detergent is needed for a normal wash load. More heavily soiled items need more detergent. Always add the detergent just
before starting 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 differences in water hardness. To determine the water hardness in your area,
contact your local water utility or water softening company. The harder the water, the more detergent you may need.
Remember, you should adjust the amount of detergent you use by small amounts until you find the correct amount.

To remove hard water spots, try the following:
Run dishes through a normal wash program.
Remove all metal dishware, such as cutlery, pans, etc.,
from the dishwasher.

Proper Use of Detergent

Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers.
Keep your detergent fresh and dry. Don't put powder detergent
into the dispenser until you are ready to wash dishes.
The rinse aid is released during the final rinse cycle to prevent water
spots from forming on your dishes that can leave spots
and streaks. It also improves drying by allowing water to
"sheet" off the dishes.
Our dishwashers are designed to use liquid rinse aids. The
rinse aid dispenser is located inside the door next to the
detergent dispenser. To fill the dispenser, open the cap and
pour the rinse aid into the dispenser until the level indicator
turns completely black. The dispenser holds about 100 ml (3.3 oz)
of liquid rinse aid.
Be careful not to overfill the dispenser, because this could
cause over sudsing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
Don't forget to replace the cap before you close the dishwasher
door.
If you have soft water, you may not need rinse aid for it may
cause a white film to develop on your dishes.
A measured amount of rinse aid is released during the final rinse. As with
detergent, the amount of rinse aid needed for your dishes depends on the
hardness of the water in your area. Too much rinse aid can result in lather
foaming and cause cloudiness or str eaks on your dishes. If the water in your
area is very soft, you may not need rinse aid. If you do, you can dilute the
rinse aid with an equal amount of water.
The rinse aid dispenser has six settings. Always start with the dispenser set
on " 1 ". If spots and poor drying are problems, increase the amount of rinse
aid dispensed by removing the dispenser lid and rotating the dial to "2". If the
dishes still are not drying properly or are spotted, adjust the dial to the next
higher number until your dishes are spot-free.
