How much detergent
to use
•
The amount of detergent to use depends on the soil level of your dishes, hardness of your water, and the type of detergent. If you
use too little, dishes will not be clean. If you use too much in soft water, glassware will etch.
•
Water hardness can change over a period of time. Find out your water's hardness by asking your local water department, water
softener company, or county extension agent.

NOTE: Fill amounts shown are for standard powdered detergent. Amounts may vary if you use lic uid or concentrated
powdered
detergent. Tablet detergents should be placed in the main wash section of the detergent dispenser with the cover closed. Follow
instructions
on the package when using liquid dishwasher detergent, concentrated
powdered detergent or tablet detergent.
IMPORTANT:
Your dishwasher
is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to
drain from the dishes after the final rinse. They also keep water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks. Do not use a
solid or bar-type rinse aid.
Filling the dispenser
The rinse aid dispenser holds 5 oz (150 mL) of rinse aid. Under
normal conditions, this will last for about 1 to 3 months.
1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
2. Turn the dispenser knob to "Open" and lift it out.

position.
Rinse aid setting
The amount of rinse aid released into the final rinse can be
adjusted. For most water conditions, the factory setting of 2 will
give good results. If you have hard water or notice rings or
calcium spots on your glasses or dishes, try a higher setting.

Pour rinse aid into the opening until the indicator points to
"Full." Take care not to overfill. (When the rinse aid indicator
drops to the "Add" level, add more rinse aid.)
