Adding Detergent and Rinse Aid

Detergent
Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing
detergent or detergent tabs.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher.
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use too much detergent if your water is soft. Using too much detergent with
soft water may cause etching in glassware.
This dishwasher uses less water than most, therefore, less detergent is required. With soft water, 1 tablespoon
(15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1
tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the deter-
gent dispenser.
Note: If you do not know the hardness of your water supply, use 15ml of detergent. Increase the amount if necessary to
the least amount required to get your kitchenware clean.
Use the measuring lines in the detergent dispenser cup as a guide to measure the
amount of detergent recommended in Table 1.
