Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for
dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered
dishwashing detergent or detergent tabs.
To avoid damage to dishwasher or dishware:
NOTICE:
Do not use hand dishwashing products in your
▯
dishwasher.
Do not use too much detergent if your water is soft.
▯
Using too much detergent with soft water may cause
etching in glassware and fine china.
To best protect glassware, use a wash cycle with low
▯
temperatures or a specific glass-care cycle
(depending on the model) and use a detergent that
includes etch protection.
This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore,
less detergent is required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon
(15 ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent
dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to
1 tablespoon (15 ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25 ml).
3 tablespoons (45 ml) of detergent will completely fill the
detergent dispenser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water
supply, use 15 ml 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 following table.
