Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent Detergent Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent. ATTENTION To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products. This dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less detergent. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (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.
