Some models come equipped with an automatic liquid
dishwasher detergent dispenser (SmartDispense
TM
) and
a manual dispenser. You can use either of these dispensers
but don’t use both at the same time.
The cover of the manual dispenser will open during the
wash cycle. If you are using SmartDispense
TM
, leave the
cover of the manual dispenser open before starting the
cycle.
For the manual dispenser,
Cascade
®
Automatic
Dishwashing Detergents have been approved. You may use
powder, liquid, gel packets or tablets in this dispenser. It is
important to keep powdered detergents and tablets fresh
and dry so they don’t lose effectiveness. Therefore, do not
put detergent into the manual dispenser until you are ready
to wash dishes.
Filling Manual Detergent Dispenser
The amount of detergent to use depends on whether your
water is
hard
or
soft
. With hard water, you need extra
detergent. With soft water, you need less detergent.
Protect your dishes and dishwasher by contacting your
water department and asking how hard your water is.
Twelve or more grains is extremely hard water. A water
softener is recommended. Without it, lime can build up in
the water valve, which could stick while open and cause
flooding. Too much detergent with soft water can cause
a permanent cloudiness of glassware, called
etching.
Use the information in the table below as a guide to
determine the amount of automatic dishwasher detergent
to place in the dispenser.
When using automatic dishwashing detergent packets
or tablets, simply place one in the main wash section and
close the cover.
For heavily soiled loads, use a bit more detergent. For water
temperatures above 140°F, use a bit less detergent.
For heavily soiled loads, use the Deep Clean or Cookware cycle.
DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
NOTE:
Using a detergent that is not specifically designed
for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds.
During operation, these suds will spill out of the dishwasher
vents, covering the kitchen floor and making the floor wet.
Because so many detergent containers look alike, store
the dishwasher detergent in a separate space from all
other cleaners. Show anyone who may use the dishwasher
the correct detergent and where it is stored.
While there will be no lasting damage to the dishwasher,
your dishes will not get clean using a dishwashing
detergent that is not formulated to work with dishwashers.
