Salt
Only
refill the salt container, using a funnel to pour, right before turning
on the unit to ensure that salt overflow is immediately washed away. This
prevents corrosion. See
Figure 2
.
1
Open the screw cap of the salt container.
2
Fill the container with water (only required when turning on the unit for
the first time).
3
Add dishwasher salt until the water is displaced and runs out.
4
Refill with salt as soon as the “Refill Salt” LED is lit.
Notice
:
Never fill the salt dispenser with detergent. It will destroy the
water softening system. To prevent corrosion, refill with salt and immedi-
ately begin any cycle.
Note: Do not use salt tablets or any salt other than dishwasher water softening salt.
For more information about ordering salt please contact Customer Service (1-800-944-2904).
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dish-
washing detergent or detergent tabs
.
NOTICE
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much
detergent with soft water may cause etching in glassware.
The dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is
required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of detergent will clean
most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure deter-
gent (
Figure 3
) to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 1.75tablespoons (25 ml). 3
tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dis-
penser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15 ml (1 tbsp)
of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to the least amount required to
get your kitchenware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to
measure the amount of detergent recommended in
Table 2
.
