Salt Figure 2 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 immediately 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 dishwashing 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 detergent (Figure 3) to 1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 2 tablespoons (25 ml). 3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser. 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.
