Detergent Dispenser; Rinse Agent Dispenser - Danby Silhouette DDW2405W Instruction Manual

DETERGENT DISPENSER
The dispenser must be refilled before the start of each wash cycle following the instructions provided in the "Wash Cycle
Table". Your dishwasher uses less detergent and rinse agent than conventional dishwashers. Generally, only one table-
spoon of detergent is needed for a normal wash load. Items that are heavily soiled, require more detergent.
Always add the detergent just before starting the dishwasher, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
Amount of Detergent to Use
The amount of detergent needed can vary due to the differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in
your area, contact your local water utility or area water softening company. The harder the water, the more detergent
you may need. Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use little by little, until you find the right
amount.
Removing Hard WaterSpots
To remove hard water spots, try the following:
• Run dishes through a normal wash program.
• Remove all metal dish-ware, such as cutlery, pans,
etc., from the dishwasher.
• Do not add detergent.
• Pour two cups of vinegar into a bowl and set the bowl
face up on the lower rack of the dishwasher.
• Run the dishwasher though a normal wash program. If
this doesn't work, try the same process with a 1/4 cup
of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.
To open the detergent cover, press the button and the
cover will flip back.
A WARNING!
Dishwasher detergent is corrosive! Take care to keep it
out of the reach of children.
RINSE AGENT DISPENSER
Proper Use of Detergent
Use only detergent specifically made for use in automatic
dishwashers. Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put
powder detergent into dispenser until you're ready to wash
dishes.

Fifling the Dispenser
The rinse agent dispenser holds 3.5 oz of rinse agent. Under
normal conditions, this will last approximately one month. Try to
keep it full, but do not overfill.
• Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open.
• Turn the dispenser knob to the left and lift it out.
• Add rinse agent until the indicator window looks full.
• Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth.
• Replace the dispenser cap.
Rinse Agent Setting
The amount of rinse agent released into the final wash can be
adjusted. The factory setting is at a midpoint. If there are rings
of calcium (hard water) spots on the dishes, try a higher setting.
Toadjust the Setting
Remove the dispenser cap, then turn the adjuster counter-
clockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent used and
clockwise to decrease the amount of rinse agent used.
A rinse agent is released during the final cycle to prevent water
droplets and streaks from forming on the dishes. A rinse agent
also allows water to "sheet" off the dishes easier and improve
drying time.
