Detergent And Rinse Aid; Detergent - Kenmore 1469 Use & Care Manual

Detergent

NOTE: Do not use detergent if running a rinse cycle.
■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add powdered,
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.
Premeasured Detergents
Many detergents now come in premeasured forms (gel packs,
tablets, or powder packs). These forms are suitable for all
hardness and soil levels. Always place premeasured detergents
in main compartment of the dispenser and slide lid to close.
To close lid
Place selected detergent in the
dispenser. Close the lid firmly
until it clicks.
High quality dishwasher detergent tablets or packs have been
proven to be better than powdered, liquid, or gel detergents at
reducing filming on dishes. Use of tablets and packs will start
to reduce or eliminate white film on dishes over time. The rinse
aid contained in the tablets or packs also minimizes buildup of
film caused by excess detergent.
