Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Using the dishwasher. SmartDispenseTM Detergent Dispenser (on some models) This dishwasher may have a SmartDispense™ feature which automatically dispenses liquid automatic dishwasher detergent into each cycle based on soil level and water hardness. To utilize the SmartDispense™ Detergent Dispenser, it must first be filled. Although any liquid or gel automatic dishwashing detergent can be used in the SmartDispense™ system, all liquid or gel automatic dishwashing detergents are not the same. Most automatic dishwashing detergents are chlorine bleach-based (such as Cascade®) while others contain enzymes (such as Cascade Complete®). Do not mix any chlorine bleach-based automatic dishwashing detergent with any dishwashing detergent containing enzymes as this could cause the detergents to congeal and lead to blockage of the SmartDispense™ system. Check the detergent label to determine if the detergent is chlorine bleach-based or one that contains enzymes. It is recommended that the same type of detergent be used when refilling your SmartDispense™ system. Set the door at a comfortable angle to fill the dispenser. Aim the detergent bottle at the opening in the door and begin to fill. CAUTION! Absolutely do not add powder detergent, tablets or any liquid soap or detergent normally used for washing hands or dishes in a sink. Only use liquid or gel detergent specifically designed for use in an automatic dishwasher. The dispenser will hold 40 oz of liquid dishwasher detergent (standard size bottle). When full, replace the cap and turn clockwise until tight to ensure that no water enters the SmartDispense™ dispenser. If residue is left on the door, it will be washed off in the next cycle. ¡PRECAUCIÓN! Bajo ninguna circunstancia agregue detergente en polvo, tabletas, o jabón o detergente líquido normalmente utilizado para lavar manos o platos en un fregadero. Sólo utilice detergente líquido o en gel específicamente diseñados para utilizar en lavaplatos automáticos. Filling Dispenser To open the dispenser for filling, push down and turn the blue cap counterclockwise until the cap is loose. Lift cap off. Turn clockwise until tight. An indicator light will turn on to notify you when the dispenser needs to be filled again. After filling, the light will not turn off until the door is closed. A full dispenser will last approximately 1 month for the average user. Light will turn on when it is time to refill. Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support NOTE: If you are not using SmartDispense™ and you want to turn the LOW DETERGENT LED light off, press the ADDED HEAT pad 5 times within 3 seconds. You will hear 3 beeps, then the light will go off. You can turn the light back on by pressing the ADDED HEAT pad 5 times within 3 seconds. 14
