USING THE DISPENSERS

Filling the Detergent Dispenser

• Use only fresh automatic dishwashing
detergent. Other types will cause
oversudsing.
• Add detergent just before starting cycle.
• Store detergent in a cool, dry location.
Moist or caked detergent will not dissolve
properly.
The detergent dispenser has one covered
and one uncovered cup. Detergent in the
uncovered cup falls into the dishwasher when
the door is closed. The covered cup opens
automatically in the main wash.
How much Detergent to use
The amount of detergent to use depends on
the water hardness. Water hardness is
measured in grains per gallon. Using too little
detergent can result in poor cleaning and hard water filming or spotting. Using too much
detergent in soft water can cause permanent etching on glassware. Your local water company,
water softener company or county extension agent can tell you the water hardness in your
area.
More detergent may be needed if the phosphorus content is 8.7% or less. The phosphorus
content is shown on the detergent label.

Rinse Aid Dispenser

Rinse aid greatly improves drying and
reduces water spots and filming. Water
"sheets" off dishes rather than forming water
droplets that cling and leave spots.
A dispenser, located next to the detergent
cup, automatically releases a measured
amount of rinse aid during the last rinse. If
spotting and poor drying are problems,
increase the amount of rinse aid dispensed by
rotating the dial to a higher number. The dial
is located under the dispenser cap. The
indicator will be dark when full and will show
clear when it is time to refill.
To add liquid rinse aid, turn dispenser cap 1/4
turn counterclockwise and lift out. Pour in
rinse aid until liquid touches the indicated fill
level. Replace cap.
Do not overfill since this can cause
oversudsing. Wipe up any spills with a
damp cloth.
The dispenser holds enough for 35 to 140
washes, depending on setting.
