DETERGENT DISPENSER
Dishwasher detergent is necessary to remove food from dishes and help move it out of the dishwasher� Only
use detergents that are specifically made for dishwashers� Fill the detergent dispenser before the start of each
wash per the instructions provided in the Wash Cycle Table� Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse aid
then conventional dishwashers� Generally, only one tablespoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load,
though more heavily soiled items may need more detergent� ALWAYS add the detergent just before starting the
dishwasher to avoid it getting wet as that may prevent it from dissolving properly�
DETERGENTS
If powdered detergents that do not contain phosphate are used with hard water, white spots may appear on
dishes� If this occurs, add more detergent to dishwasher for better results� Detergents that do not have chlorine
may not completely remove food and spots from dishes� If this occurs, choose a wash program with a higher
temperature�
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be split in two basic types:
•
Conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic ingredients
•
Concentrated, low alkaline detergents with natural enzymes
Using concentrated detergents reduces pollution, is easier on your dishes, and the normal wash programs are
designed to maximize the dirt-dissolving properties of the enzymes, allowing a normal wash program with
concentrated detergent to give the same results normally achieved using a heavy wash program�
DETERGENT TABLETS
Different brands of detergent tablets dissolve at different rates� For this reason, some tablets may not fully
dissolve and therefore may not fully clean the dishes� When using tablets, be sure to use a longer wash program
to ensure that the tablet dissolves and that all residual detergents are rinsed out of the dishwasher�
NOTE:
Detergent tablets should only be used in models with 3-in-1 function�
FILLING DETERGENT DISPENSER
If the door to the dispenser is closed, push the release latch and it will spring open� Fill the dispenser to required
level based on washing cycle�
Pre-Wash Chamber
Fill the detergent dispenser with detergent� The smaller compartment on the left side(Figure 8, a) is for 0�50oz (15g)
of detergent, and the larger compartment on the right side(Figure 8, b) holds 0�88oz (25g)� Be sure to observe the
manufacturers use and storage recommendations as stated on the detergent packaging� Close the lid and press until
it locks in place� If the dishes are heavily soiled, put additional detergent in the pre-wash detergent chamber�
