DETERGENT
Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers.
For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent.
The dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less
detergent. With soft water, 1 tbsp. (15ml) of detergent will
clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that
measure detergent to:
•
1 tablespoon (15ml)
•
1.75 tablespoons (25ml)
3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the
detergent dispenser cup.
NOTE: If you do not know the hardness of your water
supply, use 1 Tbsp.(15ml) 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 to
measure the amount of detergent recommended in the
Table.
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, it may cause etching in
glassware.
