amount of detergent to the main wash
detergent compartment.
3. Close the flap and then press it down until it clicks shut.
FILLING THE RINSE AID DISPENSER
• Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Without rinse
aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture.
• The heated dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. The rinse aid
dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured
amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.
• If the rinse aid is low, the rinse aid light is illuminated at the beginning and end of the
cycle, indicating that it is time to refill.
• NOTE:
While rinse aid will assist in the drying process, the dishwasher is not
designed to completely dry every dish. Some water will naturally accumulate in
items that have reservoirs, such as plastic containers and the bottom of coffee mugs.
This is a normal occurrence in nearly all dishwasher models.
WARNING
Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse greatly
improves drying performance after the final rinse. Do not use a solid or
bar-type rinse aid. Under normal conditions, the rinse aid will last
approximately one month. It is best to keep it full, but do not over fill.
