The detergent dispenser has 2 sections. The smaller Pre-Wash

the door,
Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up
and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested
items.
IMPORTANT: Always load sharp items
pointing down.

Do not load silver or silver-plated silverware with stainless
steel These metals can be damaged by contact with each
other during washing.

etc.) can pit or corrode silverware, Run a rinse cycle if you do
not have a full load to wash immediately.

2. Main wash section
3. Pre-wash section
4. Cover
The larger Main Wash section automatically empties detergent
into the dishwasher during the wash. (See the "Cycle Selection
Chart.")
• Use automatic dishwashing detergent only. Other detergents
can produce excessive suds that can overflow out of the
dishwasher and reduce washing performance.
• Add detergent just before starting a cycle.
• Store tightly closed detergent in a cool, dry place. Fresh
automatic dishwasher detergent results in better cleaning.
NOTE: Do not use detergent with a rinse cycle.
