5 Adding Detergent To The Dispenser - LG LDS5540ST Owner's Manual

ADDING DETERGENT TO THE DISPENSER
y Only use detergent intended for automatic dishwashers.
y Detergent must be put into the detergent compartment be-
fore starting any cycle.
y Use less detergent if the dishes are only lightly soiled. Using ex-
cess detergent can leave a film on dishes and in the dishwasher
resulting in poor wash performance.
y The amount of detergent needed depends on the cycle, load
size, and soil level of dishes.
NOTE
Remove the label on the dispenser prior to running
the dishwasher.
