Open detergent cup Add detergent (dry powder, liquid, or packets) to the cup. Close the detergent dispenser cover. The amount of detergent required depends on the cycle selected and the soil level on the dishes.
USING YOUR DISHWASHER Filling the rinse aid dispenser Your dishwasher is designed to use a liquid rinse aid. The use of rinse aid greatly improves drying performance after the final rinse. Do not use a solid or bar-type rinse aid. Under normal conditions, the rinse aid will last approximately one month.
FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE Using rinse aid Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. In addition, the heated dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid. The rinse aid dispenser, located next to the detergent cup, automatically releases a measured amount of rinse aid during the last rinse.
