dishwashJng products in your dishwasher.
[]
[o 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.
an Rinse Agent
Rinse Agent
To achieve proper drying, always use a liquid rinse agent,
even if your detergent contains a rinse agent or drying
additive.
NOTE: The dishwasher indicates low rinse agent by the
Rinse Agent Indicator Light.
Add liquid rinse agent to the dispenser until the rinse
agent reservoir is full.Wipe up any excess rinse agent
that puddles when the dispenser reservoir is full.
After filling the rinse agent dispenser, the indicator light
will go out in a few minutes after the dishwasher door is
shut.
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:
• I 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 theTables below.
