Using the Dishwasher
Dishwasher
DO NOT USE HAND DISH DETERGENT
NOTE: Using a detergent that is not specifically
designed for dishwashers will cause the dish-
washer to fill with suds. During operation, these
suds will spill out of the dishwasher vents, covering
the kitchen floor and making the floor wet. Hand
and Clothes washing detergent cannot be used as
the build-up of foam may damage or impede the
machine's performance.
Because so many detergent containers look alike,
store the dishwasher detergent in a separate
space from all other cleaners. Show anyone who
may use the dishwasher the correct detergent and
where it is stored.
