7 Adding Detergent & Rinse Agent Detergent Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent. 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, it may cause etching in glassware. Rinse Agent To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse agent, even if your detergent contains a rinse agent or drying additive. NOTE: The dishwasher indicates low rinse agent by showing the symbol in the countdown display. Units without a display have a Rinse Agent LED that illuminates when the Rinse Agent is low ( see illustration below). This is a portion of a dishwasher fascia panel. The position of Rinse Agent LED and the cycle names will vary depending on your unit. 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) AND • 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 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 as a guide to measure the amount of detergent recommended in the Table. Add liquid rinse agent to the dispenser until the rinse agent reservoir is full. Wipe up any excess rinse agent that puddles when the dispenser reservoir is full. After filling the rinse agent dispenser, the indicator light will go out in a few minutes after the dishwasher door is shut (select models only).
