^ Close the cover. The cover will al-
ways be open at the end of a wash
program (except "Rinse & Hold").
Generally, filling the dispenser with
1 ½ tablespoons (25 ml) of detergent is
enough for a thorough cleaning. If
dishes are extra dirty, or if food has
dried on the dishes, a program contain-
ing a prewash cycle should be se-
lected. Add an extra tablespoon
(15 ml) of detergent to compartment I
in the center of the dispenser, or place
directly on the inner door panel.
Dishwasher detergents contain irri-
tant and corrosive ingredients. They
can cause burns in the mouth and
throat if swallowed, or inhibit breath-
ing. Keep children away from deter-
gent and from the dishwasher when
the door is open.
To prevent children from coming into
contact with dishwasher detergent,
do not fill the detergent dispenser
until you are ready to run the dish-
washer.
