DISHWASHER DISPENSER INSTRUCTIONS

Adding Detergent to the Dispenser

Premeasured Detergents

Premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for improved

performance. See the “Add detergent” section in the online guide for

more details about choosing powders or gels.

Tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid or gel

detergents at reducing filming on dishes. Using tablets and packs over

time will start to reduce or eliminate white film. Also, by using a rinse

aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white film. These forms are

suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured

detergents in main compartment and slide lid closed.

NOTE:

Follow instructions on the package when using other

dishwasher detergent types.

■

Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powder, liquid or

tablet detergent just before starting a cycle.

■

Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.

Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool, dry place.

To close lid

Place selected detergent in the dispenser. Place finger, as shown, and

slide lid closed. Press firmly until it clicks.

To open lid

Push OPEN, as shown, and the lid will slide open.

Note:

If you do not plan to run a wash cycle soon, run a rinse cycle

without detergent. (on some models.)

Adding Rinse Aid to the Dispenser

You must use a drying agent such as a rinse aid for good drying

performance.

Rinse aid along with the heating and drying option will provide the best

drying and avoid excessive moisture in dishwasher interior.

■

Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying

performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior

will have excessive moisture. The heating and drying options will

not perform as well without rinse aid.

■

Rinse aid keeps water from forming droplets on items like dinner or

wine glasses that can dry as spots or streaks. It also improves

drying by allowing water to drain off of dishes after final rinse.

■

To add rinse aid, open the rinse dispenser lid by gently pushing in

the center of the lid with your thumb and lifting up on the edge.

■

Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator level shows that it

is full.

■

Close dispenser lid by pushing down gently on the lid.

NOTE:

For most water conditions, good drying will result from the

factory setting for the amount of rinse aid dispensed.

■

If you are experiencing poor drying performance, you may want to

try a higher setting.

■

Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher setting to increase the amount of

rinse aid.
