7 Adding Detergent & 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 in your dishwasher. ■ To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent in soft water may cause etching in glassware. 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 Tables below.
