DISHWASHER DISPENSER & DETERGENTS Filling the Detergent Dispenser The detergent dispenser has a main wash cup where you will add your detergent or detergent tab. • Use only fresh automatic dishwashing detergent. Other detergents may cause oversudsing. • When using automatic dishwashing detergent tablet, place one tablet in main wash cup and close. • Add detergent just before starting cycle. • Store detergent in a cool, dry location. Moist or caked detergent may not dissolve properly. How much Detergent to use The amount of detergent to use depends on the water hardness. Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. Using too little detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much detergent in soft water can cause etching to some glassware which is surface damage that appears like a film but cannot be wiped off. Your local water company, water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your area. Main Wash Cup CAUTION The use of industrial grade detergent can damage parts of the dishwasher leading to damage to the unit and surrounding property. Use only household grade automatic dishwasher detergents. Cover Latch NOTE Hard water may cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. For cleaning instructions see "Removing Spots and film" section. Main Wash Cover NOTE Detergent tablets and All-In-One packs may not dissolve completely if used with the 30 Min Wash cycle. If one of these products are used, place the tab or pack directly on the bottom of the tub in a corner before starting the dishwasher, rather than placing these products in the dispenser. 13
